Smaller groups
SAP engineers. Accenture runs one of the largest SAP practices in the world, and the postings follow. SAP engineers set up and extend a company's core system for orders, stock, purchasing and accounts, and move clients onto its newest version, S/4HANA. The postings require SAP and ABAP, with HANA, Fiori and SAPUI5 for the screens, Core Data Services for the data, and the BTP Integration Suite for connecting SAP to everything else. Many name a functional area as well, Materials Management and warehouse management above all, so a good share of these roles want someone who knows how purchasing and stock work, not only the code. Some SAP postings also name Salesforce's clouds or Oracle's integration service beside SAP, because a client's SAP rarely stands alone.
Workday, Oracle and other business-suite developers. The second-largest role is the same kind of work on other suites. Where a suite is named, Workday, the HR and finance system, leads by a distance, with its integration tools and Workday Studio, and Oracle's systems and Salesforce's clouds follow. But most of these postings name no suite at all. They ask for developers who build on a client's business systems in Java and Spring Boot or .NET with SQL, enterprise application work done in code. This role is several times its weight in the rest of the services world, and it has grown faster than any other at Accenture.
GenAI engineers. Every client wants AI inside the systems Accenture builds and runs, and Accenture hires GenAI engineers at a little above the rate of the rest of the services world. Most of these roles are about putting language models inside existing applications rather than building AI products from scratch. The postings require Python above all, with TypeScript and Spring Boot for the application around the model, React, Angular or Vue.js for its screens, and LangChain, Semantic Kernel or LlamaIndex for the model work. GenAI is the most senior-leaning large role here, and its share of openings roughly doubled between April to June and July to September 2026.
Java backend and full-stack engineers. Java is a much smaller part of Accenture's hiring than of the rest of the services world. What there is splits evenly between backend and full-stack work and leans to the front end. The postings require Spring Boot, with React, Angular and, unusually often, Vue.js, which barely appears elsewhere in services. A notable share also require experience of building with language models.
Salesforce engineers. Salesforce is the third packaged platform here, at several times its weight in the rest of the services world. The postings require Lightning Web Components above all, with Apex and the Sales and Service Clouds, and OmniStudio, Salesforce's tool for guided customer journeys in banking and insurance. More of this work sits in Delhi NCR than any other role at Accenture.
Generalist software engineers. A large group of postings describe general development work rather than one stack. Some ask for Python and Git with testing and project methods; some lean to building applications, in Java, JavaScript or C#; some lean to infrastructure, in Python and SQL. Together they are a bigger role at Accenture than in the rest of the services world, and far bigger than at product companies. They are the roles a firm of this size staffs onto many different client accounts.
Data engineers. Data engineering is a little below its weight in the rest of the services world. The postings require Python and SQL with ETL and data pipelines, on Databricks, Snowflake and Azure, the platforms on which large clients now keep their data.
Integration developers. Connecting a client's systems to one another, so that an order taken in one appears in the next, is a role of its own here, above its services weight. The postings require Oracle Integration Cloud, MuleSoft and Boomi, the platforms that pass data between applications, with Salesforce's clouds on the other end of many connections.
Cloud and DevOps engineers. A far smaller role than in the rest of the services world, where running clients' cloud platforms is a large business. The postings require Python, AWS, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes and Terraform, and many add monitoring tools such as Splunk, Grafana and Datadog. This is the role that takes juniors most readily at Accenture.
.NET engineers. Below their weight in the rest of the services world, and almost entirely full-stack, with React, Angular and Vue.js on top of C# and ASP.NET Core and GraphQL between them. A large share of these postings also require experience of building with language models, the highest share of any role here outside GenAI itself.
ServiceNow engineers. Accenture builds and runs IT service desks on ServiceNow for its clients, and ServiceNow engineers appear above their weight in the rest of the services world. The postings require the ServiceNow platform and its IT service management module, with JavaScript, IntegrationHub and Flow Designer.
Low-code platform developers. Pega, Microsoft's Power Apps and Power Automate, and Appian appear at about their services weight. These developers build workflow and case-handling applications by configuring a platform rather than writing a system from scratch.
Test engineers. A small fraction of their weight across the rest of the services world. The postings require Java with Selenium and Playwright, Cucumber, JMeter for performance, Appium for mobile and Tricentis Tosca, a commercial testing tool common in SAP programmes.
Frontend, full-stack and mobile engineers. Frontend engineers work in React and Angular with an emphasis on responsive design, component architecture and state management. Full-stack engineers hired for the build rather than one language appear above their services weight, mostly React over SQL. Mobile engineers are Android first, in Kotlin with MVVM and Jetpack, with iOS and cross-platform work behind; on Accenture's volume this means more mobile openings than in the rest of the services world together.
Smaller groups. Several small roles are distinctive. Adobe Experience Manager developers build large corporate websites on Adobe's content platform. Power BI developers build reports and dashboards. Mainframe engineers keep banks' and insurers' oldest systems running in COBOL, JCL and AS/400. Embedded engineers work on car software, where the postings require AUTOSAR, CAN bus and the car industry's safety and process standards, ISO 26262 and ASPICE. Fintech software engineers, introduced as Software Engineer, Fintech, work for bank and insurer clients, a part of them on Guidewire, the insurance platform, and Finacle, the core banking system; the rest are generalist software engineers placed with a client's industry.
Rare here. Python backend engineers, JavaScript and Node engineers, ML engineers, security software engineers, C/C++ systems engineers and chip designers barely appear.
Where the work is
Accenture's hiring is spread across Indian cities far more evenly than the rest of the services world, where Bengaluru holds most of the work. Bengaluru still leads, but Pune and Hyderabad are close behind and level with each other, followed by Chennai and Delhi NCR, then the Mumbai region.
The roles sort by city. Hyderabad is the first city for SAP and for GenAI, with Pune second for SAP. Delhi NCR is unusually strong for Salesforce and for Workday, Oracle and the other business suites. Bengaluru leads for Java, data engineering, integration and the generalist roles.
