Introduction
Do you have a passion for building high-quality, well-designed mobile user interfaces, and helping solve design and engineering problems at scale? Do you excel in working with multi-functional teams of engineers and designers, delving into complex issues surrounding Android application architecture and striving for design perfection and consistency? Adobe Design is looking for a Staff Design Engineer to join our Spectrum Design System team, focused on Android development. 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 help mobile product teams at Adobe build and use Spectrum-based Android components. You will participate in key planning activities, such as feature discovery, system architecture, requirements definition, project scope, and delivery. You will have direct ownership of technical direction and 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 help us continue to build a collaborative, friendly and vibrant engineering culture within Adobe Design.
What you’ll do
• Collaborate with our design team to ensure Spectrum's visual aesthetic and user experience is built into our Android component libraries while maintaining an idiomatic API for our customers
• Lead architectural discussions and help build technical alignment both on our team and across product team boundaries
• Understand and derive data from designs, map data to clear abstractions, and integrate that design data
• Partner with internal product teams to define, build, support, and validate implementations of Spectrum in Adobe’s products.
• 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 Spectrum library
What you need to succeed
Must-Haves
• Specialist understanding of building performant and complex UI components in the Android ecosystem, ideally having direct experience with the Android Studio, Kotlin, and Java. (5+ 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, the process of contribution to open source development, and performing peer code reviews
• Solid understanding of UI accessibility practices, standards, and testing methods
• Practice working closely with designers, including a strong understanding of how to convert a design into code
• A pragmatic, collaborative and open-minded outlook, and a high degree of comfort working in a fast-paced environment
• Practice with open development, collaborative code reviews, and providing detailed feedback to other team members
• Comfortable driving improvements to overall library architecture, testing processes, and external integrations.
Nice-to-Haves
• Familiarity with the concepts behind design systems and how they are being applied in product development
• Hands-on usage of build, test, and release methods; such as compilers, linting, CI/CD tooling, software testing and validation techniques, and modern dev-ops practices
• Experience working with partners to inform product roadmap planning
