About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer to join the Adobe Express Mobile App team. We're looking for outstanding Android engineers with a passion for making creative tools that impact people’s lives and a keen curiosity for how agentic tools will transform how we develop software. This role involves designing and implementing major user-facing features, building intelligent agents to analyze performance and stability metrics, and enhancing the mobile app experience. You will also use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools to accelerate delivery, define quality planning for the entire app lifecycle, and collaborate with Product Management and Designers to define the product roadmap and assess new technologies.

Requirements

3+ years of shipping software development experience, including commercial mobile applications developed using Kotlin or Swift
Experience with TypeScript or Javascript development
Driven to achieve objectives, with a keenness for picking up new technologies and adjusting promptly to evolving needs and surroundings
Comfortable in a fast-paced environment, taking on multiple roles with autonomy and ownership
Strong grasp of architectural patterns (MVC, MVVM), design patterns, and object-oriented programming
Proven track record investigating complex, hard-to-reproduce issues in shipping software
Experience with multi-threading programming and memory management
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation testing frameworks

Nice To Haves

Experience with hybrid web/native app development
Familiarity with Lit, MobX, Web Components, and modern browser-based tech stack
Experience working on mobile web apps, especially in resource-constrained environments

Responsibilities

Design and implement major user-facing features in Kotlin or Swift, and sometimes Typescript in our hybrid web/native application stack
Build intelligent agents that instrument code and analyze hard to pin down performance and stability metrics — spotting trends and anomalies a human would need days to surface.
Make the mobile app experience sing with features not achievable in the web stack alone.
Use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools to accelerate delivery: steer agents, critically review and validate generated output, and refactor into maintainable, production-quality code — without lowering the bar on craft.
Define quality planning for the entire app lifecycle, not just before release.
Collaborate with Product Management and Designers to define the product roadmap and assess new technologies.
