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

JOB TITLE: Principal AI Systems Engineer- Agentic and Productivity Systems The Creative Cloud Engineering organization seeks a Senior AI Systems Engineer to build next-generation AI-powered engineering infrastructure. You will design, orchestrate, and operationalize agent-based systems to improve developer productivity across CI/CD, developer tooling, and operational diagnostics. Your daily work involves prototyping multi-agent orchestration patterns with structured state and memory, building reusable service architectures, and developing structured evaluation pipelines for agent behavior. You will convert experimental workflows into production-grade services featuring observability, cost controls, and model routing. Required skills include systems engineering experience with Python, Go, or TypeScript, along with expertise in distributed systems, LLM integration, and providers like AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, and OpenAI. You will solve the technical challenge of creating durable, scalable infrastructure to reduce manual debugging and operational friction.

What you'll do

  • Design and prototype agent-based systems for CI diagnostics, code review automation, and autonomous debugging.
  • Develop multi-agent orchestration patterns with structured state, memory, and control boundaries.
  • Build reusable orchestration layers and service architectures for AI-powered engineering systems.
  • Develop structured evaluation pipelines including trace-based evaluation and regression testing for agent behavior.
  • Convert experimental AI workflows into secure, scalable, and production-grade services.
  • Implement observability, tracing, cost controls, and model routing for AI systems.
  • Define internal standards for AI experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
  • 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 demonstrated depth in systems-level work.
  • Strong systems engineering experience 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.
  • Experience operating production services at scale.
  • Experience with agent frameworks, embeddings, vector databases, RAG architectures, or CI/CD platforms (preferred).
