TL;DR · Principal Engineering Program Manager, Agentic Builder Experiences

The Principle Engineering Program Manager, Agentic Builder Experiences joins the Adobe Builder eXperience group within the Adobe Unified Platform. This role involves owning a technical portfolio of programs to re-develop how software is shipped by building next-generation developer and builder tooling. You will drive roadmap strategy, align operating models for a new organization, and translate builder pain points into platform requirements. Key responsibilities include running governance, managing trade-off decisions, and providing hands-on technical input on AI and agentic systems. You will utilize Jira, Confluence, and program reporting tools to manage complex dependencies. The role focuses on the end-to-end lifecycle of building products, specifically solving the problem of making internal builders more effective through agentic technologies and modern technology stacks.

What you'll do

  • Drive the roadmap and portfolio strategy for the ABX group to deliver next-generation developer tooling.
  • Establish the operating model, structures, and execution approaches for the newly forming organization.
  • Translate builder needs and pain points into technical platform requirements for engineering teams.
  • Evaluate and integrate AI and agentic technologies into platforms and workflows to improve builder efficiency.
  • Manage governance, resourcing calls, and trade-off decisions across a multi-team portfolio.
  • Provide hands-on technical input on direction rather than just providing coordination-only oversight.
  • Define success metrics and establish benchmarks for all partner programs.
  • Codify repeatable program management practices and governance models for reuse across the Adobe Unified Platform.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of technical program management experience.
  • Direct experience shipping AI/ML or GenAI-powered technologies.
  • Proven zero-to-one product and program experience building structure and process from scratch.
  • Systems thinking with a solid understanding of modern technology stacks and developer platforms.
  • Excellent executive communication skills to distill technical complexity into clear narratives.
  • Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and program reporting tools.
  • Prior experience in AI platform development, developer platforming, or related infrastructure work (preferred).
