## Description

Firefly Enterprise brings Adobe's generative AI and creative technology into the heart of enterprise content production. We're looking for a Principal Scientist to be the technical anchor of a small, fast-growing team.

**Impact You'll Make**

- Set the long-term technical architecture and vision across both charter areas.

- Make enterprise-scale reliability and resiliency a first-class property of everything the team ships.

- Bring AI capabilities into the product and into how the team builds, raising both customer value and engineering velocity.

- Grow a scaling team of software and machine-learning engineers through hands-on work and mentorship.

- Turn customer and field insight into a credible, deliverable roadmap in partnership with adjacent teams.

**What You'll Do**

- Own the architecture for enterprise-scale audio/video media-processing pipelines.

- Architect the extensibility platform: agentic enterprise workflows and plug-ins that expose Firefly's enterprise capabilities inside Figma and other Adobe creative apps.

- Stay hands-on by writing code, leading design and architecture reviews, and setting the engineering standards the team builds to.

- Mentor developers and specialists in machine learning alike, growing their technical judgment through the work.

- Play an instrumental role in hiring: interview, calibrate, and keep the bar high.

- Interface directly with customers and field/sales teams to identify real problems and collaborate across adjacent teams to shape the roadmap and deliver solutions.

**What You'll Bring**

- 15+ years building large-scale distributed software systems.

- Proven experience operating at enterprise scale with a deep focus on reliability and resiliency.

- Strong backend engineering in Java, Python, or comparable technologies, with a solid command of distributed systems and cloud-native platforms.

- Experience with at least one of the team's two domains: media processing or extensibility.

- A track record of mentoring both software engineers and machine-learning engineers and raising the technical bar across a team.
