You optimize the computational stack for performance, cost, power, and scalability, monitor AI systems and infrastructure health across both InfraOps and MLOps disciplines, perform AI monitoring to track model and system performance, and independently troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across the stack. You also mentor junior engineers, contribute to architectural decisions, and help establish best practices. This is a hands‑on, ownership‑driven role where you apply and deepen your expertise across modern tools and platforms – including container orchestration, model serving, CI/CD pipelines, InfraOps, MLOps, and AI monitoring – while making meaningful contributions to infrastructure that enables AI‑driven business outcomes.

• Evaluate and select tools, frameworks, and platforms, making recommendations that shape the infrastructure roadmap.
• Integrate AI models and systems into existing enterprise systems, ensuring interoperability, security, and regulatory compliance.
• Own AI monitoring and infrastructure health across InfraOps and MLOps, tracking performance, reliability, and utilization, and driving remediation.
• Independently troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across the computational stack – hardware, networking, software, and models – and lead root‑cause analysis.
• Mentor junior engineers and lead code reviews, providing technical direction and supporting their growth.
• Define and document architecture standards, processes, and procedures, and apply security, cost‑efficiency, and scalability best practices across the infrastructure.

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related Engineering field.

• Experienced with coding, building, monitoring, troubleshooting applications of AI/ML models; selecting, designing, and building infrastructure for deploying and running them on premise or on public cloud.
• Strong understanding of AI and machine learning as a subject.
• Strong understanding of computing infrastructure, preferably with knowledge of AI infrastructure.
• Proficient in programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++.

Senior Consulting Engineer - Forward Deployed Associate Manager (Palantir)

London

Competitive salary and package dependent on experience

Associate Manager

Accenture Palantir Business Group (APBG) is a deep data and AI group founded on an innate desire to create real-world change. We are consulting engineers with a purpose, offering a ‘boots on the ground’ approach to complex public and private sector challenges. As a trusted Palantir partner we help our clients to extract the most value from their technology. We are working at the cutting edge of Palantir technology and harnessing its capabilities with purpose. Our teams are united in their mission to be drivers of positive change in the world’s most influential organisations. This includes strengthening our advantage in the defence, infrastructure and public safety – empowering more public and private institutions to unlock their full potential.

As a Senior Consulting Engineer - Forward Deployed Associate Manager, you will operate with high individual ownership. You’ll design solutions that unify complex data landscapes, build workflows that drive smarter decisions, and partner with organisations to deliver sustainable transformation. Working directly with your clients, you will be the face of AOBG, requiring a unique blend of technical mastery and high emotional intelligence (EQ) to navigate complex environments. You will have creative freedom to architect solutions, working iteratively to build fast, show your work to clients and refine it based on real-time feedback.

• End-to-End Delivery: Take significant individual ownership of client problems, handling everything from deep data engineering knowing that may require low/no code Palantir Foundry tooling, or Python and PySpark code repos – to building user-facing front-end applications and widgets in TypeScript or REACT.
• Client Advisory & Translation: Sit directly alongside clients, distinguish their goals and requirements and translate complex technical language into stakeholder appropriate communication.
• AI Integration: Actively embed AI workflows into existing applications using cutting‑edge tools like AIP Logic Functions, AIP Analysts, and AIFDE.
• APBG/Decho Labs Innovation: Contribute to build tangible internal products. Feed your deployment learnings back into the company so our teams learn from your success and we create compounding assets of value for internally and for our clients.
• Innate Collaboration: Responsible for self‑assignment of taskings, actively participate in our ‘show and tell’ culture through teachbacks and tech reviews and uplift your peers through our highly active internal support channels.

• Problem Solvers: We highly value individuals who can navigate nuanced client environments. We care more about your ability to decompose complex use cases and architect solutions than rote memorising of coding syntax.
• Fluency in core languages (Python, SQL, TypeScript and/or REACT) and the capability to pick up others quickly. You should understand data engineering principles, ETL pipelines, and application development.
• Familiarity with Palantir (Foundry, Gotham, or similar) is preferred but not mandatory provided you have a strong willingness to learn.
• High EQ & Curiosity: The emotional intelligence to manage client expectations, a proactive self‑starting nature and the humility to know you don't know everything and search for and accept help.
• Impact-Driven Communication: The ability to present impressive demos, simplify complexity for non‑technical users and focus on delivering genuine client impact.

We foster an open, low‑ego culture built on merit, where professional strides are formalised through weekly all‑company sessions. All levels of our business are highly visible and accessible to everyone. We have a vibrant engineering community that connects through regular socials and interest‑based Slack communities, creating opportunities to learn from one another and share what we love outside of work.

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first‑class services we are known for.
