Accenture Software&Platform Engineering team is over 1,000 people strong and provides end-to-end product engineering solutions which deliver tangible value, fast. We bring together an obsession for technical excellence with agility and scale, to help clients move from project to product at speed.

We work with clients in every sector. They range from scale-ups through to national and international blue-chip names and public sector organisations. Our teams routinely work on products that are used by millions of people.

We offer an exciting career working in a vibrant environment, with access to training and a global network of experts. As part of our Next Gen Engineering team, you’ll be working with cutting-edge technologies and will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of new skills on the job.

The role

We typically work hand-in-hand with our clients to develop new Quality Engineering strategies or improve their existing processes. To do this, we need experienced, capable

Quality 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.

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 Quality Engineering communities. There are many opportunities to get involved and help shape conversations around topics you’re interested in, share your knowledge and experience, and learn from colleagues working in very diverse problem spaces.

We are looking for experience in the following skills:

• You have a passion for improving quality, productivity and software delivery

• You’ve spent several years defining and implementing modern Quality Engineering concepts including automated testing

• You’re comfortable working in at least one object oriented programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C#,  etc)
• You have hands-on experience with GenAI, (e.g. Playwright with MCP).  Experience with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) is required, knowledge of LangChain or LangGraph, and cloud environments is a plus.

• You love working with people to build things and solve problems together in an egoless way, regardless of their level of experience or your role in the team

• You’re comfortable with change and always happy to learn something new; as consultants we flex our individual roles and tech stacks as required to get the best outcomes for our clients

What’s in it for you 

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 25 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.  

Closing date for this role is 28/02/26
