Job Description:

The Full Stack Software Engineer is responsible for delivering high quality, maintainable, and secure software across modern backend and frontend stacks.

This role requires strong proficiency in contemporary programming languages, including Go and TypeScript/JavaScript (or equivalent technologies), with the ability to read, write, debug, and evaluate production grade code independently. Engineers in this role use AI coding assistants as a force multiplier while retaining full ownership of all resulting code. They must be able to decompose technical work, provide clear guidance to AI tools, and rigorously validate and revise generated output. Passive prompt and accept workflows are insufficient.

A core responsibility of this role is code review and quality assurance. The engineer must be comfortable performing detailed, line by line review of both self authored and generated code, identifying defects, design issues, and unnecessary complexity. They should demonstrate practical knowledge of common software design patterns and architecture principles, including interfaces, dependency injection, factory and adapter/gateway patterns, and layered system design. They apply DRY, SOLID, and reuse first principles consistently.

This role spans full stack development: backend services, data models, APIs, and modern web front ends. The engineer must maintain clear and stable contracts between client and server, ensuring well designed interactions across the stack. Work should reflect an understanding of cloud native fundamentals, including identity and access management, storage, databases, messaging, search, and containerized services. Solutions must be built against abstractions to remain portable across cloud and on premises environments. Strong data modeling skills are required, including experience with relational databases, schema creation, and migrations. The engineer must design for multi tenant security from the outset, understanding authentication versus authorization, isolation boundaries, least privilege access, and data protection considerations.

The role also requires a commitment to continuous quality through unit, integration, and automated testing; use of linters, static analysis, and CI quality gates; and validation of changes in a running environment. Engineers are expected to adhere to established project standards in structure, naming, logging, error handling, and API design, introducing new patterns only when justified and reviewed. Effective problem solving is essential. The engineer must break large requests into verifiable increments, identify the correct system layer for each change, and communicate decisions clearly to peers and reviewers. Experience working in disconnected or constrained environments is important, including development without public internet access, use of private registries and pre approved dependencies, and deployment within isolated networks. Solutions must not rely on outbound SaaS, public container pulls, or live commercial AI services at runtime.

Here's what you need:

2+ years of experience in Java.
Experience with Go Programming Language.
Experience with Cloud Infrastructure Architecture Design.
Experience with Full Stack Development.
Experience with AI Workflow Integration or AI Assisted Development.
Experience with establishing, and adhering to, security standards.

Bonus points if you have:

Security+
TypeScript
Experience working on multi service or platform engineering teams.
Familiarity with defense, government, or other high assurance environments.
Experience with multi cloud or air gapped deployments.
Background in disconnected development using private artifact registries and cross domain or multi enclave release processes.

Security clearance:

Active TS/SCI security clearance is required.

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.

Accenture plans $9.5B shareholder returns and $5B acquisitions as it bets on AI reinvention

Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is betting on enterprise AI as its main growth engine. At its Investor and Analyst Day, the company targeted at least mid-single-digit constant-currency revenue growth in fiscal 2027 and 2028, rising to mid- to high-single-digit growth from fiscal 2029. Chief executive officer Julie Sweet said AI will create new demand that exceeds work lost to automation. The company has grown its AI and data workforce from 40,000 to nearly 110,000. Accenture plans to return $9.5 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2027 and spend about $5 billion on acquisitions. It expects annual operating-margin growth of 10 to 30 basis points. Its network of specialised businesses, now 6% of revenue, could double by fiscal 2029. Fiscal 2026 revenue was $74.2 billion, up 5% in local currency.

Accenture shares up 10.4% as dividend rises to $1.71 and AI alliances with Dell and Workday expand

Accenture shares rose 10.4% after the company reported higher sales and earnings for its fourth quarter and full year in early October 2026. It confirmed fiscal 2027 guidance, raised its quarterly dividend to $1.71 per share, and completed a long-running share repurchase program.

Accenture's narrative projects $86.3 billion in revenue and $10.3 billion in earnings by 2029, up from $8.4 billion today. Pricing pressure and slower discretionary spending remain the main risks.
