The Opportunity

As a full-stack Senior Software Engineer at Adobe Workfront, you will play a key role in shaping the future by designing and delivering high-impact features that empower teams worldwide. You will work closely with your engineering team and partner with Product Management, UX, and other cross-functional experts to turn ideas into realized, scalable capabilities.

Our team is currently focused on the Unified Approvals experience, building a modern, extensible, and efficient approval system that impacts thousands of customers. You will collaborate on end-to-end projects—conception, architecture, experimentation, implementation, measurement, and iteration—and you’ll have opportunities to explore new technologies, influence engineering practices, and contribute to technical strategy.

What You’ll Do

While this role is primarily hands-on, you’ll also be expected to mentor others, guide small- to medium-sized efforts, contribute to planning, identify dependencies and risks, recommend engineering practice improvements, and help specialists grow in their craft.

• Own the build, development, testing, fixing, optimization, and continuous improvement of software across platforms.
• Develop new product features that delight and encourage marketers, IT professionals, and knowledge workers worldwide.
• Guide discussions about emerging tools, technologies, and processes, and evaluate how they can be leveraged to improve our products.
• Identify dependencies, risks, planning gaps, and opportunities to improve engineering practices.
• Foster a strong team culture by encouraging contribution, collaboration, and collective problem-solving.
• Explore and research new technologies, pitch solutions, and validate ideas through experimentation.

Collaborate with Peers and Customers

• Partner with Product Management, Design, and other engineers to identify customer-focused solutions and deliver high-quality features.
• Ensure features are thoroughly tested and perform well under significant load.
• Interact with customers to refine requirements and identify improvements.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
• More than 5 years of programming experience, including recent direct work with React and Node.js, and solid abilities in modern JavaScript technologies like TypeScript and ES6.
• Solid knowledge of server-side technologies, including Java, Spring, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Experience with data technologies including RDBMS, NoSQL, Kafka, and Elasticsearch.
• Strong understanding of high-availability concepts and distributed or cloud-based systems (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience building accessible applications that conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to describe concepts, whiteboard designs, and collaborate effectively across teams.
• Experience researching solutions and pitching ideas to senior team members and leadership.
• Comfort taking smart risks and proactively suggesting improvements.
