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 TEAM
You will be joining the newly formed Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE) team within Adobe’s Digital Experience organization. As part of a key innovation initiative, our mandate is to bridge the gap between product engineering and real-world implementation. We are a team of world-class engineers dedicated to solving the most complex challenges for the world's largest companies, ensuring they extract maximum value from the Adobe ecosystem.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a chance to join a "startup within a giant." As a Forward Deployment Engineer, you will be the hands-on builder bridging the gap between Adobe’s core products and real-world customer needs. You won’t just be writing tickets in a backlog; you will be onsite (or virtual) with customer engineering teams, rapidly prototyping solutions, and writing the code that connects the Adobe Experience Cloud to the world’s largest enterprises. If you love to hack on complex problems, ship code fast, and see immediate impact, this is your team.
- Build and Ship Fast: Rapidly design and implement features and integrations based on immediate customer requirements, moving quickly from "whiteboard sketch" to working code.
- AI-Driven Prototyping: Experiment with Generative AI and agentic workflows to create novel demos and automation tools that showcase the future of the Adobe ecosystem.
- Production-Grade Engineering: Write clean, efficient, and testable Java/Scala code for high-availability systems and RESTful APIs.
- Solve the Puzzle: Troubleshoot complex integration issues in real-time, performing root cause analysis when services don't behave as expected.
- Collaborate & Learn: Partner with senior architects to understand the "why" behind the build, while providing feedback to product teams on how customers are actually using our APIs and AI features.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 3+ years of software engineering experience with strong fundamentals in Java or Scala.
- Experience building backend services using frameworks like Spring Boot.
- Familiarity with LLM Development: You have used APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to build applications and understand the basics of prompt engineering and context management.
- Solid understanding of REST API concepts and how to consume/build web services.
- Practical experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (you know how to write a query and design a basic schema).
- A "hacker" mindset: You are curious, you learn new technologies quickly, and you enjoy finding creative workarounds to technical blockers.
BONUS POINTS (DESIRED EXTRAS)
We are looking for well-rounded engineers who love technology. Any of the following are a huge plus:
- Agentic Frameworks: Experience playing with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or AutoGPT concepts to build autonomous agents.
- RAG Knowledge: Understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (vector databases, embeddings) to ground LLM responses in real data.
- Full-Stack Curiosity: Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) to build complete end-to-end demos.
- Side Projects & Hackathons: A GitHub profile showing personal projects—especially those involving AI wrappers, chatbots, or automation tools.
- Cloud Playground: Experience deploying your own apps to AWS, Azure, or GCP (e.g., deploying a Python AI bot on Lambda).
- Data Tinkering: Basic exposure to data streaming (Kafka) or big data tools; you aren't afraid of large datasets.
This role is eligible for bonus and equity. 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 $139,000 - $257,550 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.
In California, the pay range for this position is $177,900 - $257,550.
In Washington, the pay range for this position is $161,700 - $234,150.
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 sales commission plans. 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.
STATE-SPECIFIC NOTICES:
California: Fair Chance Ordinances
Adobe will consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records for employment in accordance with state and local laws and “fair chance” ordinances.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Customer Engineer Jobs at Adobe Jobs
Align your background with Adobe's technical stack
Adobe Customer Engineer roles typically require hands-on experience with digital experience platforms, APIs, or martech ecosystems. Before applying, position your resume around Adobe Experience Cloud products or comparable enterprise SaaS implementations to signal immediate readiness.
Target open roles tied to enterprise verticals
Adobe's Customer Engineer hiring often clusters around financial services, retail, and media verticals. Filtering job listings by these segments helps you identify postings where your industry experience strengthens your application beyond technical qualifications alone.
Clarify your visa category before the offer stage
Adobe sponsors multiple visa types for this role, so confirming which category applies to your situation early prevents delays. If you're on F-1 OPT, verify your STEM extension eligibility and E-Verify enrollment status before your offer letter is drafted.
Build a portfolio demonstrating pre-sales technical depth
Adobe Customer Engineer interviews typically include technical discovery exercises or solution demonstrations. Documenting past proof-of-concept work, integration projects, or client-facing technical presentations gives interviewers concrete evidence your skills translate directly to the role.
Understand how LCA wage levels affect your offer
DOL Labor Condition Application requirements tie your offer to prevailing wage levels for your work location. If Adobe's offer falls at a lower wage level than expected, you can negotiate using DOL's wage data as a reference point before the LCA is filed.
Use Migrate Mate to track Adobe's active openings
Adobe posts Customer Engineer roles across multiple business units, and openings can close quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter Adobe's current listings by visa type, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already confirmed rather than assumed.

Find Customer Engineer at Adobe JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Adobe sponsor H-1B visas for Customer Engineers?
Yes, Adobe sponsors H-1B visas for Customer Engineer roles. Because H-1B is subject to the annual lottery, timing matters. Adobe typically participates in the H-1B registration window each March, so if you're targeting this path, your application process needs to align with that cycle. Premium processing is available for faster USCIS adjudication once a petition is filed.
Which visa types does Adobe commonly sponsor for Customer Engineer roles?
Adobe sponsors a range of visa categories for Customer Engineers, including H-1B, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for eligible students, J-1, and EB-2 or EB-3 for permanent residence. The right category depends on your nationality, education, and where you are in your career timeline.
What qualifications does Adobe expect for Customer Engineer roles?
Adobe Customer Engineer positions generally require a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, alongside hands-on experience with enterprise software implementations or digital marketing platforms. Familiarity with Adobe Experience Cloud products, APIs, or cloud infrastructure strengthens your candidacy. Client-facing experience in a pre-sales or solutions engineering capacity is frequently expected at mid-to-senior levels.
How do I apply for Customer Engineer jobs at Adobe?
You can find and apply for Customer Engineer roles at Adobe through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm Adobe is sponsoring your specific category before you apply. Once you identify a role, tailor your application to highlight enterprise technical experience and any Adobe product familiarity, then prepare for a multi-stage interview process that typically includes technical assessments and solution demonstrations.
How do I plan my timeline if I need H-1B sponsorship for an Adobe Customer Engineer role?
The H-1B lottery registration opens each March for an October 1 start date, so you need an accepted offer before your employer can register you. If you're on F-1 OPT, you can begin work before October 1 under the cap-gap provision while your petition is pending. Starting your Adobe job search at least six months before your current work authorization expires gives you enough runway to navigate the lottery and USCIS processing.
