The Opportunity

Adobe is redefining customer intelligence. We help enterprises understand their customers deeply—what they value, what they need—and translate that understanding into meaningful, personalized experiences.

The Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) is at the heart of this mission, powering data integration, governance, advanced analytics, and intelligent services at global scale. Our next chapter focuses on agent-driven AI systems —autonomous, adaptive agents that orchestrate complex workflows, learn from data, and deliver real-time insights and actions.

At the core lies our Enterprise Knowledge Base , a foundational platform that unifies structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. This system fuels advanced AI and Generative AI applications across Adobe's digital marketing ecosystem—empowering customers to unlock richer, more intelligent experiences.

We are looking for someone who thrives on solving hard problems, scaling intelligent systems, and creating measurable impact. You'll lead the design and development of low-latency, high-throughput services that power intelligent enterprise experiences across millions of users worldwide.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead the technical design, implementation, and evolution of AEP Knowledge Base and Agentic AI systems.
• Strong background in distributed storage (Delta Lake, Iceberg), compute (Spark), data warehousing (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and cloud services (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Work hands-on with foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama, Gemini) and model adaptation techniques.
• Architect RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and optimize vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus) for enterprise-grade AI solutions.
• Experience with foundation models (OpenAI / Anthropic / Llama / Gemini) and model adaptation techniques.
• Design and deploy high-performance, low-latency distributed systems that scale globally.
• Establish guidelines for evaluation, safety, and guardrails for system behaviour.
• Collaborate with research and product teams to integrate modern capabilities into the Platform.
• Mentor engineers, drive technical excellence, and foster a culture of continuous learning.
• Contributions to open-source projects in the agent / LLM ecosystem is desirable.
