This is an excellent opportunity to build a rewarding career – with excellent benefits – at Accenture Technology.  

This position entails a deep technical background in the design and custom development of modern distributed applications. As companies migrate off legacy systems, it is imperative for this individual to understand how a company is technically positioned and how to position that company for the future through application modernization and greenfield custom development on-prem or any of the major cloud providers.

  • Design distributed cloud native applications based on the twelve-factors methodology

  • 2 years of experience with domain-driven design and Kubernetes.
