Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients’ problems, no matter where you are in the world.

This is a 3 month fixed term salaried contract, located in Ontario Canada. Preferably in Toronto.

• Conduct technical workshops and training sessions to enhance team knowledge on Adobe products.
• Ensure best practices are followed in terms of architecture design and development, with an emphasis on innovation and building projects from the ground up.
