60 Adobe Senior Web Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

The Opportunity
Typography is central to how ideas are communicated. If you're passionate about beautifully created design, have deep curiosity about what AI can do, and take personal responsibility for creating products that people love; then this may be the role for you. Adobe Fonts supports millions of creatives in choosing and using typefaces across fonts.adobe.com, Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and more Creative Cloud platforms. Our Internal Services team provides the platform engineering and deployment backbone for all of these. We manage CI/CD, deployment approaches, the services and data layers our engineers depend on, our observability and security stance, and increasingly the agentic tools that transform how our entire organization delivers software.
We're seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to lead this exciting journey in our San Francisco location.
What you'll do

• Own and evolve our deployment platform. Lead strategy for CI/CD, PR environments, and release safety across a mixed fleet that includes containerized services, serverless services, and static front ends.
• Build the foundation for AI-accelerated development. Help build our agent factory and grow our internal agentic toolkit and skill library.
• Ship inference applications at scale. Take greenfield services from spec to production and standardize our ML/inference footprint.
• Modernize our services for the AI era. Identify where an existing service is held back by its current build and lead the fix.
• Rethink our security posture for agentic threats. Lead how we secure autonomous agents and their tool use.
• Expose Adobe Fonts to the agentic ecosystem. Extend our Model Context Protocol (MCP) surface and conversational, intent-based font discovery.
• Work higher up the stack, too. Contribute directly to search, browse, discovery, and the customer-facing experiences our platform powers.
• Hold ownership over what you deliver to production, encompassing on-call support, incident management, and the reliability of the services and pipelines that the entire organization depends upon.
• Set technical direction and multiply the team. Write the development docs, run the technical reviews, and mentor engineers.

What we're looking for
Software engineering

• Deep full-stack fundamentals and craft - build, testing, code quality, code review - plus system development and production maturity: latency, scale, reliability, observability, and on-call ownership.
• Ships and owns services end to end, and reasons fluently across the whole stack: front end (JavaScript/TypeScript, React or Web Components), application services (Ruby/Rails, Python, Go, and comfort picking up others), and the SRE/config/hardware layer beneath (Terraform, Chef, Kubernetes/Helm, AWS).

Platform & deployment depth

• Strong CI/CD ownership (Jenkins or equivalent), containerization and orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, and AWS (EC2/ASG, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront). Experience making deployment fast, safe, and self-service - ephemeral/preview environments, progressive delivery, rollback strategy.
• Solid grasp of the data and messaging layers behind real services, including relational, caching, search, and event-driven/pub-sub. You know how to run migrations and upgrades without downtime.

AI/agentic proficiency

• Hands-on understanding of building AI-enabled systems: agent runtimes, tool calling, MCP, LLM/inference serving, and the infrastructure around them - evaluation, feedback loops, observability, and sandboxed execution.
• A security outlook for this new surface - you think about how agentic systems fail and get abused, and proactively build guardrails accordingly.

Leadership & scope

• Track record of delivering high-impact platform work used across multiple teams, leading complex cross-team technical efforts, and balancing near-term delivery with long-term maintainability, security, and operability.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Typically 12+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated senior-level impact.

Nice to have

• Ruby on Rails at scale, and experience decomposing or modernizing a large monolith.
• GPU/model-serving infrastructure and low-latency inference (e.g. SageMaker, Kubernetes GPU platforms); search-engine internals (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, vector/hybrid search).
• Experience building developer platforms, internal tooling, or agent harnesses adopted by other teams.
• Event-driven architectures and secrets-management platforms (Vault, CyberArk).
• Front-end depth with modern component systems (Web Components/Lit, React/TypeScript, build systems).
