What's In It For You?

• Join a worldwide network of digital product, full stack, cloud, data, and AI leaders delivering secure, scalable applications for enterprise transformation.
• Access world-class training, mentorship, and certifications across application architecture, cloud-native engineering, DevSecOps, product delivery, data platforms, and AI-enabled experiences.
• Lead high-visibility engagements across Marketing, Sales, Commerce, Customer Service, and Digital Products - taking cloud-native and AI-enabled applications from solution design through enterprise adoption.
• Shape Accenture's reusable application frameworks, design systems, service components, reference architectures, delivery standards, and AI experience patterns.

What You Will Do

As a Full Stack Engineering Manager, you will lead the solution design, implementation, and enterprise adoption of cloud-native and AI-enabled applications. You will combine full stack architecture and hands-on technical judgment with consulting and delivery leadership, integrating governed data platforms and ML/AI services into secure, scalable digital products.

• Translate business and product goals into solution architecture, experience and integration designs, prioritized backlogs, technical roadmaps, delivery estimates, and measurable acceptance criteria.
• Architect end-to-end application solutions spanning responsive front ends, back-end services, APIs, workflow or domain services, data stores, messaging, identity, and cloud runtime components.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams building accessible user experiences, microservices, real-time workflows, enterprise integrations, and reusable application capabilities.
• Define integration patterns for enterprise systems, APIs, event streams, governed data products, lakehouse or warehouse platforms, operational databases, and third-party services.
• Lead the design of AI-enabled applications using predictive model endpoints, Generative AI, RAG, vector search, copilots, agents, multimodal services, feedback loops, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Establish engineering practices for modular design, code quality, automated testing, DevSecOps, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containerization, environment promotion, observability, and production support.
• Ensure application solutions meet requirements for security, privacy, Responsible AI, accessibility, scalability, performance, resilience, maintainability, interoperability, and cost.
• Lead architecture, design, and code reviews; guide technology selection; resolve complex cross-stack issues; and maintain technical integrity through delivery.
• Engage senior client stakeholders through discovery workshops, solution presentations, architecture walkthroughs, prototypes, demonstrations, and decision forums - communicating value, risks, dependencies, and trade-offs.
• Manage delivery governance, resource planning, estimation, quality, dependencies, risks, issue resolution, release readiness, and project economics across application engagements.
• Lead and mentor Consultants and Analysts across front-end, back-end, quality, cloud, data integration, and AI application engineering, while collaborating closely with design, Data Engineering, and ML/AI Engineering teams.
• Contribute to proposals, reusable accelerators, reference architectures, design systems, engineering standards, and playbooks that scale full stack and AI application delivery across the practice.
