Senior Identity Security Architect — Agentic Platform

Accenture; Hartford (CT); On-site; USD 120,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer for the Agentic Identity Platform. This technical leadership role involves reading, reviewing, and making design calls about systems in client environments.

You’ll collaborate with client teams, own architecture decisions, and determine build-vs-buy strategies, sometimes prototyping against emerging standards. You’ll be in rooms with client principal engineers, setting direction and ensuring robust engineering depth.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 8 years of professional experience building and shipping production software.
• 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 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.

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.
