We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to join our team responsible for developing and maintaining the runtime and control plane for agents in Adobe CX Enterprise, transforming large language models into enterprise tools grounded in Adobe’s data. This role involves owning the core platform components such as the agent loop, tool protocols (MCP, A2A), skills, knowledge grounding, and ensuring trust & safety guarantees. You will define evaluation metrics, feedback loops, and developer surfaces for both skill developers and agentic app developers, while collaborating with engineering leads to balance building proprietary solutions versus adopting from open ecosystems. Ideal candidates have over seven years of experience in AI platforms or similar infra products, fluency in modern agentic stack technologies like Claude Code and Cursor, and a strong background in defining platform contracts and technical interfaces.
