Software Development Engineer

Software Development Engineer

Join Adobe as a Software Development Engineer and play a key role in reshaping the future of Photoshop experiences. This role offers a pioneering opportunity to integrate groundbreaking machine learning with user-friendly interfaces, crafting autonomous systems that improve creative workflows. You'll be part of a driven team committed to innovation and quality, pushing the limits of what's achievable in digital creativity.

What you'll do:

• Build modern, performant UI systems in collaboration with our design, ML, and core Photoshop engineering teams.
• Develop interfaces that orchestrate complex AI workflows in real-time, including LLM calls, multi-modal models, and contextual timely management.
• Architect front-end experiences for agentic interfaces, focusing on memory, decision chains, and interactive tool suggestions.
• Collaborate closely with applied researchers and ML infrastructure teams to integrate models into production workflows.
• Help define evaluation techniques and feedback loops to improve agent behavior and user outcomes.
• Stay on top of emerging trends in AI/ML, agentic frameworks, and generative UI.

What you need to succeed:

• 5+ years of experience building high-quality front-end applications using modern frameworks (React, TypeScript, Web Components, etc.).
• Strong understanding of ML integration patterns in product environments, including LLM orchestration and inference pipelines.
• Experience with ML model deployment and evaluation loops (train/eval/test), fine-tuning, and timely engineering.
• Familiarity with agentic architectures and tools like LangChain, AutoGen, or similar orchestration frameworks.
• Exposure to automated evaluation strategies (e.g., LLM-as-a-judge, RLHF, or probabilistic feedback methods).
• Knowledge of multi-modal model capabilities and how to integrate vision-language models into UI experiences.
• Comfort balancing brand-new ML capabilities with user experience considerations, latency, and performance.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with reinforcement learning techniques in user-facing systems.
• Understanding of real-time inference patterns, streaming contexts, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Contributions to agentic toolkits, open-source LLM frameworks, or timely engineering libraries.
