The Opportunity

Join the Gen AI Experiences team at Adobe Experience Platform, crafting modern cloud-native services.

This role combines hands-on software development with architectural leadership. You will collaborate with global engineering, product, and AI/ML teams to deliver scalable systems that bring the power of Generative AI to marketing, analytics, and personalization use cases.

What You'll Do

• Architect, design, and develop highly scalable, low-latency microservices and APIs in Java to support AI-powered experiences.

• Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to design and integrate AI/ML model orchestration and inference workflows.

• Drive system design, architecture reviews, and performance optimization across distributed systems.

• Partner with product management and UX teams to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.

• Build cloud-native services using containerized and event-driven architectures (Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Pub/Sub).

• Implement guidelines for observability, reliability, and performance in production environments.

• Mentor engineers, foster technical excellence, and contribute to architectural blueprints and design documentation.

• Ensure security, compliance, and maintainability of all deployed services.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

• 10+ years of experience designing and developing large-scale distributed systems using Java and Spring Boot (or equivalent frameworks).

• Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and performance engineering.

• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, monitoring, automation).

• Experience with microservices, API design (REST/gRPC), and data persistence (SQL, NoSQL).

• Exposure to AI/ML systems integration, model serving, or workflow orchestration.

• Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.

• Ability to work collaboratively in a global, multi-functional environment.

• Passion for innovation and a desire to shape how Generative AI transforms digital experiences.
