If you are excited about combining AI, platform engineering, and developer productivity at scale - we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement AI-powered developer productivity solutions and workflows that improve developer onboarding, development, code review, testing, debugging, incident triage, documentation, code quality, and engineering velocity.
• Build and enhance large-scale developer platforms, including Bazel-based build systems, CI/CD pipelines, test automation frameworks, and engineering productivity tooling.
• Partner with product engineering teams to understand developer pain points, identify productivity bottlenecks, and deliver solutions that improve developer experience, engineering efficiency, and platform reliability.
• Develop high-performance, reliable, well-tested, and well-documented platform and infrastructure code that enables Adobe engineers to build, test, and deploy applications at scale.
• Mentor engineers, contribute to engineering best practices, and foster a collaborative environment focused on continuous learning and innovation.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building scalable applications, developer platforms, tooling, or infrastructure.
• Demonstrated experience building, integrating, or operating AI-powered systems that improve software engineering workflows, including developer tooling, code review, testing, debugging, CI/CD automation, incident triage, or other engineering productivity use cases.
• Experience working in large-scale monorepo environments, including build systems, dependency management, developer tooling, CI/CD workflows, and engineering productivity challenges at scale.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, data structures, algorithms, debugging, performance optimization, and reliability engineering.
• Experience working in large-scale engineering environments and collaborating across teams to deliver technical solutions.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions and drive initiatives forward.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI-powered developer productivity solutions such as intelligent code review, CI/CD triage, test generation, debugging assistants, engineering copilots, workflow automation, or other AI-enabled engineering tools.
• Experience with agentic AI systems, AI orchestration frameworks, evaluation methodologies, and techniques for improving the reliability and effectiveness of AI-assisted engineering workflows.
• Deep experience with Bazel, including build optimization, dependency management, remote caching, custom build tooling, and developer workflow automation.
• Experience developing developer tooling and automation using TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, or C++.
• Experience with CI/CD platforms, build orchestration, merge queues, flaky test detection, release automation, and engineering productivity tooling.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud infrastructure, and platform automation.
• Familiarity with observability and operational tooling, including OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Splunk, or similar technologies.
• Experience measuring and improving developer productivity through metrics-driven DevEx initiatives.

What Sets You Apart

• You are passionate about applying AI to improve how software is designed, built, tested, and operated.
• You enjoy building tools and systems that help other engineers move faster and more effectively.
• You can contribute at both the implementation and design levels, balancing technical quality with practical business needs.
• You proactively identify opportunities for improvement and drive them to completion.
• You treat developers as customers and seek to improve their daily experience through thoughtful tooling and automation.
