Computer Scientist

Join the team building Adobe’s Frame.io platform, powering next-generation video collaboration and media workflows at global scale. This role is centered on quality engineering and product-driven development, where you’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and engineering teams to ensure high-quality, reliable, and scalable systems. You’ll play a key role in shaping not just how systems are built—but how they are validated, tested, and delivered with confidence. You’ll operate in a cloud-native, distributed systems environment, contributing to microservices architectures and modern frontend applications that handle millions of assets and high-throughput workloads. This is a high-impact role for someone who cares deeply about system quality, user experience, and engineering excellence, and wants to influence how products are built end-to-end.

What You’ll Do
• Drive quality engineering practices across the stack, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance

• Collaborate closely with product managers to translate requirements into robust, testable solutions

• Build and maintain cloud-native microservices using TypeScript/JavaScript and Python (with exposure to Go/Elixir)
• Design and implement automated testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to- end, performance)

• Contribute to API design and validation for distributed systems (REST/GraphQL)
• Work on event-driven architectures and asynchronous systems
• Partner with engineering teams to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle, not just at the end

• Improve observability, monitoring, and debugging capabilities across services
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and release processes with a strong focus on quality and maintainability
• Advocate for best practices in testing, reliability, and system design

What You Need to Succeed
1. Core Technical Skills
• 4–8 years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on quality engineering / testable system design

o Automated testing frameworks
o Integration and end-to-end testing strategies
o Performance and reliability testing
• Strong focus on code quality, testability, and maintainability
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and quality gates☁️

4.Cloud & Infrastructure
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP)
• Familiarity with:
o Docker, Kubernetes
o Observability and monitoring tools
 

5. Collaboration & Product Mindset
• Proven experience working closely with product managers and cross-
functional teams
• Ability to balance product velocity with system quality and reliability
