About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Principal Software Engineer to join the new Project Graph team at Adobe.
Project Graph is a new creative system that lets you combine first and third-party AI models, Adobe tools, and custom interactive components inside a visual, designer-friendly node graph editor. Connect a library of tactile, interactive components that bring creative control of AI back to your fingertips. Transform ideas into powerful workflows and modular tools that run anywhere, from the web to Adobe apps like Photoshop.

Customer Focus: Work closely with product managers and customer-facing teams to understand user needs and translate them into robust technical solutions.
What You Need To Succeed
Education: BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field.
Experience: 10+ years of experience building, testing and operating complex web applications, focused on the Frontend. Experience with node-based systems and enterprise software development is a strong plus.
Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of modern software development practices.
