Adobe•San Jose, CA

46d

About The Position

This role involves architecting and delivering highly-performant, scalable UI systems for mass-market, technology-based applications. The engineer will develop component-based architectures using React, TypeScript, and Adobe build system patterns like React Spectrum. Key responsibilities include building reusable UI components, driving UI/UX alignment, integrating complex RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints, and collaborating with backend teams on API contracts for GenAI use cases. The role also requires owning large-scale implementation plans, implementing modern testing strategies, mentoring junior engineers, and influencing architectural decisions and long-term UI strategy.

Requirements

5 - 7+ years of professional experience developing sophisticated, high-performance web applications.
Expert-level proficiency with React, TypeScript, JavaScript, and modern front-end architecture.
Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON integration patterns, and multi-endpoint data.
Familiarity with building systems (React Spectrum or equivalent), state management tools, and component library development.
Strong communication skills and ability to drive alignment across engineering, build, and product partners.
Experience with GraphQL, API schema design, or backend collaboration patterns.
Knowledge of cloud deployment strategies, CI/CD pipelines, web performance tooling, and large-scale system optimization.
Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, UX patterns shaped by AI technology, or applied AI in interactive experiences.

Responsibilities

Architect and deliver highly-performant, scalable UI systems that support mass-market, technology-based applications.
Develop component-based architectures using React, TypeScript, and Adobe build system patterns such as React Spectrum.
Build reusable, extensible UI components and frameworks that support rapid iteration across multiple GenAI surfaces.
Drive cross-functional UI/UX alignment through collaboration with development, product, and platform architects.
Integrate complex RESTful APIs (and emerging GraphQL endpoints) into elegant, resilient front-end interfaces.
Collaborate with backend teams to define, validate, and improve API contracts that support real-time and scale-critical GenAI use cases.
Own large-scale implementation plans, ensuring high-quality, maintainable TypeScript code.
Implement modern testing strategies including unit, integration, and E2E testing (e.g., Jest, Playwright, Cypress).
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; raise the technical bar through guidelines and code quality leadership.
Influence architectural decisions and contribute significantly to build proposals, standards, and long-term UI strategy.
Lead cross-team technical discussions, serve as a role model for collaboration, inclusion, and engineering excellence.
