Accenture

Junior AI Native Engineer

London, United Kingdom Full Time

Role Description

We are building the next generation of AI-native engineering talent engineers who use AI as a core part of how they work, not as an add-on. As an AI Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, using AI-assisted tooling as standard daily practice alongside your core engineering skills.

You will work on real client programs across industries, building production-grade software that connects to and supports agentic AI systems - understanding how your full-stack work integrates with agent architecture, LLM APIs, and enterprise AI pipelines. This is not a stepping-stone role: it is a core engineering function in the most in-demand part of the market, with a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineer program for those who develop agentic depth.

We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity - combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams, structured AI certification pathways, and a clear development track toward agentic and forward-deployed engineering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Use AI coding assistants daily as a standard part of delivery, actively, frequently, and with demonstrable impact on productivity and output quality


  • Integrate LLM APIs into applications in production: calling AI provider APIs in live code, managing token limits and latency, and building initial abstraction layers


  • Apply AI across the full software delivery lifecycle: AI-generated tests, AI-assisted debugging, AI-accelerated code review, and prompt engineering for development tasks


  • Own the quality of AI-generated outputs in your delivery scope, exercise engineering judgment about reliability, limitations, and failure modes; know when AI output is production-ready and when it is not


  • Define and track KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and ROI of AI-assisted workflows; present AI productivity and quality metrics to project stakeholders


  • Own delivery end-to-end - from design through to production support - in Agile sprint cycles alongside client engineering teams


  • Contribute to shared knowledge bases, reusable components, and internal AI tooling standards that benefit the wider team


  • Build and integrate the application layers, APIs, and interfaces that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends - understanding data flows, context handoffs, and integration points between your code and AI pipelines
