  • Integrate AI and ML capabilities into the scanning platform that helps surface actionable, context-aware findings to developers
  • Own and evolve the platform's interface, enabling engineering teams across Adobe to integrate scanning into their build and deployment workflows
  • Debug and resolve complex issues in distributed systems, driving production reliability improvements and post-incident learning

What you need to succeed
  • Bachelor's Degree or 5+ years of equivalent experience building services
  • Proven ability to build and operate production-grade Python services — backend engineering at scale, this is not a scripting project
  • Experience designing and operating distributed systems, including event-driven or async architectures
  • Hands-on experience creating cloud native services using container technologies
  • Strong API design skills and experience building APIs consumed by multiple downstream teams
  • Excellent communication skills, written and verbal — you work effectively across a geographically distributed team and with engineering customers across the company
