Elite full-stack engineer. Elite creative-tool expert. Elite public speaker who commands Fortune 100 boardrooms.
Read this before you apply. This role requires all of the following - at the same time, in the same person, at the hardest scale in the organization. Not three out of four.
- You ship production code every week - real, full-stack systems that run in front of real customers. Not scripts. Not prototypes that die after the demo.
- You have deep, professional-grade mastery of at least one of: Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Cinema 4D or Substance 3D - or an equivalent tool in your craft. Not familiarity. Mastery.
- You can walk into a room of CMOs and CTOs from a Fortune 100 brand - the account with the impossible timeline, the fractured stack, the deal that has to prove out the whole motion - run a live demo unscripted, and walk out with the room won.
- You've set a technical or creative direction that changed how an org works - a real "before-me / after-me," not a one-off win.
This bar has to be met on day one, not grown into. If you're most of the way there, that's genuinely great - just come back once the track record is real, not aspirational.
What you'll do This is director-scope work delivered without direct reports: you set the technical and creative direction other engineers follow, through influence, not headcount. You take the engagements no one else can land - the impossible-timeline Fortune 100 account, the fractured stack, the strategic account where the whole motion has to prove itself. You go in first, and the bench follows.
The only metric that matters here: did the customer get real value, and did they come back for more. That's the entire job - everything else is noise.
What you need - 12+ years shipping real software, full-stack, with a track record of adoption at the hardest scale - not one win, a pattern across accounts
- Deep hands-on mastery of a professional creative tool (see above) - a portfolio proving it
- Hands-on experience building multi-step automated workflows/pipelines (ComfyUI, n8n, or similar)
- A named "before-me/after-me" change you drove that others in a practice still point to
- A pattern of turning the most resistant rooms and most fractured stacks into repeat, at-scale adoption - named accounts, named outcomes
- Hard requirement: public portfolio or verifiable shipped work showing both the engineering and the creative side, personally done by you. No portfolio, no review. At this level we also weight a public technical/creative footprint heavily - talks, published work, case studies, or an equivalent trail of things you've set direction on.
Strong pluses (not required, we'll help you ramp) - Experience with Adobe Firefly Services, Firefly Creative Production / Workflow Builder, or Adobe Brand Intelligence
- Domain depth in Healthcare & Life Sciences, Financial Services, or Media & Entertainment - especially MLR (medical/legal/regulatory) compliance-review experience
