Full Stack AI Engineer

The Full Stack AI Engineer leads the technical delivery of agentic AI programs while remaining an active, hands-on engineer. This role bridges the gap between business problems and technical solutions - working directly with clients to understand requirements, translating them into agentic application designs, and leading a team of engineers to deliver production-grade systems that generate measurable value.

Managers on this team operate as Forward Deployed Engineers - brought into client environments to rapidly understand a business problem, design a full stack AI solution, and build it. The expectation is genuine technical depth combined with client credibility: the Manager must be as effective in a code review or design session as they are in a client workshop. They develop their team, grow client relationships, and continuously evolve their knowledge of agentic AI as the field advances.

Position Responsibilities

Technical Solution Design and Hands-On Delivery

• Architect and deliver agentic AI solutions end-to-end - agents, orchestration, tool layers, knowledge pipelines, and full stack applications - at production engineering standards, contributing directly to code and design when required.
• Design agent harnesses, orchestration topologies (supervisor/worker, event-driven, parallel), A2A coordination patterns, and LLM gateway configuration across LLM providers.
• Build and maintain MCP servers, translate business processes into agent skills and reusable workflows, and implement advanced knowledge layer components: RAG, Text-to-SQL, Elasticsearch, knowledge graphs.
• Establish prompt architecture standards - versioning, A/B testing, structured output schemas - and apply reasoning patterns (ReAct, CoT, ToT) appropriate to each agent use case.

Agentic AI Technical Delivery

• Architect and build production agentic systems hands-on - agent harnesses, orchestration topologies (supervisor/worker, event-driven, parallel), A2A coordination patterns, and LLM gateway configuration; write code, resolve complex engineering problems, and set the quality standard through personal example.
• Design and implement knowledge layer components: RAG pipelines (hybrid search, re-ranking, late chunking), MCP-connected knowledge sources, Text-to-SQL, Elasticsearch integration, and knowledge graph layers - selecting and tuning the right retrieval strategy per use case.
• Build and operate evaluation and AgentOps pipelines: golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, trajectory evaluation, agent testing suites (unit, integration, simulation), CI/CD for agents and prompts, asset registry management, production observability, and drift detection.
• Implement trust, safety, and governance components: guardrails, prompt injection defences, agent identity scoping, PII redaction, blast radius controls, HITL approval gates, and audit trail design for enterprise compliance.

Client Engagement and Business Translation

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client stakeholders - running workshops, translating business requirements into agent solution designs, and communicating technical decisions clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Develop initial value hypotheses for agentic solutions - identifying automation and augmentation opportunities, estimating business impact, and establishing baseline metrics before delivery begins.
• Contribute to solution design and proposal development; identify expansion opportunities within current engagements and support account growth.

Delivery Excellence and AgentOps

• Lead workstream delivery in agile environments - managing scope, quality, technical risk, and milestone accountability with senior stakeholder visibility.
• Establish DevOps, AgentOps, and LLMOps practices: CI/CD for agent code and prompts, automated evaluation gates, deployment strategies, agent and asset registry management, and production operations.
• Define and implement evaluation frameworks, agent testing suites, HITL feedback capture, and production observability - distributed tracing, cost tracking, latency profiling, and drift detection.
• Implement guardrails, prompt injection defences, agent identity scoping, PII redaction, and audit trail design for enterprise compliance.

Team Leadership and Development

• Lead, manage, and develop a team of Consultants and Analysts - setting clear expectations, providing technical coaching, and running structured code reviews and design sessions.
• Foster a delivery culture of engineering rigour, continuous improvement, and learning - supporting team members in building agentic AI depth through challenging work and active knowledge sharing.

Innovation and Continuous Learning

• Maintain current, hands-on knowledge of agentic AI developments - testing new frameworks, tooling, and research; bringing relevant advances into the team's engineering practice.
• Contribute to internal practice development: reusable accelerators, reference implementations, and delivery standards that improve capability across Accenture's AI practice.

• Building LLM-based applications in production - with operational accountability for deployed systems.

• D esigning and delivering agentic AI systems - agents operating with meaningful autonomy in real production environments.

• Hands-on experience with at least one agent orchestration framework (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, AWS Strands, or equivalent) in production.

• Demonstrated experience across the Agent Development Lifecycle: specification, harness build, tool and MCP integration, evaluation, deployment, observability, and refinement.

• Proven track record deploying software systems in production with measurable results - reliability, performance, or business value outcomes.

• Experience with knowledge layer engineering: RAG pipelines, MCP-connected sources, Text-to-SQL, Elasticsearch, and knowledge graph design.

• AI/ML, data engineering, or advanced analytics - integrating intelligent systems into production software.

• full stack engineering: Python and a frontend framework (React, Angular, or Node.js); active, hands-on capability across the stack.

• cloud-native development on AWS, Azure, or GCP - CI/CD, containerised workloads, infrastructure as code, and production operations.

• Experience on complex digital transformation programmes - enterprise-scale, multi-workstream, client-facing delivery.

• Experience engaging directly with client stakeholders - translating business requirements to technical solutions.

• Bachelor's degree in a related field. A Master's degree is highly valued.
