Our engineers embed deeply with customers, moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.

You Are:

A Forward-Deployed AI Engineer who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI platforms, enterprise systems, and real-world business problems.

• Drive solution architecture, including:

• Prompt and workflow design

• API integrations and orchestration

• Enterprise knowledge integration

• Security, privacy, and governance considerations

• Own solutions from concept → prototype → production → iteration, with accountability for quality, reliability, and outcomes.

• Provide technical leadership and best practices for responsible, secure, and scalable AI deployment.

At Accenture, we hire the best people and help them become even better through world-class training, career counseling, mentoring and support to help you maintain professional success.

• 2+ years experience with modern AI/ML platforms such as:

• OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar foundation model providers

• Workflow orchestration and agent frameworks

• 5+ years experience translating high-level business needs into concrete technical designs and implementations in a large enterprise-wide organizations or professional services firm.

• 5+ years enterprise platforms (ServiceNow, Salesforce, SAP, data platforms, etc.)

• 5+ years of experience in client-facing communication and collaboration, including leading technical discussions, workshops, or delivery sessions under ambiguity.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent OR equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
