About Adobe ## Description Adobe Document Cloud's AI organization is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the team behind our Generative AI frameworks and developer productivity systems.. This team builds the frameworks, tooling, and delivery infrastructure that AI squads across Document Cloud depend on. You will set standard practices and collaborate across the org to build the momentum and assurance behind shipping features quickly and at scale. Acrobat's AI features reach hundreds of millions of users and process billions of documents. At the center of how they get built are the frameworks this team owns: the agentic frameworks features run on, the tooling teams build with, and the observability to see how features behave before production. The team also leads the wider org in maturing its CI/CD and release practices. The bar is mature software engineering craft: clean abstractions, well-designed interfaces, and systems developers want to adopt. The job runs on influence, building tools good enough that teams adopt them by choice and getting the leadership on board that makes new ways of working stick. What you'll Do * Own the Generative AI development frameworks: the agentic frameworks, tooling, and observability teams rely on to build and ship. Set the technical direction and hold a high bar for clean abstractions and interfaces. * Own your team's delivery and roadmap. Set priorities with product and engineering partners, remove blockers, and hold the team to a high production-quality bar. * Drive the org in assuming responsibility. Guide AI squads to bring rigor and accountability to continuous integration, delivery, and deployment quality. s in their DORA metrics. * Champion developer experience. Cut onboarding friction and move toward AI-native tooling that lets engineers ship from their own codebase with agents handling the busy work. * Lead, grow, hire, and develop the team. Provide coaching, direct feedback, and career development, and stretch senior and principal engineers through cross-org ownership. * Represent the team and build consensus across engineering teams and leadership to move initiatives forward. ## Related Videos - [Developer Experience in the Age of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1118-developer-experience-in-the-age-of-ai) - [3x Performance: A Humbling Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100165-3x-performance-a-humbling-journey) - [Your imaginations is (no longer) the limit: how Generative AI empowers people to be creative](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/741-your-imaginations-is-no-longer-the-limit-how-generative-ai-empowers-people-to-be-creative) - [Engineering Productivity: Cutting Through the AI Noise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1691-engineering-productivity-cutting-through-the-ai-noise) - [NoCode LiveCode: Leveraging AI Tools to Craft Fully Functional Apps!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1169-nocode-livecode-leveraging-ai-tools-to-craft-fully-functional-apps) - [The shadows that follow the AI generative models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/624-the-shadows-that-follow-the-ai-generative-models) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools)
