Core Agent Engineer

building and shipping agentic systems: tool use, multi-step reasoning, agent orchestration frameworks, memory and context persistence, and the failure modes that emerge at each layer.

Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering tools — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar — and a track record of integrating these into real development workflows.

Enthusiasm for pushing the boundary of what AI-augmented engineering can look like at the frontier.

Full-stack engineering depth sufficient to contribute across the agent's entire surface area — including backend services, client SDKs, and platform-specific integration patterns for Adobe's target platforms.

Strong engineering craft: readable, well-structured, production-quality code; opinionated views on testing, local dev ergonomics, and the scaffolding that helps a team stay productive as a codebase grows.

Clear communication skills — able to discuss technical tradeoffs with PM leads and senior technical stakeholders, flag issues early, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.

Comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where the underlying models, frameworks, and user expectations are all rapidly evolving — strong enough foundations to move fast without building on sand.

collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, platform, and security teams in the context of shipping user-facing AI products.
