About the Role: Building the Future in the Age of Agents

Join the elite technical and product engine of the Accenture Google Business Group (AGBG).

You Are:

A passionate, hands-on GCP specialist/practitioner who understands that great software is not just about elegant code, but about solving real problems leveraging the best technology tools available for a client. You are as comfortable building a multi-agent workflow on Vertex AI as you are testing a solution built by other team members in a compressed timeline, leveraging the various tools and technologies of Google Cloud.

• Product-Led Project delivery: Act as an agile SME/coach on modern software development. Guide and enable the delivery team on the principles of the Product Agile Operating Model and how to structure delivery sprints for continuous delivery using Google Cloud Technologies.
