TL;DR

As a senior product engineer in Adobe's Forward Deployed Engineering team, you will prototype and productionize full-stack generative AI applications for enterprise customers, embedding directly with their teams to understand requirements and co-build solutions. You will design, develop, and deploy software from concept to deployment while extracting reusable patterns into shared libraries and frameworks to accelerate future projects. This role requires hands-on experience in building on LLMs like GPT and developing RAG pipelines, along with fluency in AI-native workflows using tools such as Cursor or Copilot.
