In the last 6 months, agentic development has taken off – changing how software is built. We have a clear vision on how to embrace it, and an engineering org already in motion. We need a product leader to take the spark and own the connection with the builders we serve. They will turn it into strategy and keep evolving that strategy as frameworks, tools, and processes change.
Join us in the ABX org, where agentic development is the platform – a managed harness that 15,000 builders at Adobe will use to ship software with AI. Every improvement you will make compounds across engineering, product, and design, on most codebases at Adobe!
This is a build role. You'll develop the strategy, build the organizational framework from the ground up, and set the bar for what agentic development looks like at Adobe.
The Builders Experience strategy. Take an articulated-but-evolving vision and transform it into written strategy, roadmap, and objective measures of success. Expect it to change continuously as the models, harnesses, and internal processes evolve.
The platform spanning all three modes of agentic development. ABX will serve builders wherever they are on the curve, and make each mode repeatable:
The objectives and key results (OKRs). Platform adoption → per-engineer output → per-employee productivity → business impact. We start with adoption and build up to the rest.
The relationship with the builders. Deepen trust with the Adobe Builders community, as past decisions on models and tooling created friction. You'll build the engagement mechanisms for a real partnership, and act as chief marketer and evangelist for the platform across the org!
Build vs. buy. Own the decision process for which external models and tools we deploy. Know the latest across the labs, hyperscalers, and open-weights - and make high-conviction calls amid an embarrassment of riches.
Execution. Relentless focus on shipping. Remove bottlenecks, streamline how the team communicates, and automate our own SDLC intelligently - designing the moments where humans stay in the loop so judgment and taste get applied at the junctures that matter.
The operating model. Design how this team runs, in partnership with engineering. It must be agentic itself - we build the system with our system and eat our own dog food. Expect AI pods with real ownership, some led by non-PMs and product-design-engineer (PDE) profiles, not the classic backlog-and-execute approach.
A small PM team. Direct one PM today (who owns external-tool deployment decisions) and grow the org as the mandate expands - setting the hiring bar and the culture as you go.
