Job description
- Design and build enterprise-ready AI agents incorporating retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
- Implement resilient, testable, and maintainable agentic workflows that can be iterated on quickly.
AI Platform Integration
- Develop and/or extend abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and multi-provider enablement.
- Contribute to shared libraries, SDKs, and patterns that can be reused across clients.
Cloud-Native Engineering
- Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability stacks to deliver scalable AI-native systems.
- Own deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting for your services in production.
Domain-Specific Workflows
- Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals (e.g., finance, healthcare, retail), adapting to domain-specific processes and constraints.
- Work closely with client SMEs to translate business workflows into agentic solutions.
Client Engagement
- Participate in and/or lead design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.
- Communicate trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Measure & Improve
- Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.
- Iterate rapidly based on data, feedback, and changing requirements.
Knowledge Sharing
- Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices that influence internal assets and client roadmaps.
- Contribute to internal communities of practice around AI-native and agentic engineering., Accenture is committed to providing equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities or religious observances, including reasonable accommodation when needed. If you are hired by Accenture and require accommodation to perform the essential functions of your role, you will be asked to participate in our reasonable accommodation process.
