Rapidly design and implement features and integrations based on immediate customer requirements, moving quickly from "whiteboard sketch" to working code
Experiment with Generative AI and agentic workflows to create novel demos and automation tools that showcase the future of the Adobe ecosystem
Write clean, efficient, and testable Java/Scala code for high-availability systems and RESTful APIs
Troubleshoot complex integration issues in real-time, performing root cause analysis when services don't behave as expected

Solid understanding of REST API concepts and how to consume/build web services
Practical experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (you know how to write a query and design a basic schema)
A 'hacker' mindset: You are curious, you learn new technologies quickly, and you enjoy finding creative workarounds to technical blockers
Preferred
Experience playing with Agentic Frameworks: LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or AutoGPT concepts to build autonomous agents
Understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (vector databases, embeddings) to ground LLM responses in real data
Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) to build complete end-to-end demos
A GitHub profile showing personal projects—especially those involving AI wrappers, chatbots, or automation tools
Experience deploying your own apps to AWS, Azure, or GCP (e.g., deploying a Python AI bot on Lambda)
