The Opportunity
Adobe is redefining how generative AI fits into professional creative workflows. This role focuses on a critical part of that problem: giving creators precise, intelligible control over generative outputs, grounded in spatial (3D) knowledge and tooling.
We’relooking for a Senior Staff Designer to help design and build AI-native tools and workflows that use spatial structure, authored inputs, and procedural controlto steer generation in predictable, repeatable ways. The work sits at the intersection of generative models, 3D systems, and creator-facing tools, and it requires someone who can operatecomfortably across design, product, and engineering.
This is a hands-on senior IC role. Success is not just ideas or concepts, butshipped workflows that creators can understand, trust, and use deliberately.
What you’ll be working on
You will help develop new tools and workflows that allow creators to guide generative systems using spatial and structural intent, not just text prompts.
Leveraging 3D scenes, structure, materials, cameras, and spatial relationships as inputs to AI systems.
This work spans early exploration through production-ready execution. You’ll be expected to navigate ambiguity while still delivering concrete, usable outcomes.
As members of Adobe Design, we:
What you’ll bring to the team
Understanding of geometry, materials, lighting, cameras, or related concepts.
This role helps ensure Adobe’s generative AI tools expand creator agency instead of replacing it. By grounding generation in spatial structure and explicit control, the work here enables:
