Sr Engineering Manager - Agentic AI, Adobe Express

The Opportunity

Build the AI engine behind a creative product millions rely on every day.

We believe that a modern tool for building should be lightweight and easy to use, with low friction and outstanding performance. We are reimagining the creative process powered through a highly collaborative experience that works seamlessly across multiple surfaces.

Adobe Express is where ideas transform into creations at blazing speed. Behind every AI-powered moment our users tap into, theres a foundation: model orchestration, inference systems, data pipelines, caching, evaluation. Were hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team that develops that foundation.

This isnt a role where AI is a buzzword on a roadmap. Your teams work directly powers Agentic AI, Build AI, Imaging AI, Motion AI, and Personalization AI across Express. When millions of creators generate, edit, animate, or personalize, your systems are doing the heavy lifting underneath.

Why this role is different

Scale that matters. Express reaches tens of millions of users. The decisions your team makes about orchestration, inference, and caching are felt by every one of them.

The complete modern AI stack. Model coordination, inference systems, data pipelines, caching and storage layers, session analytics, continuous evaluation frameworks - your team manages it from start to finish.

Real influence. You wont just ship features. Youll compose how AI is built, measured, and adopted across one of Adobes flagship products.

A team worth leading. Sharp, ambitious engineers who care deeply about the problem. Your job is to multiply their impact.

What youll do

• Lead, grow, and develop a team of strong engineers by attracting top talent, mentoring through change, and crafting the conditions for great work.

• Drive the technical direction for the AI framework underpinning every AI experience in Adobe Express.

• Own delivery end-to-end, architecture choices, execution risk, dependencies, and clear signal to senior leadership on what matters.

• Partner closely with product, research, and development to turn ambitious AI ideas into systems that actually scale.

• Stay ahead of where the field is going with new models, new patterns, new evaluation methods and translate that into product impact.

• Build a team culture thats inclusive, candid, fast paced, and genuinely fun to be part of.

What you bring

• 15 - 20+ years in software engineering, with 6+ years leading engineering teams through real product delivery.

• Hands-on AI/ML experience, youve built ML-powered features, coordinated models into production systems, or worked shoulder to shoulder with ML research teams. You understand the gap between a model that works in a notebook and one that works at scale.

• A track record of driving AI adoption beyond a single team by defining success metrics, crafting governance practices, and enabling safe, scalable usage across an organization.

• Strong technical depth and the analytical instincts to make sharp calls with incomplete information.

• Experience leading in diverse, global, collaborative environments.

• A Bachelors or advanced degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
