Adobe

Adobe's source code is one of the most diverse engineering landscapes in the industry — hundreds of languages, thousands of developers, and terabytes code in repositories spanning products built in-house (and through decades of acquisitions). The Kodiak team builds and operates the platform that makes sense of all of it: an enterprise-scale security scanning system that analyzes code across Adobe. We surface security risks before they reach production and help eradicate classes of risk in all of our source code.
 
This is a software engineering focused role and your impact will scale through the Adobe engineering workforce. If you want to own hard engineering problems at enterprise scale and have your work matter to thousands of engineers, this position is perfect for you.
 What you'll Do
 Create features across Kodiak's source code scanning platform — from backend services and data pipelines, to APIs and developer-facing tooling
 Develop and manage distributed systems on AWS and Kubernetes at Adobe enterprise scale, including ownership of reliability, performance, and observability
 Integrate AI and ML capabilities into the scanning platform that helps surface actionable, context-aware findings to developers
 Own and evolve the platform's interface, enabling engineering teams across Adobe to integrate scanning into their build and deployment workflows
 Debug and resolve complex issues in distributed systems, driving production reliability improvements and post-incident learning
 Shape technical direction and mentor teammates — this role is high-ownership where you will shape problems, not just close tickets What you need to succeed
 Bachelor's Degree or 5+ years of equivalent experience building services
 Proven ability to build and operate production-grade Python services — backend engineering at scale, this is not a scripting project
 Experience designing and operating distributed systems, including event-driven or async architectures
 Hands-on experience creating cloud native services using container technologies
 Strong API design skills and experience building APIs consumed by multiple downstream teams
 Excellent communication skills, written and verbal — you work effectively across a geographically distributed team and with engineering customers across the company
 Experience with automated dependency management tooling (e.g., Renovate) a plus

Posting Statement
Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that&rsquo;s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications &ndash; without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
