Job description

The Opportunity

Adobe’s Security Partnership Product Engineering (SPPE) team is hiring a mid-level engineer to build the AI-powered platforms that help secure our products. The team’s tools include a threat modeling capability that delivers analysis in seconds and a new feature that surfaces risk hotspots across Adobe’s product portfolio. You will design AI-driven features, partner with security and engineering teams Adobe-wide, and make risk-based decisions that balance security with engineering velocity. This role is based in New York City, San Jose, or Seattle.

What You’ll Do

• Build security analysis capabilities using LLM integrations with Azure OpenAI, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and vector-based context retrieval.
• Develop and maintain platforms end to end using React, Python FastAPI, Celery, Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes with Argo.
• Evaluate LLM and retrieval outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability for internal users.
• Address AI-specific risks like prompt injection, data exposure, and output manipulation.
• Make architecture decisions for new security capabilities, balancing performance, scalability, maintainability, and responsible AI use.
• Identify security gaps with internal users and propose features to close them.
• Partner with security and product teams to translate their needs into scalable features.
• Use AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to move faster without compromising code quality.
• Share knowledge with peers, support teammates, and contribute to Adobe’s security community.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 4 to 6 years of software development experience, including full-stack or backend systems.
• Solid foundation in Secure SDLC practices, application security, and threat modeling.
• Proficiency in Python and JavaScript, with React experience preferred.
• Experience with AI systems, including LLMs, prompt engineering, AI APIs like Azure OpenAI, and vector databases or retrieval-based systems.
• Understanding of AI-specific risks like prompt injection and hallucination, with experience evaluating AI outputs.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, preferably Azure, and containerized deployments.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Git, and modern development workflows.
• Ability to work independently and across teams, with judgment to make risk-based decisions and communicate technical risk clearly.
• Curiosity about emerging AI and security techniques and a willingness to apply them.
