The Opportunity

Adobe Developer Platform AI Foundations team has the mission to "make software development more joyful, creative, and impactful through AI." Our goal is to revolutionize how developers build software by using emerging AI technologies. We strive to create intelligent tools and platforms that enhance developer productivity, creativity, and problem-solving capabilities while maintaining high standards for code quality, security, and reliability.

We build developer tools and platforms for two main audiences:

Internal Adobe developers and engineers who build our products, platforms, and systems, helping them leverage AI to accelerate development, improve code quality, and automate routine tasks. External developers who integrate with Adobe's products and platforms, enabling them to build more sophisticated solutions with AI assistance.

For this role, we are looking for an AI Engineer to drive the development of our Adobe Developer AI Assistant. We seek an innovative problem-solver who can bridge the gap between traditional software engineering and boldly reimagine it with modern AI technologies.

• Design short-term and long-term agent memory systems.
• Mentor other software developers on the team.
• Work effectively in a deep flow-state environment with minimal meeting interruptions.

What you'll Need to Succeed

• High level of curiosity and first principles thinking to reimagine software development without being constrained by historical conventions.
• Deep understanding of LLM technologies and their practical applications in software development.
• Strong developer empathy and understanding of developer workflows.
• Ability to move fast and thrive in an ambiguous, ever-changing environment.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience in building production-grade applications.
• Understanding of LLM prompt engineering principles and fine-tuning techniques.
• Excellent communication skills to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
