Senior Full-Stack Engineer - AI (Level 4)

Our Company

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 design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We're passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.

We're on a mission to hire the very best and are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours!

We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help build and evolve Journey
Agents within Adobe Journey Optimizer (AJO). Journey Agents power AI-assisted journey orchestration that enables brands to deliver personalized, real-time customer experiences across channels.

This is a backend-leaning full-stack role focused on building agent execution,
orchestration, and observability capabilities, while also contributing to user-
facing experiences that make agent behavior understandable, explainable, and
trustworthy. You'll collaborate closely with AI teams, product managers, and
other AJO engineering teams to bring agent concepts into production-ready
systems.

Journey Agents are central to Adobe's vision for intelligent, AI-driven customer
journeys. In this role, you'll help shape how agents collaborate, reason, and act
- while ensuring these systems are reliable, observable, and usable in
production. Your work will directly influence how customers build and trust AI-assisted journeys at scale, bridging the gap between emerging agent capabilities and enterprise-grade delivery.

What You'll Do

• Build backend services that power Journey Agent orchestration, analysis and execution.
• Implement AI agent workflows, including agent-to-agent coordination tool invocation, MCP server interactions, and gRPC / REST / GraphQL APIs.
• Develop full-stack features, including React-based UIs that expose agent observations, recommendations, and diagnostics.
• Ensure production readiness through testing, monitoring, and performance awareness.
• Contribute to design and code reviews to continuously improve the quality, reliability, and maintainability of agent systems.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field, with 5+ years of experience building and operating production software systems.
• Strong backend development skills in Java/Scala, Node.js, or Python, with solid full-stack experience using React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience designing and implementing gRPC, REST, and GraphQL APIs, and integrating services across complex service ecosystems.
• Familiarity with AI agent systems, including orchestrated agent workflows, agent-to-agent (A2A) communication, tool-calling patterns, and MCP protocol-based architectures.
• Practical experience with SQL and NoSQL data stores, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
