The Opportunity

Adobe Express Data Platform is the intelligence backbone for millions of creators- a billion-event-per-day system spanning streaming, feature serving, agent data APIs, and a lakehouse that powers every personalization decision, experiment, and AI workflow. We are evolving it into a streaming-first, self-healing, agent-ready Lakehouse and we need engineers who challenge the status quo, move fast, and default to an agentic-first approach for every problem they encounter.

This is a systems-first engineering role. You won’t build ML models, you’ll build the foundational infrastructure that makes AI, analytics, and autonomous agents possible at scale. You’ll bring the conviction that any manual, repetitive, or slow platform workflow is a candidate for agentic automation and the engineering skill to make that real.

We are tackling hard, consequential problems: collapsing multi-hour pipeline latency to real-time, building MCP-compatible agent data APIs so autonomous AI systems can query and reason over platform data, evolving our ML Attribute Store with low-latency online feature serving, and pioneering AI-powered data governance that replaces manual operational toil with self-healing pipelines. Our team’s motto is simple: make the platform simpler, faster, and more reliable. Shipping fast isn’t reckless here - it’s a discipline.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build streaming-first data pipelines that collapse end-to-end latency from hours to minutes, through event-driven architectures.
