Behind these products are sophisticated software systems operating at scale, where efficiency, dependability, safety, and engineering excellence are fundamental requirements.\nWe are looking for a Computer Scientist-II with deep C++ expertise who enjoys solving complex technical problems and taking ownership of significant areas of the product. You will develop architecture, build high-performance software, make critical technical decisions, and influence solutions that span modules and groups.\nWe value engineers who are dedicated and proactive. They challenge assumptions, solve root problems, make practical tradeoffs, and take responsibility for improving the systems they own. They focus on making these systems better, more reliable, and easier to evolve.\nWhat You'll Do\nTake responsibility for and develop significant technical areas end-to-end - from understanding ambiguous problems and defining the right solution through architecture, implementation, production validation, and long-term evolution.\nDesign and build high-performance C++ systems, making thoughtful decisions around architecture, concurrency, memory management, resource utilization, and scalability.\nDrive technical direction for complex problems - evaluate alternatives, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and influence architecture decisions across components and teams.\nSolve problems at the root - identify systemic causes rather than treating symptoms, and drive durable solutions that reduce recurring issues and technical debt.\nOwn outcomes, not just tasks - proactively identify gaps, risks, and opportunities and drive them to closure with little supervision.\nSolve complex problems across boundaries, collaborating with engineers, architects, product managers, and other teams to deliver cohesive solutions.\nRaise the engineering bar through architecture and code reviews, performance optimization, testing, and engineering guidelines.\nBuild for operational excellence with strong focus on performance, reliability, security, observability, maintainability, and efficient resource utilization.\nBe a force multiplier - mentor engineers, share technical expertise, and establish patterns and practices that improve the broader engineering organization.\nLeverage AI-assisted engineering to speed up development and problem solving, improve engineering workflows, and increase team efficiency.\nWhat You Need to Succeed\nB.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong track record of owning and delivering complex technical solutions.\nDeep expertise in C++, including modern C++, memory management, concurrency, multithreading, STL, and performance optimization.\nStrong foundation in data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, operating systems, and computer science fundamentals.\nStrong understanding of systems design, distributed systems, concurrency, scalability, and performance engineering.\nExperience designing and building large-scale, high-performance software systems.\nExperience building or operating Distributed systems at scale, with an understanding of multi-tenancy, scaling, reliability, backward compatibility, security, observability, and managing system resources.\nStrong experience with performance analysis and optimization, including profiling CPU, memory, I/O, latency, and resource utilization.\nExperience with cloud platforms, distributed infrastructure, and modern software development practices.\nStrong proficiency in AI-assisted engineering, bringing to bear tools such as Claude, Codex, or Copilot to accelerate development, improve problem solving, and enhance engineering efficiency.\nStrong technical judgment and problem-solving ability, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and influence technical decisions across teams.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nSuccess in this role is not measured only by the features you deliver. You will be successful when you:\nOwn and evolve major technical domains with minimal direction and strong technical judgment.\nTurn ambiguous, complex problems into clear technical direction and executable solutions.\nMake architecture decisions that balance efficiency, expandability, dependability, maintainability, and long-term evolution.\nSolve systemic problems at their root and eliminate recurring sources of complexity, performance issues, and operational risk.\nInfluence technical direction across teams and organizational boundaries through technical depth and credibility.\nDeliver solutions that materially improve performance, scalability, reliability, quality, or developer productivity.\nRaise the technical bar through mentorship, design leadership, and engineering practices that benefit the broader organization.\nAbout Adobe\nAdobe empowers everyone to create through innovative platforms and tools that unleash creativity, productivity and personalized customer experiences.
