Introduction
Do you have a passion for building high-quality, well-designed mobile user interfaces? Do you excel in working with multi-functional teams of engineers and designers, delving into complex issues in user interface development while striving for design excellence and consistency? Adobe Design is looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join our Spectrum Design System team, with a focus on Android UI component engineering. On the Spectrum team, we bridge design and technology, providing Adobe with tools, components, infrastructure, and services that enable design precision and consistent, fully accessible user experiences across a range of products.
The opportunity
In this role, you will build Spectrum-based Android components and help mobile product teams at Adobe use them effectively. You will participate in key planning activities, such as feature discovery, system architecture, requirements definition, project scope, and delivery. You will play a key role in ensuring Spectrum is available for our customers in a timely, stable, and scalable way. And, just as importantly, you will contribute to building a collaborative, friendly and vibrant engineering culture within Adobe Design.
What you’ll do
• Collaborate with the Spectrum design team to ensure our design system’s aesthetic is built into our Android components, all while maintaining an idiomatic API
• Partner with product teams to define, build, support, and validate implementations of Spectrum in Adobe’s Android products
• Understand and derive data from designs, map data to clear abstractions, and integrate that design data into our components
• Write clarifying documentation to communicate our engineering approach, support contributors, perform code reviews, and help improve the predictability and stability of our libraries
• Help communicate product engineering concerns back to design, and help drive process improvements to address concerns
• Assist in the discovery and delivery of fixes needed for our components
What you need to succeed
Must-Haves
• Strong understanding of how to build performant and complex UI components in the Android ecosystem, ideally having direct experience with the Android Studio, Kotlin, and Java (3+ years)
• Passion and desire for building user interface components with meticulous attention to design details
• Experience building and supporting frameworks or SDKs used by other developers
• Experience with git and GitHub
• Practice with open development and providing detailed feedback to other team members
• Understanding of UI accessibility practices, standards, and testing methods
• Practice working closely with designers, including experience converting detailed designs into code
• A pragmatic, collaborative and open-minded outlook, and a high degree of comfort working in a fast-paced environment
Nice-to-Haves
• Familiarity with the concepts behind design systems and how they are applied in product development
• Hands-on usage of build, test, and release methods; such as linting, CI/CD tooling, software testing and validation techniques, and modern dev-ops practices
• Experience working with partners to inform product roadmap planning
