Join to apply for the Sr. Director, AI Assistant & UX Engineering role at Adobe

Our Company

Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe’s all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We’re passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen. We’re on a mission to hire the very best and are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours!

The Opportunity

Adobe is seeking an exceptional Senior Director of AI Assistant and UX Engineering to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of cutting‑edge Generative AI experiences across the Adobe Experience Platform. In this high‑impact role, you'll shape and scale the next generation of enterprise‑grade AI applications—defining how our customers interact with intelligence‑driven interfaces and workflows. This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned engineering leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, 0‑to‑1 product environment and is passionate about crafting intuitive, AI‑powered user experiences at scale. You’ll collaborate across disciplines to bring bold ideas to life, continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with UX and AI.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the UX Engineering strategy for Generative AI experiences across the Adobe Experience Platform, ensuring seamless, scalable, and cohesive interfaces across product surfaces.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, AI / ML, and Platform Engineering teams to deliver deeply integrated, user‑centric solutions that meet enterprise‑grade standards.
  • Shape the broader Unified Experience strategy, aligning engineering execution with a long‑term vision for coherent cross‑product workflows.
  • Foster a high‑performing, inclusive, and creative engineering culture focused on iteration, design excellence, and technical rigor.
  • Mentor and grow a world‑class team of engineering leaders and ICs, attracting top talent and enabling career development at all levels.
  • Serve as a visible thought leader both within Adobe and externally—representing the team at key industry events, conferences, and developer communities.
  • Maintain a strong technical grasp of the team’s architecture and engineering decisions; be ready to dive deep and guide high‑stakes decisions.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years leading engineering directors and senior managers in a matrixed, high‑growth environment.
  • 15+ years of experience in software engineering, including significant leadership of UX‑focused teams building complex, AI‑powered web applications at scale.
  • Proven success delivering 0→1 product experiences, especially within AI, data platforms, or enterprise SaaS.
  • Deep understanding of modern front‑end technologies and frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript, Web Components), with a point of view on developer experience and tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive user experience excellence through engineering, partnering effectively with product design and research teams.
  • Strategic thinking with hands‑on technical depth—you can articulate trade‑offs, evaluate architectures, and influence at all levels.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, able to translate complex technical ideas to executive stakeholders and cross‑functional teams.
  • A solid grasp of the Generative AI landscape—its opportunities, challenges, and evolving user needs.
  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several U.S. geographic markets, and we pay differently based on those defined markets. The U.S. pay range for this position is $197,700 – $416,600 annually. Pay within this range varies by work location and may also depend on job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the job location during the hiring process.

    At Adobe, for sales roles starting salaries are expressed as total target compensation (TTC = base + commission), and short‑term incentives are in the form of a sales commission plan. Non‑sales roles starting salaries are expressed as base salary and short‑term incentives are in the form of the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP). In addition, certain roles may be eligible for long‑term incentives in the form of a new hire equity award.
