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

As a Senior AI Platform Engineer- Data and Systems, you will join the Adobe Express Data Platform team to build foundational infrastructure for high-scale data processing and autonomous agent capabilities. You will design streaming-first data pipelines to reduce latency, manage an ML Attribute Store with low-latency serving, and develop MCP-compatible Agent Data APIs that allow AI systems to query the lakehouse. The role focuses on creating self-healing pipelines, automated anomaly detection, and robust infrastructure for analytics and AI workflows. Key technologies include Apache Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, Kafka, Flink, Python, Scala, SQL, and Docker/Kubernetes. You will also work with LLM integration tools like LangChain or CrewAI, while utilizing developer tools such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to automate operations and eliminate manual toil within the data ecosystem.

What you'll do

  • Design and build streaming-first data pipelines using event-driven architectures to reduce end-to-end latency.
  • Manage the ML Attribute Store by building low-latency online serving capabilities and unified batch/streaming aggregations.
  • Develop MCP-compatible Agent Data APIs to make the lakehouse discoverable and queryable by autonomous AI agents.
  • Build 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.
  • Integrate LLMs into production workflows using prompt engineering, tool-use, and structured output parsing.
  • Implement automated data governance systems to replace manual operational tasks with self-healing pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Have 6+ years of experience in data platform engineering, distributed systems, or backend infrastructure at scale.
  • Possess deep hands-on experience with Apache Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, or similar lakehouse technologies.
  • Demonstrate a track record of building and operating large-scale pipelines processing billions of events daily.
  • Have strong experience with streaming systems such as Kafka, Kinesis, Flink, or Spark Structured Streaming.
  • Be proficient in Python and/or Scala, with SQL fluency required; Java or Go is a plus.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD for data pipelines.
  • Possess production experience integrating LLMs into workflows using agentic AI frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or CrewAI.
