TL;DR · Principal AI Systems Engineer, Agentic and Productivity Systems

Principal AI Systems Engineer- Agentic and Productivity Systems joins the Creative Cloud Engineering team to build next-generation AI-powered infrastructure for developer productivity and operational excellence. This role focuses on designing, orchestrating, and production-hardening agent-based systems to automate CI/CD workflows, code reviews, and build failure triage. The engineer will develop multi-agent orchestration patterns with structured state and memory while building reusable service architectures and evaluation pipelines. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, Go, or TypeScript, along with experience in distributed systems, infrastructure services, and integrating LLMs from providers like AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Candidates should possess skills in vector databases, RAG architectures, and cost-aware model routing. The role solves the challenge of transforming experimental AI workflows into durable, scalable production systems to improve engineering velocity across the Creative Cloud ecosystem.

What you'll do

  • Design and prototype agent-based systems for CI diagnostics, code review automation, and build failure triage.
  • Develop multi-agent orchestration patterns featuring structured state, memory, and control boundaries.
  • Build reusable orchestration layers and service architectures for AI-powered engineering systems.
  • Create structured evaluation pipelines including trace-based testing to monitor agent behavior.
  • Convert experimental AI workflows into secure, scalable, and production-grade services.
  • Implement observability, tracing, cost controls, and model routing for AI infrastructure.
  • Define internal standards for AI experimentation, deployment, and monitoring across engineering teams.
  • Build cohesive infrastructure to prevent tool sprawl and enable reusable AI productivity systems.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with depth in systems-level work.
  • Strong systems engineering skills using Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar languages.
  • Experience building distributed systems, developer platforms, or infrastructure services.
  • Experience integrating LLMs or AI APIs into production systems.
  • Experience evaluating and integrating multiple AI providers including cost optimization and capacity planning.
  • Strong understanding of observability, metrics, logging, and tracing systems.
  • Preferred experience with agent frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI.
  • Preferred experience with embeddings, vector databases, RAG architectures, and CI/CD platforms.
