Forward - Deployed Engineer (AI)

As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer, you will own the end-to-end development and launch of GenAI applications through Adobe and third-party generative models. You are an AI native who will embed directly into customer teams to spin up proof points in days and co-develop features that enhance customer value. If you thrive in start-up environments, scale products from prototype to production, push innovative research into real-world use cases, and own product and business outcomes, you'll fit right in here!

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate and Innovate: Partner with technical architects, engagement managers, and product teams to define customer requirements/use cases, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create specific GenAI solutions.
• Prototype Rapidly: Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset, build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and drive quick wins. UX/UI and rapid prototyping skills are a plus.
• Engineer End-to-End: Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices, integrating Firefly APIs, Common Extensibility Platform, GenStudio for Performance Marketing, headless CMS architectures, and UX/UI designs.
• Bridge to Product: Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product and Engineering, fueling the Firefly roadmap.
• Automate and Scale: Develop reusable components, CI/CD pipelines, and governance checks to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.
• Operate at Speed: Thrive in a constantly evolving, start-up-like environment; own delivery sprints, tackle challenges on-site/remotely, and adapt to evolving AI trends.
• Share and Elevate: Document your playbooks, prompts, and patterns in our internal knowledge base, helping the whole organization move faster.

Requirements:

• Full-Stack Expertise: 5+ years as a full-stack developer or technical consultant building and launching production software (React.js/Next.js/Angular; Node.js/Java Spring Boot; REST/GraphQL, HTML, JavaScript, Java, XML).

• Adobe Fluency: Deep understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud APIs/SDK/CEP, Firefly Services APIs, and Adobe Experience Cloud integrations (AEM, Workfront Fusion, AJO, or equivalent experience).
• Cloud and DevOps Savvy: AWS/Azure/GCP, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.).
• Strong communicator: You translate complex AI concepts for both engineers and executives and guide customers through technical decisions aligned to business objectives.
• Customer-Centricity: Always prioritizing the customer and their needs and expectations first in everything you do. You are outstanding at contributing to a culture of customer-centricity among your team and your extended ecosystem.
