As a team: Accenture S&PE Engineering is over 1,000 people strong and provides end-to-end product engineering solutions which deliver tangible value, fast. We bring together an obsession for technical excellence with agility and scale, to help clients move from project to product at speed. We work with clients in every sector. They range from scale-ups through to national and international blue-chip names and public sector organisations. Our teams routinely work on products that are used by millions of people. We offer an exciting career working in a vibrant environment, with access to training and a global network of experts.

In our team you will:

• Work hand-in-hand with our clients to build great digital products for them and for their customers.
• Deploy your own mastery to get things done hands-on and successfully lead others in doing so.
• Experience new domains and new stacks.
• Apply great engineering to get great outcomes.
• Propose thoughtful solutions that get the job done efficiently and with low complexity.
• Contribute to our internal and regional engineering communities.

AI: You’ll be expected to responsibly adopt AI‑assisted engineering practices—such as GitHub Copilot, GitLab Duo, and similar tools—for code generation, testing, documentation, and analysis, while understanding model limitations, protecting client data, and improving delivery quality and speed through pragmatic automation.

SRE & Observability: You’ll bring a reliability mindset to delivery, designing services that are operable by default and measured through meaningful SLIs/SLOs. You’ll help teams implement pragmatic observability—logging, metrics, and distributed tracing—with actionable alerting, and you’ll contribute to (or lead) incident response and post-incident reviews that drive learning and measurable improvements.

Job qualifications: We are looking for experience in the following skills:

• Strong experience with the AWS cloud platform and core services.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (build, deployment, and operational support in production).
• Proven use of Infrastructure as Code, ideally with AWS CDK.
• Working knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and management.
• Experience with the Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) within Agile/DevOps teams.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automation, and DevOps best practices.

What’s in it for you: At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 25 days’ vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice! Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first-class services we are known for.
