Join Adobe’s Security Engineering team as a Software Development Engineer 2 (Security) and help shape the future of security tooling and automation across the organization. In this role, you’ll design and build scalable, secure systems from the ground up—driving real-world impact by enhancing Adobe’s infrastructure and application security through smart automation and streamlined processes.

We’re looking for an experienced developer with a strong security mindset—someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about delivering reliable, scalable tools that solve complex security challenges.

What You’ll Do

• Build, test, and maintain scalable and resilient security tools that help mitigate vulnerabilities and automate manual tasks.

• Integrate and extend third-party security tools to meet Adobe’s unique needs.

• Collaborate with cross-functional security teams (e.g., Architects, Security Partners) to define, design, and deliver custom solutions.

• Continuously evaluate emerging security tools and make recommendations based on Adobe’s needs.

• Provide on-call support for urgent security incidents, including off-hours and weekends.

• Create clear, detailed documentation to support long-term maintenance and scaling.

• Contribute to maturing our internal tools, best practices, and engineering processes.

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.

• 3+ years of experience developing security-focused tools or software.

• Solid understanding of modern security principles, practices, and tools.

• Hands-on experience with AWS security services (e.g., IAM, GuardDuty, CloudTrail); experience with Azure or GCP is a plus.

• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language—Python preferred.

• Familiarity with web development frameworks such as AngularJS or ReactJS.

• Strong grasp of DevSecOps practices and experience building/supporting containerized systems.

• Comfortable working in Linux environments, including scripting, troubleshooting, and system administration.

• Experience with modern infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CloudFormation.

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex systems.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic team environment.

• Growth mindset and a focus on delivering long-term, sustainable solutions.
   

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Be a strong collaborator who builds trust and inspires confidence.

• Influence and communicate effectively with peers, stakeholders, and leadership.

• Focus on outcomes, not personal preferences—prioritizing what’s best for the team and the business.

• Think creatively and solve complex problems with minimal direction.
