Senior Engineer, AI Edge

Adobe•San Jose, CA

2d•$139,000 - $257,550

About The Position

The Opportunity Adobe’s AI Edge team builds foundational capabilities for the next generation of creative agents. We work ahead of the production roadmap. We turn promising but unreliable AI workflows into practical technology. This technology will support products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Express, and Firefly. You will join a small, fast paced team whose members bring a diverse mix of AI, systems, product, and prototyping skills. You will explore new ideas, build working prototypes, evaluate what works, and partner with product teams to carry successful experiments forward. This is a role for someone who enjoys ambiguity, learns quickly, and loves making emerging technology tangible.

Requirements

Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building and shipping real systems.
Hands-on experience with LLM-powered applications or agentic systems, such as tool calling, orchestration, retrieval, model APIs, or evaluation.
The ability to turn an ambiguous idea into a working prototype quickly and improve it through feedback.
Comfort working across different parts of a system rather than staying within a narrow specialty.
Clear communication, sound technical judgment, curiosity, and a practical approach to experimentation.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field or specific skills such as agent frameworks, distributed systems, or creative tools.

Responsibilities

Prototype agentic AI capabilities for creative workflows, from early concept through technical validation.
Build components for agent planning, tool use, orchestration, streaming, state management, and evaluation.
Build reusable platform interfaces that can work across different Adobe products and creative surfaces.
Turn new capabilities into focused, credible prototypes that help teams test assumptions and make decisions quickly.
Measure quality and reliability, so we can distinguish a compelling demo from a capability ready for broader investment.
Collaborate with engineers, applied scientists, designers, researchers, and product managers, then help production teams adopt the ideas that prove valuable.
