The Opportunity
Join our “DevOps for Content” revolution as we partner with global brands and agencies to transform their end-to-end creative workflows – from ideation to activation – to deliver AI-powered content services with speed, scale, and governance.
Through an AI-first experimentation approach and deep expertise in both first-party and third-party AI models, we develop new applications, platforms, and scalable patterns that unlock the GenAI-powered Content Supply Chain. We function as a continuous product innovation engine—feeding repeatable customer solutions straight into the product roadmap to accelerate product-led growth.
As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you will own the end-to-end development and launch of GenAI applications through Adobe and third-party generative models. You are an AI native who will embed directly into customer teams to spin up proof points in days and co-develop features that enhance customer value. If you thrive in start-up environments—scaling products from prototype to production, pushing innovative research into real-world use cases, and owning product & business outcomes—you’ll fit right in here!
What You’ll Do
Collaborate & Innovate: Partner with Technical Architects, Engagement Managers and Product teams to define customer requirements/use cases, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create specific GenAI solutions.
Prototype Rapidly: Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset—build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and drive quick wins. UX/UI and rapid prototyping skills are a plus.
Engineer End-to-End: Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices—integrating Firefly APIs, Common Extensibility Platform, GenStudio for Performance Marketing, headless CMS architectures and UX/UI Designs.
Bridge to Product: Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product & Engineering—fueling the Firefly roadmap.
Automate & Scale: Develop reusable components, CI/CD pipelines, and governance checks to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.
Operate at Speed: Thrive in a constantly evolving, start-up-like environment—own delivery sprints, tackle challenges on-site/remotely, and adapt to evolving AI trends.
Share & Elevate: Document your playbooks, prompts, and patterns in our internal knowledge base—helping the whole organization move faster.
