  • Develop with a strong product-first approach, while prioritizing quality, reliability, security, and performance.

  • Collaborate multi-functionally with architects, product managers, data engineers, and site reliability engineers.

  • Contribute to infrastructure-as-code efforts using tools like Terraform and manage CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration via Kubernetes.

  • Monitor services with advanced observability tooling like Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, New Relic, and Datadog.

What You'll Bring:

  • 6+ years of backend software engineering experience

  • Strong expertise in Java and the JVM ecosystem

  • Experience designing and operating distributed systems or microservices

  • Hands-on experience with Kafka or other event streaming technologies

  • Experience building high-scale backend systems or data platforms

  • Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

  • Familiarity with container orchestration (Kubernetes)

  • Strong understanding of system scalability, performance, and reliability

  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.)

Why Adobe Engineering

  • Work on systems that process billions of events every day
