We typically work hand-in-hand with our clients to build great digital products for them and for their customers. To do this, we need experienced, capable engineers who can both deploy their own mastery to get things done hands‑on and successfully lead others in doing so. The nature of our work varies from client to client so there will be lots of opportunities to experience new domains and new stacks.

This role often involves leading client accounts holistically—people, delivery, quality, and commercials. As well as ensuring we’re delivering great engineering, you’ll also keep the big picture in mind and help our clients best use the capability and flexibility of a consultancy partner to reach their goals sooner.

Our team is dedicated to applying great engineering to get great outcomes. Our engineers stand out by keeping one eye on value at all times, and by proposing thoughtful solutions that get the job done efficiently and with low complexity. You’d be a key advocate for this approach within a team.

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 are proficient in Java, with several years of hands‑on experience.
• Cloud experience, designing and delivering solutions on AWS and/or Azure.
• You enjoy collaborating in an open, egoless way and are adaptable, comfortable with change, and motivated to keep learning to deliver the best outcomes for clients.

• Proven ability to apply analytical and creative thought and translate into technical solutions.
• Proven ability to debug and resolve complex technical issues.
• Experience with building datastore solutions on at least one No‑SQL (Elasticsearch).

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 30 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.
