About the role

Join a fast-paced, 0-to-1 intrapreneurial team within Adobe Firefly Foundry, working directly with enterprise customers to scope and identify deep-tuning AI services. You will collaborate closely with Adobe's platform, security, engineering, product, and program management organizations.

Responsibilities

  • Act like a product manager for the customer. Understand what they need, think about how to improve the product, and bring that perspective back inside consistently.
  • Immerse yourself fully in client workflows. Step into the role of the designer, the marketer, the filmmaker and produce the outputs.
  • Don't just evaluate — use the tools deeply enough to hit real friction, anticipate needs, surface edge cases, and find the errors.
  • Prototype quickly. Code quickly to drive alignment internally and with customers, then harden experiences with quality engineering practices for Adobe's client platforms.
  • Participate and guide discovery workshops. Identify high-value use cases, define and scope technical architectures, and translate customer needs into credible, impact-focused solutions.
  • Create compelling technical demos. Ideate next-generation creative workflows using Adobe APIs, Firefly Services, Creative Cloud, and AI capabilities — then script, produce, and deliver the demos yourself.
  • Represent Adobe as required at industry events, advisory boards, and executive forums.
  • Partner with internal engineering and research teams. Imagine and build with existing and emerging technologies, including generative AI models, LLMs, and modern web infrastructure.
  • Influence Adobe's product roadmap. Bring real market signal back inside from customers, partners, and the field.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of professional experience building and deploying web applications or interactive experiences, preferably in the creative tools domain.
  • Deep familiarity with enterprise creative production workflows across M&E, brand, and agency environments — including image, video, audio, motion, and experiential content pipelines.
  • Full-stack development proficiency: JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, HTML, CSS on the front end; Python, Java, Go, or C++ on the back end.
  • API tooling, low-code connectors, and AWS or Azure deployments a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with Adobe Creative Cloud applications and the ability to produce and edit your own demos using Premiere Pro, Photoshop, AEM, Workfront, Frame.io, and Express.
  • Exposure to generative AI models, text-to-image systems, and LLMs.
  • Familiarity with WASM, WebGPU, or canvas rendering a bonus.
  • Analytical and strategic problem solver with strong executive presence and the communication skills to make complex technical ideas land in a boardroom.
  • Customer-obsessed, detail-oriented, and biased toward action.
  • You solve complex problems independently and drive tangible results in a team-oriented culture.
  • High EQ, low ego, extreme ownership mentality, and genuine curiosity about what comes next.
  • Flexibility to travel across the continental US and internationally.

Qualifications

  • BS or higher in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
