Senior Software Quality Engineer
About the role
Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We give everyone — from emerging artists to global brands — everything they need to build and deliver outstanding digital experiences. Our team is developing a new-generation, AI-first web application in an emerging field. This is a new product we are building from scratch, and quality engineering is a core founding-team focus. We seek a Senior Software Quality Engineer eager to establish standards for a modern web product.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end quality strategy for a new AI-first web application, spanning the prompt and agent layer, the in-browser experience, and the generated output.
- Create, build, and maintain modern web test automation (Playwright / Cypress, TypeScript/JavaScript) and the underlying infrastructure that keeps it fast, deterministic, and developer-friendly.
- Stand up evaluation harnesses for automated workflows: golden prompt suites, regression baselines, model/version comparisons, hallucination and safety checks, and human-in-the-loop review pipelines.
- Ensure comprehensive quality for a real-time web product — performance, resilience, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser/cross-device coverage.
- Embed quality into CI/CD: build release gates that catch real regressions, reduce flake, and turn production telemetry into pre-submit signal.
- Work closely with engineering, product, and design to build testability into the process early.
- Guide engineers on test strategy, automation patterns, and adopting a shift-left outlook.
What you'll need to succeed
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field.
- 8+ years of experience in customer-facing software quality / SDET positions.
- Automation experience with modern web frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar) and strong coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript; comfort with Python is a plus.
- Experience designing test strategy for AI / ML / LLM-powered features — prompt regression, evaluation datasets, model drift, timely-injection and safety testing, or equivalent.
- Strong fundamentals in API testing, performance and load testing, and observability tooling (Datadog, Splunk, Sentry, OpenTelemetry, or similar).
- Excellent collaboration and communication; able to influence engineers and PMs early in the build cycle.
- Embrace generative and AI-assisted development workflows, and be eager to learn and adapt as the tooling continues to evolve.
- Thrive in a fast-paced, agile, founding-team environment with real ambiguity.
- Prior experience with creative tools, design-to-code, browser-based graphics (Canvas/WebGL), or real-time collaboration stacks.
