It is not a project delivery role. It is not a research position. A Forward Deployed AI Engineer is a production engineer who works embedded inside a client's enterprise, shoulder to shoulder with their teams, to make complex AI platforms work in real, messy organizational environments. You own outcomes: time-to-value, adoption, reliability, and scalability. Not delivery milestones. Outcomes.\nThe market is beginning to understand what leading technology companies have demonstrated: AI products fail not because the models are weak but because deployment is broken. The gap between a successful AI pilot and an AI capability that scales is bridged by engineers who can translate platform capability into measurable business value inside a real enterprise environment. That is this role. Forward Deployed AI Engineers form the execution spine of our Reinvention Deployment Engineering pods. We are building the largest FDE capability in the services industry. The engineers who join at this stage will define what the role looks like at scale and will have access to the hardest enterprise AI problems in the market across every industry.\nKey Responsibilities\nLead enterprise AI platform deployments across complex multi-stakeholder client environments - Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, SAP, or Palantir - owning the full programme from architecture through adoption\nOwn programme-level delivery outcomes: time-to-value, reliability, adoption velocity, and scalability across multiple concurrent workstreams, with commercial metrics attached\nLead rapid experimentation at pace: drive ambiguous business problems to working production systems in days or weeks across complex enterprise environments\nArchitect and govern enterprise AI solutions across the full technology stack: identity, data, security, governance, platform layer, and multi-system workflow integration at programme scale\nShape AI reinvention strategy for client CTO, CFO, and CISO: build value architecture, ROI backlogs, use case prioritization frameworks, and multi-year AI adoption roadmaps\nDefine and publish reusable reinvention blueprints, patterns, and accelerators that scale across multiple client engagements and grow the FDE practice\nLead architecture design sessions, executive workshops, and code-with sessions with client engineering and C-suite leadership teams\nCodify delivery learnings, failure patterns, and engineering standards that shape the FDE practice and enable the next generation of forward deployed engineers\nBasic Qualifications\nRequired qualifications\nBachelor’s degree or college diploma in a related field.\nMinimum of 7 years of engineering experience with cloud-native systems, including APIs, microservices, containerization, and serverless architectures\nMinimum of 1 year of experience designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments\nMinimum of 7 years of experience with AI platforms (OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, or open-source models), including building abstraction layers for multi-provider pipelines\nMinimum of 7 years of experience leading software engineering teams, including delivery oversight, resource allocation, and professional development of direct reports\nDemonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership in a client-embedded environment\nExperience leading enterprise AI deployments across multi-stakeholder environments\nExperience managing and developing engineering teams, including performance management and development planning\nExperience working with enterprise AI platforms such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, SAP, or Palantir\nExperience defining enterprise AI architecture across identity, data, security, governance, and multi-system integrations\nExperience working directly with senior stakeholders (CTO, CFO, CISO) on AI strategy and investment decisions\nExperience leading executive workshops, architecture design sessions, or cross-functional technical engagements\n#LI-NA-FY25 and #LI-MP\nCompensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location,\nrole, skill set, and level of experience.
