TL;DR · Senior AI Platform Engineer, Data and Systems

The Senior AI Platform Engineer- Data and Systems joins the Adobe Express Data Platform team to build foundational infrastructure for AI, analytics, and autonomous agents. You will design streaming-first data pipelines to reduce latency, manage the ML Attribute Store for online feature serving, and develop MCP-compatible Agent Data APIs. Your daily work involves building agentic frameworks for automated anomaly detection, self-healing pipelines, and data governance. You will utilize technologies including Apache Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, Kafka, Flink, Python, Scala, and SQL. The role requires expertise in LLM integration, RAG architectures, and vector databases like Pinecone or FAISS. You will solve complex problems by evolving a billion-event-per-day system into a streaming-first lakehouse, replacing manual operational toil with autonomous, self-healing systems and agentic automation.

What you'll do

  • Design and build streaming-first data pipelines to reduce end-to-end latency from hours to minutes.
  • Own and extend the ML Attribute Store to provide low-latency online feature serving and batch aggregation.
  • Build MCP-compatible Agent Data APIs and tool servers for autonomous AI systems to query the lakehouse.
  • Develop an agentic framework for automated anomaly detection, pipeline self-healing, and root cause analysis.
  • Drive operational excellence through observability, incident response automation, performance tuning, and cost optimization.
  • Translate platform capabilities into self-serve infrastructure to reduce engineering toil for non-platform teams.
  • Use AI-powered developer tools to accelerate personal and team engineering velocity.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in data platform engineering, distributed systems, or backend infrastructure at scale.
  • Deep hands-on experience with Apache Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, or equivalent lakehouse technologies.
  • Proven track record building and operating large-scale pipelines processing billions of events daily with sub-hour latency SLAs.
  • Strong experience with streaming systems such as Kafka, Kinesis, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, or Delta Live Tables.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or Scala with required SQL fluency; Java or Go is a plus (preferred).
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD for data pipelines.
  • Production experience integrating LLMs into engineering workflows and hands-on experience with agentic AI frameworks like LangChain or CrewAI.
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience (preferred).
