Generative AI Applications Engineer; Agents & RAG

At Accenture Federal Services, nothing matters more than helping the US federal government make the nation stronger and safer and life better for people.

Our 13,000+ people are united in a shared purpose to pursue the limitless potential of technology and ingenuity for clients across defense, national security, public safety, civilian, and military health organizations.

Join Accenture Federal Services, a technology company within global Accenture. Recognized as a Glassdoor Top 100 Best Place to Work, we offer a collaborative and caring community where you feel like you belong and are empowered to grow, learn and thrive through hands‑on experience, certifications, industry training and more.

We ship production GenAI apps for confidential federal programs across defense, national security, public safety, civilian, and military health where reliability, privacy, and safety aren’t optional. AFS is a technology company within global Accenture and a Glassdoor Top 100 Best Place to Work. You’ll join a collaborative, inclusive community with handson growth, certifications, and industry training. We ship in weeks, not quarters, and measure success with latency, reliability, safety, and cost.

We don’t disclose program details publicly. If you advance, we’ll share specifics during the process.

You’ll turn mission needs into secure, reliable, and scalable GenAI applications no model training required. This is a hands‑on role across agentic workflows, RAG, prompt/policy design, LLM evaluation, and platform integration. You’ll own the end‑to‑end path from use case evaluation → production deployment → operational excellence, partnering with product, security, data, and SRE to ship features safely and at scale.

• Design & ship mission grade GenAI:
  Build agentic workflows and RAG systems tailored to mission data and environments; target low hallucination, tight p95 latency, and predictable cost.
• Agent frameworks & orchestration:
  Apply patterns from Lang Chain/Llama Index/Semantic Kernel; design task decomposition, tool use, guardrails, and recovery/fallback strategies.
• Platform integration (no model training):
  Implement with AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Amazon Kendra, and managed services (e.g., Document AI, Gemini, Gemma).
• LLM selection & evaluation:
  Compare models for quality, safety, latency, cost; author/test prompts & policies; deploy with observability and safe rollback/fallback.
• RAG done right:
  Build retrieval pipelines & vector search (Pinecone, Weaviate, Open Search, pgvector, FAISS/Chroma); handle data prep, chunking, metadata, and IRstyle evals (e.g., NDCG) to maximize signal to noise.
• Production rigor:
  Instrument metrics/logs/traces; run A/B experiments; maintain incident playbooks; and implement safety & compliance guardrails.
• SRE & Fin Ops for AI:
  Define SLIs/SLOs (quality/latency/safety/cost), run on call and postmortems, reduce MTTR; meter usage and optimize token/spend.
• Reusable platform components:
  Ship SDKs, CI/CD templates, Terraform/IaC modules, evaluation harnesses that accelerate multiple mission team not one‑off projects.
• Operate in real world constraints:
  Deliver into hybrid, restricted, or air gapped environments with Zero Trust principles and audit ready controls.

• Built and deployed a production GenAI application (chatbot, copilot, assistant, or enterprise AI).
• Hands‑on with LLMs GPT, Claude, Llama, Gemini, Mistral, via APIs or self‑hosted.
• Designed and implemented RAG solutions using embeddings, vector databases, and semantic search for enterprise or mission data.
• Shipped AI applications with frameworks like Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Llama Index, Semantic Kernel,…
