About The Position

Accenture is recognized as a global leader in AI and cloud transformation, helping businesses across industries migrate, manage, and optimize their cloud environments. Through partnerships with leading cloud providers such as Nvidia, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, Accenture offers end-to-end services that drive innovation and business agility. The Cloud Advisory Practice focuses on helping organizations define, plan, and implement innovative AI and cloud strategies that drive business value. Leveraging deep expertise across cloud platforms and technologies, this practice works collaboratively with clients to design scalable, secure, and resilient cloud environments. The practice offers guidance in key areas such as agentic AI infrastructure & hosting, modern cloud foundation, security and resiliency, full-stack FinOps, and cloud-native development approaches, ensuring that clients achieve agility, operational efficiency, and long-term growth. By aligning AI and cloud initiatives with business goals, the practice helps organizations realize the full potential of cloud innovation while navigating industry-specific challenges and regulations. We are combining Product, technology, industry expertise, and entrepreneurial experience to massively disrupt our clients’ core businesses. We partner with our clients to propel them into the future and to help create better products and experiences for everyone. The work will not always be linear or well defined. Adopting new ways of working—particularly as tools and practices continue to evolve—can be uncomfortable at times. We are looking for individuals who are comfortable operating in that space, who are curious, adaptable, and willing to help shape how teams build products as the landscape changes. Our Cloud Strategy team is made up of experienced professionals who bridge the divide between product and technology. We create space for our clients to collaborate, transform and grow while maintaining a focus on delivering business value through technology driven products. In this role, you will partner closely with clients to design, build, release, and evolve software products and digital experiences. You will operate at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and product design—helping translate strategic intent into solutions that can be built, scaled, and sustained. As a Product Engineer, you will bring modern, AI-enabled approaches into the way products are conceived and delivered. This includes applying these tools and techniques across product discovery and solutioning, technical event storming, requirements definition, design, and software development. AI is part of how we work to accelerate learning, improve quality, and evolve products over time, not a separate specialty or isolated phase. You will act as a connective voice between business needs, technical architecture, and the creative elements that make products usable and competitive. Leveraging established playbooks for domain modeling, detailed design and specification, and continuous delivery, you will help teams navigate ambiguity and turn complex problems into clear, actionable solutions. You will collaborate with other Accenture practitioners to build and lead cross-functional teams, experiment thoughtfully, and deliver innovative solutions that meet real business needs.
