AI Native Software Engineering

Accenture
London

Job Description

Role Description

We are building the next generation of AI-native engineering talent engineers who use AI as a core part of how they work, not as an add-on. As an AI Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, using AI-assisted tooling as standard daily practice alongside your core engineering skills.

You will work on real clientprogramsacross industries, building production-grade software that connects to and supports agentic AI systems - understanding how your full-stack work integrates with agentarchitecture, LLM APIs, and enterprise AI pipelines. This is not a stepping-stone role: it is a core engineering function in the most in-demand part of the market, with a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineerprogramfor those who develop agentic depth.

We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level oforganizationalcomplexity - combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams, structured AI certification pathways, and a clear development track toward agentic and forward-deployed engineering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Use AI coding assistants daily as a standard part of delivery, actively,frequently, and with demonstrable impact on productivity and output quality

  • Integrate LLM APIs into applications in production: calling AI provider APIs in live code, managing token limits and latency, and building initial abstraction layers

  • Apply AI across the full software delivery lifecycle: AI-generated tests, AI-assisted debugging, AI-accelerated code review, and prompt engineering for development tasks

  • Own the quality of AI-generated outputs in your delivery scope,exercise engineering judgment about reliability, limitations, and failure modes; know when AI output is production-ready and when it is not

  • Define and track KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and ROI of AI-assisted workflows;presentAI productivity and quality metrics to project stakeholders

  • Own delivery end-to-end - from design through to production support - in Agile sprint cycles alongside client engineering teams

  • Contribute to shared knowledge bases, reusable components, and internal AI tooling standards thatbenefitthe wider team

  • Build and integrate the application layers, APIs, and interfaces that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends - understanding data flows, context handoffs, and integration points between your code and AI pipelines

Qualification

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field

  • Commercial software engineering experience in production environments (or equivalentdemonstratedthrough academic projects, internships, or shipped personal projects)

  • Proficiencyin at least one primary backend language: Python, Java, or TypeScript

  • Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI tools actively in day-to-day engineering work - with practical examples of how AI was used to solve real problems, iterate on outputs, and improve delivery; including direct experience calling LLM APIs in production code with an understanding of token management, latency, and cost tradeoffs

  • Basic understanding of web technologies including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

  • Familiarity with cloud fundamentals (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines

  • Understanding of Agile delivery fundamentals

  • Experience with databases - SQL or NoSQL

  • Ability tovalidate, evaluate, and improve AI-generated outputs; understanding of AI limitations and responsible use

  • Familiarity with agentic system concepts - awareness of orchestration frameworks (LangChain,LangGraph, or equivalent), RAG pipelines, and how full-stack applications connect to agent-basedarchitecture; production experience preferred, conceptual understandingrequired
