Description
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
Are you a recent graduate with a degree in computer science or mathematics or a software engineer with up to 5 years of industry experience? Are you interested in working with a bunch of exceptional, humble and committed engineers who can help you realise your potential to become a phenomenal engineer?
Adobe Edinburgh are looking for engineers to join our team building Adobe's Administration Platform which enables Adobe's business to grow rapidly.
As part of the Cloud Technology unit, our mission is to invent the technologies that allow our product leaders’ dreams to come true. We work to solve problems at a scale few other companies face.
We build high availability and low maintenance services that play a critical role for Adobe customers, whether they be individuals or multinational enterprises.
When our customers manage their Creative Cloud subscription, our APIs are behind the scenes.
When multinational advertising agencies and social networking companies need to map thousands of users from their IT system to Adobe’s identity system, they use the APIs created in Edinburgh. When customers receive an email welcoming them to their Adobe account, that’s constructed and sent by our systems.
Sounds simple, but our team co-ordinates upwards of 40 other systems and services to enable our customers tell their stories and create new experiences.
Our Adobe Edinburgh engineering centre also build and run a real-time messaging platform for distributed intersystem communication that is at the heart of Adobe's $17 billion annual revenues.
There are opportunities in Edinburgh for you to build the services and solutions that help deliver Adobe’s vision of the future. You will have the chance to work with a wide variety of engineering teams from across the company.

Adobe aims to make Adobe.com accessible to any and all users. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation to navigate our website or complete the application process, email [email protected] or call (408) 536-3015.
