Senior Software Engineer
About the role
Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) enables businesses to deliver the right experience at the right time to their customers. The Profile Stores layer is one of the key AEP services built as a multi-cloud multi-tenant service to support thousands of customers, providing the ability to manage a high volume data pipeline and storage layer for real-time customer profiles. Customer profiles are built on complex data models spanning both record structures supporting upserts at scale as well as time-series analytics event data that is ingested at very high volumes.
