Forward Deployed AI Engineer, Marketing Intelligence & Consumer Insights

Adobe•San Jose, CA

About The Position

The Opportunity Adobe's Growth Marketing & Insights (GMI) organization is in the middle of a ground-up reinvention of how marketing teams operate. We're no longer adding AI tools to the margins—we're rebuilding workflows from first principles, with agentic AI at the center. The Forward Deployed AI Engineer role exists to make that happen. As a member of the AI Strategy & Innovation (AISI) team, you'll be embedded with our marketing analytics and data science teams, working alongside them, learning their craft, and building tools and automations that transform the way they operate. You are both a builder and a partner who can rapidly prototype solutions and take immediate feedback to improve them. You'll also be part of the connective tissue across the AISI team. You'll share what you build, incorporate what others have built into your own work, and help to establish the playbooks and patterns that scale good ideas across all of GMI. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with marketers across every function and measure ourselves by this question: did we improve the way that someone works?
