The role
From Adobe's own posting.
Our Company
Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We empower people to create, collaborate, and deliver exceptional experiences—and our operations teams play a critical role in making that possible at scale.
The Opportunity
The Creativity & Productivity (C&P) Operations team is seeking an Operations AI Developer to advance operational excellence using applied AI. This role combines operations, automation, and emerging AI capabilities. It focuses on identifying, designing, building, and deploying intelligent solutions to improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making across the organization.
This position is just beginning — you will help set the course, not only follow it. Your main focus will be building internal tools that simplify how the C&P Operations organization operates. You will be finding opportunities to boost efficiency in workflows and connecting with a wider executive network that is being developed. The solutions made here may grow beyond C&P and reach across Adobe, so the quality, maintainability, and care in your work matter greatly. Comfort with unclear situations and the skill to build frameworks from nothing are crucial.
You will be part of the Product Operations organization that reports into the Office of the President of C&P. You will work and collaborate closely with C&P Operations Leaders, engineering, and the Adobe Technical Systems (ATS) team. Your role is to convert real business needs into practical, scalable solutions. This is a high-visibility, hands-on role where you can influence how AI is adopted and expanded not only within C&P but possibly across Adobe.
What You'll Do
Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities to apply AI and other tooling across C&P Operations workflows and processes
Design, develop, and roll out AI agents, copilots, and automation tools that boost operational efficiency — focused primarily on internal applications across C&P, with potential to extend Adobe-wide
Collaborate across departments with operations, engineering, and the ATS team to transform business needs into scalable solutions
Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on tools powered by artificial intelligence using modern frameworks (LLMs, agent architectures, automation platforms)
Connect new solutions into existing tools and the emerging executive ecosystem to ensure cohesion across the broader ops organization
Build with Adobe-wide scalability in mind — solutions should be maintainable, well-documented, and transferable beyond their initial context
Establish and promote guidelines for responsible AI usage, governance, and operationalization
Drive adoption by building intuitive, high-value solutions aligned to real user workflows
Monitor performance, measure impact, and continuously improve deployed solutions in partnership with ops and analytics teams
What You Need to Succeed
5+ years of software development experience, with a strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals
Background in AI/ML, computer science, or a related technical field
Experience working with extensive language models and contemporary AI frameworks
Demonstrated capability to develop AI-driven applications, agents, or automation solutions
Skilled in Python or comparable languages, with experience handling APIs, MCPs, and integrations
Solid software engineering practices: clean code, version control (Git), testing rigor, and maintainability
Experience building and maintaining production systems beyond the prototype stage
Comfort working with data — querying, transforming, and visualizing operational metrics
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deploying solutions in enterprise environments
Understanding of security considerations when building AI-integrated tools
Strong problem-solving skills and genuine curiosity for exploring new technologies
Ability to move quickly from concept to prototype and iterate based on feedback
Effective communicator who can bridge technical and business perspectives — including with senior leadership
Ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments and drive outcomes with limited direction
Nice to Have
Exposure to operations, process design, or enterprise tooling ecosystems
Experience designing or contributing to executive-facing tools or dashboards
Experience building solutions intended to scale across a large, matrixed organization
Familiarity with AI governance frameworks and responsible AI practices in an enterprise context
Interest in shaping AI strategy within a business function
Experience working in a cross-functional environment alongside both engineering and non-engineering collaborators
Impact
This role is crucial for transforming C&P Operations and may influence Adobe’s large-scale approach.

You will join as a founding member in defining AI’s role in Adobe’s operations. Your work will develop new tools that link to a growing executive network and extend past a single team. The impact of your work could shape how Adobe and its wider organization operate and expand.
