2027 University Graduate - AI Forward Deployed Engineer

The Opportunity

Adobe's PPCO Transformation Office makes the everyday effortless for employees and managers, and helps our Employee Experience (EX) rise to meet the moments that matter. We're looking for an AI Forward Deployed Engineer to help us move faster. You'll partner directly with teams leading our top transformation initiatives and build AI solutions in weeks, not months.

You'll rotate across the Transformation Office's top initiatives, pairing with an EX process or service leads to turn a real case volume driver or workload bottleneck into a working AI solution, from prototype to production.

You'll also partner with technology teams across Adobe, including product teams, to pilot Adobe's own AI products on Adobe's hardest internal problems as Customer Zero.

What You'll Do

• Partner with EX process and service leads on the Transformation Office's top initiatives. Turn top priority opportunities into working AI solutions, and build judgment about which problems are worth solving with AI.
• Design, build, and deploy full stack systems, from frontend to backend to AI integration. Own projects from prototype to production, partnering with tech teams on integrations.
• Bring reusable patterns and tools back to the Transformation Office so each deployment raises the floor for the next team.
• Present findings, demos, and recommendations directly to collaborators and leadership. Build trust as a technical owner, not just a contributor.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor's or Master's degree, or equivalent experience, in Computer Science, Data Science, Human Computer Interaction, Information Science, AI, or a related field. Expected graduation between December 2026 and June 2027.

• Demonstrated experience building full stack software (frontend and backend) through coursework, internships, research, or personal projects.

• Hands on experience with generative AI tools and APIs (such as Claude, GPT, or Copilot), and comfort designing prompts, workflows, or lightweight agents.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python and/or JavaScript, including API integration and version control.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical collaborators, and vice versa.
