About The Position

At Adobe, this mission goes beyond external products to include empowering our teams with intuitive digital tools. These tools unlock insights, encourage collaboration, and drive innovation internally. We are seeking a dedicated Front End UI/UX Engineer to develop and improve our internal advanced analytics and critical metric platform. This important platform provides real-time insights, customizable dashboards, interactive visualizations, and easy-to-use reporting. It supports data-informed decisions and helps many teams at Adobe transform data into creative, actionable results. As a key contributor to the front-end layer (built entirely in Vue.js), you'll combine strong UI engineering skills with a deep focus on UX principles. You will craft performant, accessible, and delightful user experiences for complex, data-heavy applications. The ideal candidate thrives in a modern development workflow that uses AI-powered coding assistants to speed up delivery while maintaining outstanding code quality. This approach helps Adobe deliver the same high standard internally that we bring to creators and brands worldwide.

Requirements

4+ years of professional experience in front-end development, with at least 2–3 years passionate about Vue.js (Vue 3 preferred).
Consistent experience applying AI-powered coding aids like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude (Claude Code / Claude.dev) to boost coding, debugging, refactoring, and learning during real-world projects.
Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3 (including responsive build, flexbox/grid, animations/transitions).
Solid understanding of UI/UX principles and experience turning designer-provided assets (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.) into production-ready code.
Experience building data-rich applications, dashboards, or analytics tools (e.g., benchmark tracking, metrics visualization, filtering/sorting, export features).
Familiarity with state management solutions (Pinia, Vuex) and Vue Router.
Knowledge of front-end build tools (Vite, Vue CLI), testing frameworks (Vitest, Cypress, Jest), and version control (Git).
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail are required when working with complex user flows and large-scale data presentation. You must also be able to evaluate and improve AI-suggested code for correctness, performance, and maintainability.

Nice To Haves

Experience with data visualization libraries (Chart.js, ApexCharts, D3.js, etc.) and handling real-time or near-real-time data updates.
Understanding of REST/GraphQL APIs and WebSocket integration for live benchmark feeds.
Familiarity with accessibility auditing tools and inclusive building practices.
Previous work on internal enterprise tools or B2E (business-to-employee) platforms.
Exposure to building systems or component libraries (Vuetify, Element Plus, PrimeVue, or custom).
Proficiency with multiple AI coding tools is required. For example, combining Cursor for multi-file edits with Claude for deep reasoning or Copilot for inline completions. You should also know how to integrate these tools into team workflows.

Responsibilities

Build, develop, and maintain responsive, high-performance user interfaces for the critical metric platform using Vue.js (including Composition API, Options API, and modern Vue ecosystem tools).
Collaborate closely with product managers, UX/UI designers, data analysts, and backend engineers to translate business requirements, wireframes, and prototypes into polished, intuitive features.
Build reusable Vue components, composables, and compose system elements that ensure consistency across dashboards, charts, filters, drill-down views, and reporting interfaces.
Implement interactive data visualizations (using libraries such as Chart.js, D3.js, Vue Chartjs, or similar) while optimizing for large datasets and real-time updates.
Ensure outstanding user experience through thoughtful information architecture, interaction composition, accessibility (WCAG standards), and usability testing/iteration.
Optimize front-end performance, including bundle size, rendering efficiency, lazy loading, and smooth handling of complex state in data-intensive applications.
Participate in code reviews, contribute to front-end architecture decisions, and help maintain high code quality through testing (unit, component, E2E).
Leverage AI coding assistants daily to boost productivity—generating boilerplate, refactoring components, exploring implementations, and iterating on complex logic—while critically reviewing and refining AI-generated output.
Stay updated on advancements in the Vue.js ecosystem, modern CSS guidelines (Tailwind, CSS modules, etc.), emerging UI/UX procedures for analytics tools, and evolving AI-assisted development workflows.
