Adobe Experience Platform powers real-time, data-driven customer experiences at global scale! The Konductor and Data Prep teams build and operate the core ingestion, routing, and schema enforcement services that process millions of events per second across Adobe’s Edge Network. These are highly distributed, latency-sensitive systems where reliability, correctness, and isolation between downstream consumers are essential.
This role is perfect for engineers who enjoy large-scale distributed systems, high-throughput pipelines, and working with strong data contracts. It’s a chance to tackle challenging problems at the platform level, where every decision affects data quality, latency, and operational excellence.
What the Role Involves
The team designs and runs high-throughput, low-latency services that power event fan-out (Konductor) and ingestion-time transformations (Data Prep). Responsibilities include ensuring reliable delivery with ordering guarantees, managing backpressure, implementing schema-aware transformations based on Adobe’s Experience Data Model (XDM), and maintaining failure isolation, retries, and idempotency across distributed systems. Collaboration with Edge Network, Profile, and downstream teams ensures ingestion contracts remain stable.
Key focus areas include:
This is backend-heavy, systems-focused work, with minimal UI involvement — ideal for engineers who love solving complex distributed problems at scale!
What’s Needed to Succeed
Strong candidates typically have:
Nice-to-have skills (advantageous but not mandatory):
Contract duration: 1 year, with possibility of extension
Employment type: Only CIM contract
Work setup: Hybrid, 2–3 days per week in the office
