Engineering Lead

Engineering Lead     Role level   Experienced       Engineer ing Lead   @The Dock     About The Dock   The Dock is Accenture's flagship R&D and Global Innovation   Center , based in Dublin's Grand Canal Dock. As an incubation hub for the next generation of AI and GenAI agentic solutions, we bring together a global community of business strategists, designers, engineers, data scientists, and entrepreneurs to solve some of the world's hardest problems and build products and services that help industries adapt to rapid change.    Our teams   operate   across the full innovation spectrum — from early exploration through to real-world deployment — working in tight, multidisciplinary pods that turn ideas into things clients can   actually use .

As an   Engineering Lead , you will   own and deliver engineering workstreams   end ‑ to ‑ end , from early technical discovery through to implementation and handover. You will   operate   in an   innovation ‑ driven   environment where requirements may be incomplete and timelines constrained; the expectation is that you bring structure, make   trade ‑ offs , and deliver working software with a clear path to   deployment   and   ongoing   support.     This is a   hands ‑ on   engineering role.   Success is not just writing   code, but   delivering working solutions   end ‑ to ‑ end . You will drive delivery by personally owning significant parts of the implementation, shaping scope and approach in collaboration with peers, and ensuring solutions can be deployed,   operated , and evolved.     You   wi ll work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product partners to turn requirements into AI-enabled capabilities embedded in real products. You   wi ll stay current on AI tooling ,   but apply it with the judgement of an engineer, not the enthusiasm of an early adopter. That means balancing   what's   fast to build against what the team (or client) will have to   maintain   six months later.   You will also contribute to team capability through code reviews, pairing, shared patterns and standards, and practical improvements to how the team builds and ships software.   Desired Skills & Experience     5–8 years’ experience   as a software engineer delivering production ‑ grade systems.   Proven experience   owning and delivering technical workstreams end ‑ to ‑ end , from early solution design through   implementation and handover.   Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, APIs, data management, testing, and code quality.   Hands ‑ on experience   building and integrating AI ‑ enabled capabilities   into products or platforms (application and integration focused, not research).   Demonstrated ability to   operate   effectively in   ambiguous problem spaces , translating evolving requirements into clear technical approaches.   Experience across the   full software development lifecycle , including operational and support considerations.   Familiarity with   cloud ‑ native environments   and modern delivery tooling (CI/CD pipelines, containers, managed services).   Proven ability to make and clearly explain   engineering trade ‑ offs   across speed, quality, scalability, security, and cost.   Experience shaping technical approaches with awareness of   delivery cost, sustainability, and downstream effort .   Strong experience working in   cross ‑ functional   teams , partnering with product, design, data science, and commercial colleagues.   Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to   non ‑ technical   stakeholders .   T ak es   on   technical ownership and   decision ‑ making   while   remaining   a   hands ‑ on   technology contributor.     Extras   We’d   Love to See   Experience delivering work in an   innovation ‑ led , consulting, or product incubation environment .   Strong solution
