Computer Scientist - II (C++) at Adobe

The Opportunity Adobe builds products that power millions of customer experiences worldwide. Behind these products are sophisticated software systems operating at scale, where efficiency, dependability, safety, and engineering excellence are fundamental requirements. We are looking for a Computer Scientist-II with deep C++ expertise who enjoys solving complex technical problems and taking ownership of significant areas of the product. You will develop architecture, build high-performance software, make critical technical decisions, and influence solutions that span modules and groups. We value engineers who are dedicated and proactive. They challenge assumptions, solve root problems, make practical tradeoffs, and take responsibility for improving the systems they own. They focus on making these systems better, more reliable, and easier to evolve. What You'll Do Take responsibility for and develop significant technical areas end-to-end — from understanding ambiguous problems and defining the right solution through architecture, implementation, production validation, and long-term evolution. Design and build high-performance C++ systems , making thoughtful decisions around architecture, concurrency, memory management, resource utilization, and scalability. Drive technical direction for complex problems — evaluate alternatives, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and influence architecture decisions across components and teams. Solve problems at the root — identify systemic causes rather than treating symptoms, and drive durable solutions that reduce recurring issues and technical debt. Own outcomes, not just tasks — proactively identify gaps, risks, and opportunities and drive them to closure with little supervision. Solve complex problems across boundaries , collaborating with engineers, architects, product managers, and other teams to deliver cohesive solutions. Raise the engineering bar through architecture and code reviews, performance optimization, testing, and engineering
