Position Summary

Adobe Photoshop is used by over 90% of the world's creative professionals to bring what they imagine to life. But what about the rest of us?

Join our team at Adobe SF to help re-imagine Photoshop, for everyone, on the web. We're building a new product empowering everyone to easily create the images and designs they imagine - with the simplicity, power and joy of playing with simple building blocks.

We are looking for someone with creativity, inquisitiveness and strong customer empathy, who also has the technical expertise and skills to lead our quality engineering team. You'll work closely with product and engineering teams to develop a robust, high-quality product.

We're using lean app development principles - iterating fast and incorporating extensive user testing - to stay focused on solving real customer problems and to experiment with new ideas. Our process is highly collaborative and there is plenty of room to make a big impact.

We're a small but rapidly growing team, backed by the tech and resources of Adobe. Our modern front-end web stack includes: TypeScript, Web Components, WebAssembly, Canvas/WebGL. We're initially building for low-end devices, such as Chromebooks. On the back-end we're integrating with Adobe's cloud services, building with node.js, python, C++, Java. Our testing automation suite is written in python and JavaScript, built with Selenium.

Join us to change how the world creates images.
