Join a globally diverse team that both builds and finds best-of-breed tools to bring critical Observability services to all of Adobe. Our team embodies DevOps, as our responsibilities range from crafting new tools and UIs to maintaining and supporting one of the largest logging deployments in the industry, in partnership with other observability tools.
We’re a close-knit team dedicated to providing a robust platform, supporting both Adobe’s engineering teams and each other. We need a new Developer to help shape and implement Adobe’s observability strategy.
If you enjoy owning complex, high-impact problems where your work directly moves the needle for Adobe’s engineering community, come talk to us.

- Knowledge of public and/or private cloud deployments — AWS, Azure, Data Center
- Comfortable owning on-call coverage across a multi-tool observability stack, including leading incident response for high-severity issues
Good to Have
- Experience evaluating or prototyping alternative storage/processing backends (e.g., ClickHouse, Loki) as part of platform cost reduction and scalability strategy; ability to contribute to a phased migration plan from Splunk
- Experience with other Observability tooling such as Grafana, Cortex, and Tempo
