About the job

Requirements
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience designing, deploying, and managing AI infrastructure and accelerated computing environments across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments for hyperscaler, neocloud, large enterprise, telecommunications/mobile, financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, and/or retail clients.
  • A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience with accelerated computing platforms, including GPUs, DPUs, LPUs, CPUs, high-speed interconnects such as InfiniBand or Ethernet, data center networking such as SONiC, and AI storage architectures including NVMe, NVMe over Fabrics, parallel file systems, VAST, Weka, or DDN.
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience with cluster management, workload scheduling, orchestration, observability, and infrastructure automation using platforms and tools such as Kubernetes, Slurm, Run:ai, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, VMware, Nutanix, Python, Terraform, and Ansible.
  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience (minimum 12 years) is required. An associate's degree is accepted with a minimum of 6 years of work experience.
Responsibilities
  • Design and implement AI infrastructure and accelerated computing solutions, aligning system architecture and deployment roadmaps to industry-specific performance, scalability, resiliency, and governance needs.
  • Deploy, configure, and manage XPU-based clusters (GPU, DPU, LPU, CPU) across bare-metal and containerized environments using workload schedulers (Slurm, Run:ai), Kubernetes orchestration, and container platforms to deliver scalable AI infrastructure services including Bare-Metal-as-a-Service, GPU-as-a-Service, AI-as-a-Service, Token-as-a-Service, model serving, and agentic AI frameworks.
  • Integrate AI infrastructure platforms with existing IT systems, data pipelines, security frameworks, model-serving endpoints, and enterprise governance controls.

  • Experience designing and implementing agentic AI infrastructure, including LLM inference, tool/function calling, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, secure API integration, policy-based governance, and deterministic platform APIs.
  • Experience building and integrating MCP servers, tools, connectors, and adapters that allow agents to monitor, troubleshoot, and tune infrastructure for high availability, low-latency networking, workload resiliency, and intelligent observability.
  • Experience using NVIDIA platform tools including Base Command Manager, NGC, NCCL, NVLink, CUDA, TensorRT-LLM, Triton Inference Server, NVIDIA Dynamo, llm-d, vLLM, SGLang, MLPerf, NCCL tests, fio, and iperf to deploy, tune, profile, and validate AI cluster performance.
  • Experience managing deployment of 1,000 or more GPU clusters for AI, HPC, and agentic AI workloads with infrastructure services enabled.
  • Design and build experience in AI cloud platforms from CoreWeave, Nebius, and other specialty cloud providers.
  • Knowledge of machine learning and AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, Jupyter notebooks, and Google Colab environments.
  • Industry certifications in NVIDIA infrastructure, public cloud providers, data science, infrastructure automation, networking, or security are a plus.

Accenture jumps 19% on earnings beat as SEC opens private assets to retail investors

Accenture shares rose about 19% after the consulting firm beat earnings and revenue expectations for its fiscal 2026 year, and guided fiscal 2027 slightly above Wall Street forecasts. Revenue grew 5% in local currency; management expects 3% to 6% growth next year. Non-GAAP operating margin edged up to 15.8%. The stock had dipped below 10 times expected earnings and now trades at about 14 times. Accenture said 65% of new bookings came from outcome-based fixed-price projects, which a Motley Fool contributor called a counterweight to AI's unpredictable costs. Separately, new US Securities and Exchange Commission rules aim to open private assets to retail investors. They raise the performance fee cap for registered advisers, add professional licences as a route to accredited investor status, and give private funds more leeway on redemptions.

Accenture eyes $1.5B Greater China sale while building Gemini AI launchpads for US agencies

Accenture's federal arm, Accenture Federal Services, is working with Google Public Sector on Gemini launchpads for US federal agencies. The tools aim to help agencies build generative AI models into mission workflows and internal operations. Separately, Accenture is reviewing options for its Greater China business, including a possible sale. A deal was reported at up to $1.5 billion, and the company has hired JPMorgan to explore options. Accenture, a US-based IT consulting and managed services group, has a market value of about $141.3 billion. Investors are watching for contract wins from the Gemini work and any formal update on the China review.

TÜV SÜD and Accenture unveil physical AI safety suite to bring factories online up to 30% sooner

TÜV SÜD and Accenture are working with NVIDIA technologies to speed up safety certification of robots in factories and warehouses. They unveiled a joint "Physical AI Safety Suite" at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. The suite uses digital twins, AI agents, and simulations to partly replace manual assessments. TÜV SÜD estimates the digital process could bring production online up to 30% sooner. Certification against standards such as ISO 3691-4 is mandatory in many industrial countries before automated facilities can start. At a medium-sized plant, agreeing on safety concepts can take several weeks. The suite checks layouts, robot fleets, and individual robots before deployment. TÜV SÜD provides independent assessment and keeps responsibility for certification.

Accenture caps staff AI spending at $29 a month after $1,000 bills

Accenture has capped employee AI spending at $29 (£21.75) a month after some staff ran up bills of $1,000, according to a report by 404 Media. The consulting firm wants to curb runaway costs as employees use AI for more everyday tasks. Companies are typically billed by usage, like a utility. Last week, some staff were told their access to Anthropic's Claude had been pulled entirely. Others are also reining in costs. Uber capped engineers' Claude spending at $1,500 a month after using up its AI budget in four months, while Microsoft has reportedly cut its Claude spending by about a third. The curbs come as Anthropic prepares for a public listing, targeting a valuation as high as $2tn. Investors are reportedly considering about $1.5tn.

Accenture's AI push: analysts see earnings reaching $10.3B by 2029 on 5.2% yearly revenue growth

Accenture is shifting AI work from pilots to deeply embedded systems, according to recent deals with UMass Memorial Health, Dell, Microsoft and Workday. The UMass Memorial project is a multi-year AI data platform, while the Dell alliance pitches private AI infrastructure to regulated clients. Analysts expect revenue to grow 5.2% a year over the next three years, with profit margins rising from 11.3% to 11.9%. They forecast earnings of $10.3 billion by 2029, up from $8.4 billion today, on revenue of $86.3 billion. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.2x, against 21.9x for US IT peers. Risks include slower decision cycles in federal and EMEA work, which could curb consulting demand and margins.
