- Work closely with internal product teams who use our APIs to build Adobe’s flagship applications.
- Contribute to a culture of learning, quality, and shared ownership.
What We’re Looking For
- Solid programming skills (we mostly use Java, but we value great engineers over specific languages).
- Experience with distributed systems and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS).
- A collaborative mindset and a passion for continuous improvement.
- Proficiency in English; German is a plus.
- Interest in automation, data engineering, or AI-assisted development.
Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)
- Experience with Spring, RESTful APIs, and NoSQL databases like DynamoDB or MongoDB.
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk.
How We Work
- We work in agile, self-organized, cross-functional engineering teams, with daily syncs, regular planning, grooming and retrospectives
- 2-3 on-site team days in the Hamburg office.
