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!
The Opportunity
Adobe Developer Platforms has the mission to help Developers "write better software, faster." Our goal is to provide integrated experiences for technical folks, to streamline the tasks of building, testing, deploying and operating services at scale. We strive to build into all our product offerings strong defaults around security, cost efficiency, reliability and operational observability, to minimize the cognitive load and toil needed to effectively build and run services at web scale.
We build platforms and work to deliver them as an integrated product to our customers, who come in two main classes:
For this role, we are looking for someone to lead the infrastructure engineering effort for Adobe's Developer Platforms team. We seek a self-starter who will drive projects to achieve results and meaningful outcomes. You should be respected as a thought leader, able to influence, persuade and direct sound technical and architectural choices across many teams. You will need to demonstrate executive presence, represent technical direction and architectures to everyone from new grads to C-level executives and do more than talk - you will build and own critical services and deliver them to production. This is an operations-heavy role - your team will manage a significant subset of all compute infrastructure at Adobe and the leader will need significant operational experience in a high-scale, cloud-based, high-reliability, and always-on operational environment.
What you'll Do
