Job description

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Build Systems & Pipeline Engineer to help scale and evolve the infrastructure that powers development and delivery across Adobe Express across web, services, iOS, and Android platforms.

This role sits at the intersection of developer productivity, platform engineering, CI/CD architecture, observability, and intelligent developer tooling. You will design and operate high-performance build systems and resilient delivery pipelines that enable teams to build, test, validate, and release complex multi-platform applications efficiently and reliably.

You will partner closely with client, services, infrastructure, and developer experience teams to improve engineering velocity, reduce build and test latency, increase pipeline reliability, and strengthen operational visibility across the software delivery lifecycle.

We are also looking for engineers who actively leverage modern AI-assisted development workflows and understand how intelligent tooling is reshaping software engineering practices, developer experience, and delivery systems at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Architect, implement, and maintain scalable build systems for large multi-platform codebases spanning web, services, iOS, and Android
• Design and optimize Bazel-based build infrastructure for performance, reliability, and reproducibility
• Build and operate dynamic CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as Buildkite and GitLab
• Develop stable and scalable automated test pipelines for web applications, backend services, and mobile platforms
• Improve build and test observability through metrics, telemetry, dashboards, alerting, tracing, and pipeline health analysis
• Drive improvements in build performance, developer feedback loops, release velocity, and infrastructure reliability
• Develop tooling and automation supporting testing, release orchestration, artifact management, and deployment workflows
• Partner with engineering teams to streamline developer workflows and improve day-to-day engineering productivity
• Enable scalable remote caching and distributed build execution strategies
• Apply AI-assisted development tools and workflows to improve engineering productivity, debugging, code quality, testing, and operational efficiency
• Evaluate and integrate emerging AI-enabled engineering workflows into development environments and CI/CD systems
• Design engineering systems and repositories that work effectively with AI-assisted developer tooling through strong conventions, documentation, metadata, and workflow design
• Contribute to long-term platform strategy around build infrastructure, developer velocity, observability, and intelligent automation

What You Need to Succeed

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of experience in build systems, CI/CD infrastructure, or developer platform engineering
• Deep expertise with Bazel build systems in large-scale production environments
• Strong experience designing and operating dynamic pipelines using platforms such as Buildkite
• Experience supporting large-scale web and mobile application development environments
• Strong understanding of build graph
