The Opportunity

The Design Prototyping Team drives the development of novel and innovative user experiences across all of Adobe’s products. We help designers explore user experiences for features, or assist in the product discovery phase through rapid experimentation and exploration via prototypes.

We are a unique team that sits at the intersection of design and engineering. We work during the early product stages to craft fun and intuitive user experiences. We believe in building outstanding user experiences in collaboration with designers and researchers. You will build new and innovative prototypes geared towards our customer’s unique needs, test and refine those in collaboration with user researchers and product teams. You will work with academic researchers, engineers and designers in a highly agile and fun environment to quickly iterate on products, helping increase our customers’ efficiency as well as amplify their creativity. We are seeking a Senior Experience Developer to help shape the future of AI-first creative tools at the intersection of GenAI, Video and 3D.

A good blend of design and engineering skills preferred. We require hands on engineering experience with a proven track record of solving critical engineering problems. You are also passionate about design, and obsessed with solving user experience problems through code. You will need strong interpersonal skills, great collaboration and communication skills, and be someone who can lead by example and can influence for success. This is a chance to create a huge impact in an extraordinary team. Join us!
