Senior AI Engineer, Agentic Governance

Description

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to build Agentic Governance services in Adobe's Experience Platform team.

Trust and Governance builds the services that enable our enterprise customers to trust us with their data: access control, data usage policies and lineage enforcement, catalog, privacy and consent, audit and security capabilities such as customer-managed keys. Agentic Governance extends these foundations to AI agents: who an agent is, what it may do, and a verifiable record of what it did.

You will design, build, deploy, and own production-grade services at Adobe scale, while gaining exposure to groundbreaking agentic AI and governance technologies.

Responsibilities

• Build, develop, and manage services supporting agentic governance across audit, catalog, consent, and authorization-like domains.
• Implement authorization, policy, and identity components using Python, integrating with existing Java-based services where needed.
• Ship an AI agent capability to production, including tool calling / MCP integration, coordination, assessments, and safeguards.
• Build and maintain well-tested APIs and backend services, following strong engineering fundamentals.
• Deploy and operate services in cloud environments, taking ownership of reliability and performance, including on-call.
• Take initiative and ownership of assigned platform development efforts, optimizing for reliability, scalability, and security of agentic systems.
• Collaborate with senior engineers, architects, and product partners across engineering, security, and privacy to help shape governance standards for agentic systems.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
• What You Need to Succeed
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including hands-on work building an LLM or agent feature used in production or by internal users, with tools, skills, evals, and guardrails.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Solid backend fundamentals: building and testing APIs, and deploying services to the cloud.
• Experience with storing and retrieving data (SQL or NoSQL DBs).
• Experience with cloud service platforms (AWS and/or Azure).
• Excellent communication skills, proficiency in English, both verbal and written.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum project management methodologies.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Java/JVM experience, enough to integrate with existing services.
• Experience with observability tools and distributed tracing.
• Familiarity with governance concepts such as RBAC/ABAC, OAuth/OIDC, or policy engines.
