You will join an innovative and fast-paced team driven to build and expand our cloud-based data engineering and automation platform. Within Accenture, we are a high-performing, tech-focused team with a start-up-like culture — and we’re looking to expand!
We’re seeking someone with a passion for technology and at least 3 years of experience working with public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and software development, who thrives in a collaborative team environment.
What You’ll Deliver
As an engineer in Automation, you will be instrumental in developing the functionality and scalability of our Central Monitoring data platform, while also contributing to innovative automation microservices in Accenture’s GenWizard platform.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Architecting scalable serverless data solutions Refactor and modernise ETL pipelines, design cloud-native integrations, and evolve our data platform — with a focus on performance, maintainability, and cost-efficiency.
* Innovating with purpose With a start-up mindset, you’ll identify and prototype new features, tools, or architectural approaches. Our team and technology are constantly evolving — we build what best delivers value.
* Collaborating and mentoring Work closely with product owners to estimate technical effort and shape the roadmap. Guide junior engineers in their technical development and support a culture of learning and quality.
* Evaluating and communicating technology trade-offs Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various tools and clearly articulate your recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Applying cloud-native best practices Promote scalable and maintainable solutions using scripting, documentation, observability, and infrastructure design — especially with AWS-native services. If it exists in AWS, you’re free to use it.
What You’ll Bring
You’ll have 3+ years of hands-on experience in software development, with a strong emphasis on cloud technologies.
The following skills and experience will help you thrive:
* Programming & Software Engineering Strong proficiency in Python and object-oriented programming.
* Cloud & Serverless Architecture Experience building solutions with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS, Kinesis Firehose, DynamoDB, Cognito, S3, Fargate, IAM, and Managed OpenSearch.
* High Throughput & Scalability Designed systems supporting high data ingestion rates and scalable processing. Our platform ingests 2TB+ of data daily, with data volumes continuing to grow.
* DevOps & Delivery Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or similar), infrastructure automation, and cloud deployment best practices. Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as CloudFormation, CDK, or SAM is essential.
* Containers & Kubernetes (Nice to have) While primarily serverless, familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS EKS is helpful when collaborating across teams.
* Communication & Collaboration Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and foster a collaborative team culture.
* Growth Mindset & Adaptability A self-motivated approach to learning, with interest in emerging technologies like Amazon Bedrock and other evolving AWS services. You don’t need to know everything — just be curious and willing to learn.
What We Offer
We understand that experienced engineers thrive when given the space to lead, innovate, and shape the direction of technology. As a senior member of our team, you’ll have access to:
* Technical Leadership Opportunities Influence architectural decisions, guide platform evolution, and mentor other engineers as you help drive the technical strategy for key initiatives.
* Autonomy and Ownership Take end-to-end responsibility for designing and delivering solutions with the freedom to choose the best tools, approaches, and cloud-native services to get the job done.
* Complex, Impactful Work Tackle large-scale engineering problems on critical systems that support real-time automation and monitoring across Accenture’s global operations.
* Cutting-Edge Cloud Ecosystem Work hands-on with the latest in AWS serverless, event-driven architectures, and emerging technologies — including early access to services like Amazon Bedrock and AI-native tooling.
* Collaborative and High-Calibre Team Join a close-knit group of senior technologists and architects who value deep technical discussions, fast feedback loops, and a culture of continuous improvement.
* Flexible, Outcome-Focused Culture Enjoy a hybrid working model built on trust and flexibility, where delivery and impact matter more than hours at a desk.
* Career Advancement at Scale Accelerate your growth through opportunities to move into staff engineering, platform leadership, or cloud architecture roles — with support from a global organisation that invests in your success.
