The Opportunity

Adobe’s Security Partnership Product Engineering (SPPE) team is hiring a mid-level engineer to build the AI-powered platforms that help secure our products. The team’s tools include a threat modeling capability that delivers analysis in seconds and a new feature that surfaces risk hotspots across Adobe’s product portfolio. You will design AI-driven features, partner with security and engineering teams Adobe-wide, and make risk-based decisions that balance security with engineering velocity. This role is based in New York City, San Jose, or Seattle.

What You’ll Do

  • Build security analysis capabilities using LLM integrations with Azure OpenAI, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and vector-based context retrieval.

  • Develop and maintain platforms end to end using React, Python FastAPI, Celery, Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes with Argo.

  • Evaluate LLM and retrieval outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability for internal users.

  • Address AI-specific risks like prompt injection, data exposure, and output manipulation.

  • Make architecture decisions for new security capabilities, balancing performance, scalability, maintainability, and responsible AI use.

  • Identify security gaps with internal users and propose features to close them.

  • Partner with security and product teams to translate their needs into scalable features.

  • Use AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to move faster without compromising code quality.
