Accenture – Application Support Engineer

Job Description

Accenture is hiring an Application Support Engineer for its Mumbai team to help maintain, troubleshoot, and support critical business applications and software systems. The position is suitable for candidates with 0–2 years of experience who have a strong foundation in Python programming and an interest in application troubleshooting and technology operations. In this role, the selected candidate will investigate software-related problems across different application components, identify potential causes, and contribute to restoring stable system performance. The position requires a proactive approach to problem solving, attention to technical details, and the ability to understand how different components of a business application work together. Candidates will also work with team members and other technical groups to investigate incidents, share findings, and contribute to the reliable functioning of essential business systems.

As an Application Support Engineer, the candidate will participate in technical problem-solving activities and collaborate with cross-functional teams when application issues require deeper investigation. The role involves using Python, debugging techniques, troubleshooting methods, and application monitoring practices to understand unexpected system behavior and support appropriate resolutions. Engineers will document technical findings, troubleshooting steps, and successful solutions so that similar incidents can be handled more efficiently in the future. The position also provides opportunities to contribute to system performance monitoring and identify areas where application stability or operational efficiency can be improved. While Python is the primary required skill, exposure to Generative AI and AI & Data Solution Architecture can provide an additional advantage for candidates interested in emerging technologies and modern approaches to enterprise application support.

This opportunity can provide early-career professionals with valuable exposure to application support, software troubleshooting, Python development, debugging, incident analysis, system performance, and enterprise technology operations. The role encourages continuous learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing within the technical team. Candidates may also assist other team members by sharing troubleshooting insights and helping resolve commonly occurring application issues. Strong communication skills are important because engineers need to explain technical findings clearly and coordinate effectively with different teams. With experience across critical business systems and modern technology environments, this position can serve as a strong starting point for professionals looking to build careers in application support, software engineering, Python development, production support, or technology operations.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Investigate application and software issues across multiple components of critical business systems, working methodically to understand symptoms and identify possible causes.
• Use Python programming and technical troubleshooting techniques to support investigation of application behavior and contribute to effective issue resolution.
• Participate in problem-solving discussions with team members and contribute technical observations, possible solutions, and recommendations during incident analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional technical teams to escalate, investigate, and resolve application issues within expected timelines and established support processes.
• Analyze application behavior using debugging techniques and available technical tools to identify errors, unexpected results, performance concerns, or other system abnormalities.
• Document troubleshooting findings, root-cause observations, solutions, and relevant technical information to improve team knowledge and future incident resolution.
• Assist in monitoring application and system performance, identifying unusual behavior or potential improvement areas that may affect stability and operational efficiency.
• Build knowledge of business applications, technical processes, support procedures, and relevant technologies while contributing effectively to the wider project team.
• Share technical insights with junior or less experienced team members and provide guidance on common application issues and troubleshooting approaches when required.
• Maintain clear communication with technical and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring application issues and their potential impact are explained accurately.
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities by identifying recurring problems, inefficient support processes, or opportunities to improve application reliability.
• Follow established technical, security, documentation, and support practices while working with enterprise applications and business-critical systems.

Requirements & Eligibility

• Candidates should have 0–2 years of professional experience in application support, software development, production support, technical support, or a related technology role.
• A minimum of 15 years of full-time formal education is required for this position.
• Strong working knowledge of Python programming is the primary technical requirement and should include a clear understanding of programming fundamentals.
• Candidates should possess good problem-solving skills and be capable of logically analyzing software issues to identify probable causes and appropriate troubleshooting approaches.
• Familiarity with software debugging techniques and debugging tools is desirable for investigating application behavior and understanding technical errors.
• Candidates should have an interest in application support and enterprise software environments, including the processes involved in maintaining reliable business applications.
• Good communication skills are essential, particularly the ability to explain technical information, findings, and solutions clearly to team members and other stakeholders.
• The ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams is important because application incidents may require coordination between development, infrastructure, data, and other technical groups.
• Candidates should demonstrate attention to detail when investigating technical problems and documenting troubleshooting activities, findings, and solutions.
• A proactive attitude toward learning, knowledge sharing, and improving technical capabilities is expected from candidates entering or developing their careers in application support.
• Exposure to Generative AI can be an additional advantage, particularly for candidates interested in applying emerging AI technologies to enterprise software and technology solutions.
• Knowledge or exposure to AI & Data Solution Architecture is considered a good-to-have skill and may benefit candidates working toward broader technology engineering responsibilities.
