Software Development Engineer - Adobe Express (with AI/ML Expertise)

Location: Bucharest

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

We're building the Presentations feature inside Adobe Express - a product embraced by millions of people to tell stories, pitch ideas, and build content that moves people.
 

Our search is for a senior engineer in Bucharest who cares as much about the why behind the work as the how. This isn't a "pick up tickets and ship" role.

You'd be crafting how AI and creativity combine in a product people genuinely love. This includes generative slide layouts, AI-powered copywriting, and a real-time collaborative editing engine built on C++/WASM and TypeScript.

What you'd work on:

• Owning backend systems and APIs that power Presentations at scale - performance, reliability, and iteration speed matter here

• Building and improving AI/ML-powered features: generative presentations

• Collaborating with Product and Design to spot the right problems to solve - not just implement specs, but bring your own perspective on what users need

• Driving technical decisions (ADRs), mentoring peers, and keeping a large, fast paced codebase healthy

What we're looking for:

• 8+ years of engineering experience

• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript - you're at home in a monorepo with Lit web components, MobX, Webpack/Rspack, and Rush/Bazel

• Hands-on AI/ML experience - LLMs, TensorFlow.js, or similar in production

• C++ or systems programming background - we use C++ and Emscripten for our rendering engine

• Full-stack comfort across Node.js services, Redis

• Product approach - you ask "does this actually help the user?" before shipping

Bonus:

• WebAssembly / web workers experience

• You've led technical design across multi-engineer features

Stack: TypeScript

• Node.js

• Lit

• MobX

• C++

• WASM

• Express

• Firefly SDK

• OpenAI

• TensorFlow.js

• Rspack

• Bazel

• Kubernetes

• Playwright

If you want to build something creative, intelligent, and used by millions - let's talk.
