Job description
from Adobe careersThe Opportunity
We're seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to lead the Agent Platform work for Firefly Boards. Boards is bringing agentic AI to the infinite canvas, and this role owns the engineering systems that make that work production-grade: the server-side agent runtime, the integration with Adobe's central agent platform, and the application stack that lets the agent act on the canvas alongside human users in real time. You'll partner closely with the agentic team that owns the intelligence side of the product (skills, model selection, agent quality), with a deliberate split of responsibilities. They define what the agent does and how well it does it. You define the systems it runs on.
Firefly Boards is an AI-powered mood-boarding and ideation app that provides a non-linear infinite canvas. It enables a new generation of creatives to embrace generative AI and those who find the linear workflows of legacy software restrictive. Images and videos can be imported or generated using AI models and edited, remixed, iterated on, and organized flexibly, making it easier for artists to visualize and develop ideas on their own or in collaboration.
What You'll Do
This role has three primary areas of ownership and several secondary responsibilities. The work spans the full stack — server-side runtime, web client, and the cross-team architecture that ties them together.
