Our Company

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 opportunity 

Do you like solving complex problems and building systems that scale? Adobe Design is seeking a senior designer to join our growing Extensibility team for Adobe Express. We are designing next-generation experiences for our wide range of customers—from pro creatives to creative communicators. Your work would include adding to extensibility experiences of partners large and small. You can help craft the future of third-party and first-party extensibility at Adobe. 

What you'll do

You will collaborate with a team of innovative designers and cross-functional partners who are steadfast advocates for our users. 

You’ll design the forward-thinking experiences of how our users discover and use Adobe Express and Firefly as mini, embedded experiences in the places that they work across the web, which includes our partner integrations that embed our creative superpowers on first- and third-party surfaces. Our team also empowers developers to build on top of our apps and services to enable our tools to reach new heights. 

You’re not a stranger to navigating ambiguity and your ability to lead strategy through to concrete execution is key. To be successful you’ll need to drive close collaboration across design teams, as well as product management, and engineering partners. You’ll convey design through compelling stories—via sketches, storyboards, hi-fidelity mockups, and/or prototypes—and be confident presenting both to leadership and across the design team.
