Job summary

Accenture is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer for the Agentic Identity Platform. This senior role focuses on technical leadership, design, and critical review rather than day-to-day coding. You will work in client environments, set direction, and prototype in the identity stack to address real-world constraints.

You will engage with high-signal engineering challenges, guiding teams, and balancing build vs. buy while ensuring robust, scalable solutions across engagements.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience building and shipping production software.
• Hands-on technical work within the last 24 months, counting development, prototyping, code review, or technical design review
• Minimum of 4 years of professional development in at least one of Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Java, or C++
• Minimum of 4 years designing and building concurrent or distributed systems that ran in production
• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience deploying and operating cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including containers and CI/CD pipelines
• Minimum of 2 years of technical leadership of at least 2 engineers, including code review and design review responsibility
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) OR (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate's Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)

Responsibilities

• Own the technical design for an engagement, including the decisions you'll be held to when they're wrong
• Stay close enough to the agentic identity stack to review the implementation critically and prototype in it when that's the fastest way to settle a question
• Set the technical direction the engineers on your engagement follow, and review their code
• Reverse-engineer how identity actually works in a client environment, then design what it should be
• Make the build-versus-buy calls and document why, in a form that survives your leaving the project
• Prototype against emerging standards and vendor betas, often before documentation exists
• Build the reference implementations and technical content that become how the practice does this work
• Grow the engineers around you, primarily by working alongside them rather than reviewing from a distance
