Accenture is a global professional services and solutions company that helps leading organizations reinvent with digital, cloud, data, and AI capabilities, drawing on its large global workforce, industry expertise, and ecosystem partnerships to create 360° value.
By combining hands-on engineering with deep industry context, we help organizations build their digital core, modernize operations, unlock value from data and AI, and deliver tangible business outcomes at speed and scale.
We are looking for a Back-End Engineer to design, build, and operate the data infrastructure and services that power our AI-driven knowledge platform. You will work across the full back-end stack — architecting APIs, building data pipelines, managing multi-modal database systems, and owning the reliability and performance of the services that application and product teams depend on. You bring strong engineering fundamentals and are equally comfortable designing a relational schema, tuning a graph query, standing up a vector store, or shipping a production-grade REST API. Knowledge graph and semantic technology experience is central to this role, but the work extends across the broader data and service layer: ingestion, transformation, storage, retrieval, and delivery at enterprise scale.
