“Across the globe, one thing is universally true of the people of Accenture: We care deeply about what we do and the impact we have with our clients and with the communities in which we work and live.

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.

They range from scale-ups through to national and international blue-chip names and public sector organisations. We offer an exciting career working in a vibrant environment, with access to training and a global network of experts. We typically work hand-in-hand with our clients to build great digital products for them and for their customers.

Beyond client work, our engineers are essential contributors to our internal and regional engineering communities. There’s loads of scope to get involved and help shape conversations around tech you’re interested in, share your knowledge and experience, and learn from colleagues working in very diverse problem spaces.

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.

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.

Strong understanding of cloud platforms (preferably AWS/ Azure) and platform core services.

Strong hands-on experience in DevSecOps engineering, supporting cloud-native platforms at scale.

Experience with observability and monitoring tools, particularly Dynatrace (or similar tools), including alerting, dashboards, and root-cause analysis.

Exposure to AIOps practices, leveraging automation and intelligence for proactive issue detection and incident reduction.

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!
