Job summary

Accenture is seeking Forward Deployed AI Engineers to embed with enterprise teams and scale AI-native workflows. You will own end-to-end deployments, drive adoption, reliability, and time-to-value across complex environments, including partnerships with leading AI platforms.

This role demands strategic thinking, hands-on coding, and the ability to translate platform capabilities into measurable business outcomes in real-world settings.

Qualifications

  • 10 years engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
  • 1 year deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
  • 2 years of experience with AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models — including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
  • 10 years of experience programming in Python, Java, or equivalent; familiarity with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and agent observability.
  • 10 years of experience deploying to production — CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging.
  • 10 years of experience in client communication and collaboration, including leading technical workshops and delivering under ambiguity.
  • Bachelor's degree or 12 years work experience; AI certifications or agentic tool experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Lead enterprise AI platform deployments across complex multi-stakeholder client environments — Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, SAP, or Palantir — owning the full program from architecture through adoption.
  • Own program-level delivery outcomes: time-to-value, reliability, adoption velocity, and scalability across multiple concurrent workstreams, with commercial metrics attached.
  • Lead rapid experimentation at pace: drive ambiguous business problems to working production systems in days or weeks across complex enterprise environments.
  • Architect and govern enterprise AI solutions across the full technology stack: identity, data, security, governance, platform layer, and multi-system workflow integration at program scale.
  • Shape AI reinvention strategy for client CTO, CFO, and CISO: build value architecture, ROI backlogs, use case prioritization frameworks, and multi-year AI adoption roadmaps.
  • Define and publish reusable reinvention blueprints, patterns, and accelerators that scale across multiple client engagements and grow the FDE practice.
  • Lead architecture design sessions, executive workshops, and code-with sessions with client engineering and C-suite leadership teams.
  • Codify delivery learnings, failure patterns, and engineering standards that shape the FDE practice and enable the next generation of forward deployed engineers.
