What would you do?
- You will be part of the Technology for Operations team that acts as a trusted advisor and partner to Accenture Operations.
- The team provides innovative and secure technologies to help clients build an intelligent operating model, driving exceptional results.
- We work closely with the sales, offering and delivery teams to identify and build innovative solutions.
- We are looking for a hands-on Quality Engineering Manager to lead engineering teams delivering high quality reliable AI-augmented applications across complex cloud-native environments.
This is a leadership role for a mature practitioner who is equally comfortable architecting a test strategy coaching senior engineers and standing in front of a client leadership team to make the case for change.
- AI is fundamentally ch • Must-have
- Deep hands-on experience in functional integration end-to-end and non functional testing across multi system distributed cloud-native applications.
- Practical experience applying GenAI to testing LLM-driven test case generation self-healing scripts synthetic test data visual and AI based regression and defect clustering. Comfortable with prompt engineering as a testing skill.
- Working knowledge of agentic AI
What are we looking for?
- Primary skill - Functional Test Planning - P5 • Secondary skill - Test Management - P5
Roles and Responsibilities
- Lead modern quality engineering delivery
- Lead and actively contribute to functional integration end to end performance and resilience testing across distributed cloud-native and AI-enabled systems.
- Own the end to end quality strategy for multiple concurrent workstreams from requirements review and test architecture through release readiness and production quality signals.
- Stay hands on where it matters most:
code review of critical automation root cause analysis of complex defects and design of the hardest test scenarios.
- Drive AI-native automation and agentic testing
- Champion adoption of GenAI assisted test authoring LLM based test case generation from user stories and acceptance criteria AI-generated synthetic test data visual regression and self-healing UI automation.
- Introduce agentic testing patterns autonomous agents that plan generate execute and analyze tests; multi-agent orchestration across the SDLC and transparent guardrails for what agents decide versus what humans approve.
- Establish human in the loop review gates so AI-generated tests are curated by experienced engineers before they become part of the trusted suite capturing the productivity gains without inheriting hallucinated or low-value coverage.
- Modernize automation frameworks (Playwright Cypress Selenium Appium REST-assured Pact k6 and Gatling) and integrate them into CI and CD pipelines with quality gates that support continuous shift left and shift right testing.
- Test agentic and GenAI-powered solutions
- Define test strategies for AI-native features where behaviour is non-deterministic identifying what to assert how to handle variability across runs and where human judgement must remain in the evaluation loop.
- Design test coverage for agentic workflows and multi-step AI interactions including task completion tool invocation accuracy decision branching and failure and fallback behaviour across agent chains.
- Establish regression and monitoring approaches
