The Opportunity

Experience Edge is an Adobe Experience Platform initiative that provides a single, optimized gateway for requests that want to interact with other Adobe Experience Cloud edge services, such as Adobe Target, Adobe Audience Manager, and Adobe Analytics. As a result, customers will simply need to deploy one SDK on their website to leverage server-side services, greatly improve performance, and streamline their path to value.

We build technology that can withstand 100 billion requests per day across the globe, millions of request per second and answer complex queries in under 500 milliseconds.

For this we need your help. If you already have expertise in developing JVM (Java, Kotlin, Scala) applications and web services and if you are interested in learning technologies specific to the Big Data world, we would be very interested in talking to you to explore a possible collaboration.

• Be genuine, serve as a mentor, cultivate a collaborative environment and encourage and guide team members by being honest and direct.
