Responsibilities

Design and prototype agent-based systems for engineering workflows such as CI diagnostics, code review automation, build failure triage, and autonomous debugging

Develop multi-agent orchestration patterns with structured state, memory, and control boundaries

Rapidly evaluate emerging AI frameworks, agent tooling, and developer AI platforms in real-world engineering environments

Build reusable orchestration layers and service architectures for AI-powered engineering systems

Develop structured evaluation pipelines including trace-based evaluation and regression testing for agent behavior

Implement feedback loops and instrumentation that continuously improve AI system performance

Convert experimental workflows into secure, scalable, production-grade services

Implement observability, tracing, cost controls, and model routing

Ensure reliability, operational stability, and measurable impact of AI-powered systems

Define internal standards for AI experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring

Partner with DevEx, CI/CD, and platform teams across Creative Cloud to embed AI-native capabilities

Build cohesive infrastructure that prevents tool sprawl and enables reusable AI productivity systems across teams
