About the role

  • Senior Director of Engineering leading Adobe's agentic platform development and integration with first and third-party solutions. Driving innovation and technical strategy in AI-powered applications.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture and development of Adobe's agentic harness for both our 1st and 3rd party agentic solutions
  • Drive coherence across a federated engineering landscape, aligning teams building multiple components of the catalog of capabilities
  • Grow and lead multiple engineering teams across Adobe's agentic platform and packaging functions, driving technical strategy, team health, and execution velocity
  • Own the engineering roadmap for packaging and publishing Adobe's agentic capabilities (tools, skills, MCPs) across third-party AI surfaces
  • Partner closely with the Agentic Product Management leads for 1P and 3P to define technical scope, sequence delivery, and translate product strategy into executable engineering plans
  • Lead the design and delivery of multi-tier agentic experiences spanning in-app AI assistants, desktop workflow automation, cloud-based orchestration, and long-running enterprise pipelines
  • Ensure Adobe's agentic packages meet the technical standards, reliability, and quality bar required for launch on major partner platforms, operating on a running release train model
  • Partner across Adobe's engineering, security, and infrastructure teams to ensure agentic capabilities are built with appropriate guardrails, data protection, and enterprise-grade reliability
  • Represent Adobe in technical conversations with LLM partners and navigate integration architecture and co-development decisions
  • Build and maintain fluency across the emerging agentic standards ecosystem — MCP, plugin architecture, skills manifests, agent harnesses — and ensure Adobe's engineering practices evolve with the space

Requirements

  • A track record of leading and scaling high-performing engineering organizations to ship complex platform products, ideally spanning both first-party product development and third-party ecosystem integrations
  • Deep experience with AI/ML platform engineering, including working knowledge of LLM APIs, agent frameworks, and the emerging agentic tooling ecosystem (MCP, function calling, orchestration layers)
  • Experience building and shipping developer-facing platform capabilities — APIs, SDKs, plugin/connector frameworks — at scale
  • Strong cross-functional leadership instincts with a history of effective partnership with Product, Design, GTM, and external technical partners
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where technical standards and competitive dynamics are rapidly evolving
  • Experience with enterprise-grade reliability, security, and compliance requirements in the context of AI-powered products leadership roles
  • Experience working with LLM providers or contributing to AI platform strategy is strongly preferred.
