AI Engineer Jobs at Adobe with Visa Sponsorship

Senior SRE — RTCDP Datastores & AI/ML Ops

Adobe’s Real-Time Customer Data Platform (RTCDP) powers personalized experiences for some of the world’s largest brands. As a Senior SRE on this team, you’ll be central to keeping RTCDP reliable, scalable, and operationally excellent at global scale. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the intersection of production operations (Day 2 ownership) and core datastore engineering, with a growing surface area in operationalizing AI/ML services and workflows.

What You’ll Do

Own production reliability

- Own day-to-day reliability for RTCDP services — availability, performance, and durability against SLOs
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response, driving mitigation and recovery through SEV3–SEV1 events
- Lead post-incident reviews and follow-up work
- Strengthen operational readiness, playbooks, and on-call health
- Partner with product and platform teams on production-ready launches and regional expansions

Operate and evolve core datastores

You’ll work across RTCDP’s distributed datastore ecosystem: Aerospike, FoundationDB, Postgres, and CosmosDB/DynamoDB.
- Drive reliability, scaling, and operational excellence across these platforms
- Own upgrades, capacity management, backup/restore, and DR testing
- Build automation for provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management
- Identify and ship cost optimizations (rightsizing, storage/compute efficiency)

Drive automation and observability

- Build automation-first solutions that reduce toil and improve system safety
- Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability — anchored to real customer impact
- Establish standardized operational patterns across services and regions
- Support the rollout of SLO-driven reliability practices

Contribute to AI/ML Ops (emerging area)

A complementary part of the role, not the primary focus.
- Support infrastructure and operational needs for AI/ML-powered services in RTCDP
- Shape operational practices for model serving and data pipelines — reliability, scaling, monitoring
- Help land core MLOps patterns where relevant: model deployment workflows, inference observability (latency, errors), data quality and pipeline reliability signals
- Partner with ML and data teams to get AI-driven features production-ready
- Leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, internal tooling) to accelerate debugging, incident response, and operational workflows

Technical leadership and collaboration

- Operate as a strong IC and technical lead on cross-cutting projects
- Mentor junior engineers and raise team practices
- Partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, and security
- Live the core SRE/DevOps principles: ownership, automation, error budgets, continuous improvement

Why this role is interesting

- Deep involvement in production systems at global scale
- Hands-on ownership spanning operations and datastore platforms
- Exposure to next-generation work: AI/ML systems and AI-assisted engineering
- Direct impact on customer reliability, platform scalability, and cost
- A clear path toward architect-level influence over time

What We’re Looking For

- 6–10 years in SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering
- Proven track record operating large-scale distributed systems in production
- Strong foundation in datastores, reliability engineering, and automation
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments, a major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and modern observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalents)
- Real experience in incident response and driving operational improvements out of it
- Working knowledge of — or genuine interest in — AI/ML systems or MLOps (expertise not required)
- Comfortable with scale, ambiguity, and high ownership
- Strong problem-solving instincts and a bias for action
