Senior Software Development Engineer - Security

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 **About Adobe** Adobe empowers everyone to create through innovative platforms and tools that unleash creativity, productivity and personalized customer experiences.
