Adobe Inc., San Jose, California, United States, 95199
Overview
Our Company
Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences. We are committed to equal opportunity and value ideas from all parts of the organization. Role summary
Be the executive technical face of
Firefly Foundry
for Media & Entertainment. You'll partner with studio, streaming, network, sports, and gaming executives (CIO, CCO, CMO, CTO, Head of Post) to reinvent content pipelines with Firefly—taking initiatives from pilot to global rollout—using Firefly, Creative Cloud, and groundbreaking new Foundry workflows and technologies. What you'll do
Own architecture
for strategic M&E accounts: define target architectures for high-scale asset generation (key art, AV promos, trailers/teasers, localizations, episodic marketing), set go/no-go criteria, and chair C-suite design reviews.
Codify reference patterns : creative workflow blueprints for prompt/evaluation pipelines, variant generation at scale, approvals, and cost/performance guardrails, including end-to-end propagation of content and distribution.
Unblock the hardest problems : lead spikes for brand/style constraints, visual fidelity, latency/throughput for campaign bursts, multilingual quality, and watermarking/attribution.
Integrate the stack : design integrations across Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Substance 3D, Frame.io), Firefly APIs/Services, Workfront, and enterprise DAM/MAM; ensure a single source of truth from presales to delivery.
Partner ecosystem : co-create blueprints with customers; validate partner delivery against Firefly Foundry standards.
Executive storytelling : run C-suite workshops, publish POVs on content authenticity and responsible GenAI, and keynote customer forums and industry events.
Value & outcomes : translate creative and business priorities into measurable ROI/TCO and success metrics; influence expansions.
What you'll bring
Must-have 12+ years architecting and shipping large-scale platforms or content/ML systems; 3+ years leading enterprise GenAI/AI programs.
Deep understanding of M&E production and marketing workflows (campaign bursts, trailer/versioning, localization, approvals, deliverables).
Proficiency in GenAI solution patterns: prompt design & evaluation, guardrails, observability/measurement, vectorized retrieval or style constraints where relevant, and cost governance.
Hands-on with at least one major cloud, Python/TypeScript, and modern data/AI tooling; ability to read code and guide design trade-offs.
Nice-to-have Background in broadcast/OTT, sports, gaming, or live events; familiarity with post-production pipelines and marketing tech stacks.
Prior Field CTO/Field Engineering leadership or consulting partner experience.
Expansions driven by reference patterns and executive satisfaction (C-suite CSAT).
Collaboration
Partner daily with Firefly Foundry Engagement Managers, Solutions Architecture, Forward Deployed Engineering and Scientist, Product (Firefly/Express/Photoshop/Premiere/After Effects/Frame.io), Customer Success, Security/Privacy/Legal, and Partner/Alliances teams. Work setup
Travel:
~25% to ~40% for exec workshops, studio/post visits, and key industry events.
Hybrid/Remote:
flexible.
