About Accenture's Oracle Business Group AI Center of Excellence

Accenture's Oracle Business Group AI Center of Excellence is a highly active enterprise AI innovation environment within the Oracle ecosystem. We focus on building real products that drive successful deals and operate in production, such as a knowledge platform spanning 27 Oracle knowledge servers and over 980,000 documents. We operate with the agility of a startup within a global platform and are experiencing rapid scaling. This is a founding team opportunity, where the initial hires will significantly influence the culture, systems, and overall trajectory of our work.

You Are

You are an AI builder who takes initiative and has reshaped your workflow around AI agents. You are not just an adopter but a shipper of agentic systems, deeply familiar with the Anthropic ecosystem, and quick to test new research papers or open-source repositories. You possess a strong instinct for transforming cutting-edge AI into commercial value. You are equally adept at navigating technical deep-dives and engaging in client conversations, and your background could be in engineering, consulting, product, or pre-sales. What truly matters is your ability to build functional solutions and articulate their significance.

The Work

  • Contribute to the Knowledge Repository, a multi-tenant enterprise knowledge platform built on Oracle 23ai, designed to power intelligent search and document retrieval at scale.
  • Build and extend MCP server infrastructure, our federated Model Context Protocol network across Oracle product lines, including the development of retrieval pipelines and evaluation frameworks.
  • Accelerate AI-assisted sales pursuits by enabling sales teams to win faster with AI-generated content, live demo agents, and intelligent presentation assets.
  • Serve as an Anthropic / AI coding agent SME for both internal teams and client-facing engagements.
  • Partner with solution architects, sales, and delivery teams to embed AI across the Accenture-Oracle alliance.

Travel may be required for this role, ranging from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here's What You Need

  • Minimum of 5 years experience in software engineering, AI/ML, or enterprise technology.
  • Minimum of 1 year of experience with hybrid retrieval systems (vector search, knowledge graphs, or structured search pipelines) and a solid understanding of context engineering as the layer that ensures agent reliability.
  • Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems (Claude/Anthropic, or equivalent).
  • Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, agentic harness frameworks, or tool-use orchestration.
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks or quality gates for AI system output.
  • Proven ability to translate complex AI concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years' work experience). If Associate’s Degree, must have equivalent minimum 6-year work experience.

Bonus Points If

  • You have functional Oracle knowledge (EPM, ERP, or OCI).
  • You have experience with agentic harness frameworks.
  • You have a pre-sales, sales solutioning, or client-facing delivery background.
  • You have startup, entrepreneurial, design or product-led environment experience.
  • You have consulting or professional services background in large-scale digital transformation.
