The opportunity
Do you have a passion for pixel-perfect iOS designs, solving problems at scale, and building complex tools? Adobe Design is seeking a Senior Design Engineer to join our Spectrum Design Engineering team. We bridge design and technology, providing Adobe with tools, infrastructure, and services that enable design consistency across a range of products. Your role will help iOS product teams build with Spectrum-based components, using design data to ensure implementation accuracy.
These components will be used across multiple products. Senior team members participate in key planning activities, such as feature discovery, system architecture, requirements definition, project scope, and delivery. Overall, this role has direct ownership and plays a key role in ensuring Spectrum is available for our customers in a timely, stable, and scalable way.
What you’ll do
Collaborate with the Spectrum design team to ensure Spectrum's aesthetic is built into our libraries while maintaining an idiomatic iOS API for library consumers.
Understand and derive data from designs, map data to clear abstractions, and integrate that design data into the Spectrum framework using patterns expected by iOS developers.
Partner with internal product teams to define, build, support, and validate implementations of Spectrum in Adobe’s iOS products.
Work with various toolsets and teams to understand design’s requirements and communicate engineering concerns back to design.
Assist in the discovery and delivery of fixes needed for Spectrum implementation gaps
