About the role

As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer, you will own the end-to-end development and launch of GenAI applications through Adobe and third-party generative models. You are an AI native who will embed directly into customer teams to spin up proof points in days and co-develop features that enhance customer value. If you thrive in start-up environments, scale products from prototype to production, push innovative research into real-world use cases, and own product and business outcomes, you'll fit right in here!


Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate and Innovate: Partner with technical architects, engagement managers, and product teams to define customer requirements/use cases, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create specific GenAI solutions.
  • Prototype Rapidly: Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset, build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and drive quick wins. UX/UI and rapid prototyping skills are a plus.
  • Engineer End-to-End: Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices, integrating Firefly APIs, Common Extensibility Platform, GenStudio for Performance Marketing, headless CMS architectures, and UX/UI designs.
  • Bridge to Product: Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product and Engineering, fueling the Firefly roadmap.
  • Automate and Scale: Develop reusable components, CI/CD pipelines, and governance checks to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.
  • Operate at Speed: Thrive in a constantly evolving, start-up-like environment; own delivery sprints, tackle challenges on-site/remotely, and adapt to evolving AI trends.
  • Share and Elevate: Document your playbooks, prompts, and patterns in our internal knowledge base, helping the whole organization move faster.


Requirements:

  • Full-Stack Expertise: 5+ years as a full-stack developer or technical consultant building and launching production software (React.js/Next.js/Angular; Node.js/Java Spring Boot; REST/GraphQL, HTML, JavaScript, Java, XML).
  • AI Tinkerer: AI-native tinkerer who embeds AI in your day-to-day workflows and spends your free time inventing and tinkering with the possibilities of AI. You keep ahead of market trends across third-party models, GPUs, and new AI applications.
  • Adobe Fluency: Deep understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud APIs/SDK/CEP, Firefly Services APIs, and Adobe Experience Cloud integrations (AEM, Workfront Fusion, AJO, or equivalent experience).
  • Cloud and DevOps Savvy: AWS/Azure/GCP, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.).
  • Strong communicator: You translate complex AI concepts for both engineers and executives and guide customers through technical decisions aligned to business objectives.
  • Customer-Centricity: Always prioritizing the customer and their needs and expectations first in everything you do. You are outstanding at contributing to a culture of customer-centricity among your team and your extended ecosystem.
  • Startup DNA: Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, relentlessly seeking better, faster, more innovative ways to solve customer objectives and challenges.
