AI Native Software Engineer Senior Analyst

About the Role

Accenture Middle East is seeking an AI Native Software Engineer Senior Analyst to join their team in Riyadh, Riyadh. This full-time role involves working with enterprise clients to develop next-generation, agent-powered workflows designed for real-world scalability. The position requires 5-10 years of experience in relevant fields.

Role Overview

The AI Native Software Engineer Senior Analyst will focus on building cloud-native solutions and designing and deploying agentic systems, particularly for enterprise environments. This role requires a critical thinker capable of navigating ambiguity to deliver concrete results by designing, building, and operating AI agents that enhance workflows and scale across modern infrastructure. The individual will either lead complex agentic solutions and develop engineering talent or manage critical technical areas end-to-end as a senior individual contributor.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner directly with client stakeholders, serving as both technologist and trusted advisor.
• Define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy robust, secure, and operational agentic workflows in complex enterprise domains.
• Design and build enterprise-ready AI agents, incorporating retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
• Implement resilient, testable, and maintainable agentic workflows for rapid iteration.
• Develop and/or extend abstraction layers across AI providers (*, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) for seamless integration and multi-provider enablement.
• Contribute to shared libraries, SDKs, and patterns for client reuse.
• Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability stacks to deliver scalable AI-native systems.
• Manage deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting for services in production.
• Tailor and deploy agentic applications across various verticals (*, finance, healthcare, retail), adapting to domain-specific processes and constraints.
• Collaborate with client Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate business workflows into agentic solutions.
• Participate in and/or lead design workshops, Proofs of Concept (POCs), and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders.
• Communicate trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Define and utilize key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
• Iterate rapidly based on data, feedback, and changing requirements.
• Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices that influence internal assets and client roadmaps.
• Contribute to internal communities of practice focused on AI-native and agentic engineering.

Qualifications and Experience

• 5-10 years of experience in software engineering or a related field.
• Strong foundation in building cloud-native solutions.
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic systems, particularly for enterprise environments.
• Proficiency in leveraging containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability stacks.

Work Environment and Travel
