Job description
from Adobe careersThe Opportunity
Are you enthusiastic about exploring new frontiers in AI powered experiences? The Gen AI Experience team is looking for a Staff Software Engineer (P50) to help build the next generation of AI-first products. You will combine strong backend engineering skills with a good understanding of AI/ML techniques, enabling seamless integration of AI systems into scalable, production-ready experiences. This role sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and applied AI, with a heavy focus on integrating with (and creating) AI driven services.
Impact you’ll make
You thrive in the boundaries, delivering elegant solutions end-to-end. You’re excited to push the boundaries of AI-powered software and can help us get it done –whether that means polishing front-end components and building back-end services. Our aim is high – we will change our customers' interactions with Adobe Experience Cloud and allow them to do things they never thought were possible.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement AI-centric backend and mid-tier services in a distributed services environment.
Integrate and build systems and models crafted by our machine learning and data science teams.
Architect high-performance, low-latency, and fault-tolerant software solutions.
Build and maintain microservices that integrate AI features into end-to-end workflows.
Work directly with AI APIs, prompt engineering techniques, and orchestration layers to bring intelligence into Adobe’s products.
