If you’re looking for a challenging career working in a vibrant environment with access to training and a global network of experts, this could be the role for you. As part of our global team, you'll be working with cutting-edge technologies and will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of new skills on the job.
The Opportunity
Are you an engineer who doesn't just write code — but thinks with AI at your side? At Accenture Technology, we're looking for curious, ambitious Software Engineers who are already using AI-enabled tooling to move faster, build smarter, and deliver more. This isn't a role where AI adoption is a future aspiration — it's the way we work today.
You'll be embedded in real client engagements across our practice — building next-generation applications where AI accelerates everything from design and development to testing and deployment. With access to Accenture's unmatched global resources, deep partnerships with the world's leading technology companies, and a culture built on continuous innovation, you'll work on challenges that are genuinely complex — and you won't face them alone. You'll be surrounded by a team of talented, passionate engineers who share knowledge openly, lift each other up, and are as invested in your growth as they are in delivering great work.
This role sits within our Health and Public Service practice, giving you the opportunity to deliver technology solutions that serve communities and make a real societal impact.
What You'll Do
We believe the best engineers own their work end-to-end — from the first line of code to live production. Here's how that breaks down:
Build
Collaborate with business stakeholders to shape requirements and translate them into clean, well-designed technical solutions
Deliver production-grade Java applications using AI-assisted development practices (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent)
Build prototypes and integrations across large complex enterprise systems
Contribute to prompt engineering and AI workflow design as part of your standard delivery practice
Own
Take accountability for live application health — leading incident response, root cause analysis, and rapid resolution
Use AI-assisted diagnostics to identify issues faster and implement robust, versioned fixes
Handle JSON/XML message manipulation and database-level troubleshooting with confidence
Evolve
Continuously improve the systems you work on — reducing technical debt, improving resilience, and raising the bar on code quality
Apply AI-enabled tooling to refactoring, test coverage, and monitoring
Stay ahead of emerging engineering practices and bring new ideas into the team
BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
4+ years' commercial experience across the full development lifecycle (design, build, test, deploy, support)
Strong Core Java development skills; experience with Spring (Boot, MVC, REST) and API Design
Strong front-end development skills; experience with Angular, HTML, CSS, Javascript
Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases; familiarity with Hibernate
Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum environments using GIT and JIRA
Active user of AI-enabled development tooling (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) — we want to hear how you're using these in your day-to-day work
Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset; comfortable with ambiguity
Clear communicator — written and verbal — with a genuine team-player attitude
AI-Enabled Skills (Essential at CL9)
Demonstrated use of LLM-based coding assistants to improve productivity, code quality, or test coverage
Familiarity with prompt engineering concepts and applying them in a development context
Awareness of AI safety and responsible AI use in a software engineering context
Experience with designing and implementing agentic workflows within the SDLC, AI-assisted debugging, or AI-enabled CI/CD pipelines
Desirable
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native development patterns
Familiarity with Kafka, Spring Batch, or event-driven architectures
Knowledge of DevSecOps or SRE practices, particularly where AI tooling has been applied
What Sets You Apart
We're especially interested in engineers who can point to specific examples of how AI tooling has changed the way they work — faster delivery, better test coverage, smarter debugging, cleaner architecture. You don't need to be an AI researcher; you need to be an engineer who has genuinely leaned in.
What's in It for You
At Accenture, you'll receive a competitive salary and an extensive benefits package. Flexible working arrangements can be discussed depending on the position.
