In this role, you will build Spectrum-based Android components and help mobile product teams at Adobe use them effectively. You will participate in key planning activities, such as feature discovery, system architecture, requirements definition, project scope, and delivery. You will play a key role in ensuring Spectrum is available for our customers in a timely, stable, and scalable way. And, just as importantly, you will contribute to building a collaborative, friendly and vibrant engineering culture within Adobe Design.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with the Spectrum design team to ensure our design system's aesthetic is built into our Android components, all while maintaining an idiomatic API
• Partner with product teams to define, build, support, and validate implementations of Spectrum in Adobe's Android products
• Understand and derive data from designs, map data to clear abstractions, and integrate that design data into our components
• Write clarifying documentation to communicate our engineering approach, support contributors, perform code reviews, and help improve the predictability and stability of our libraries
• Help communicate product engineering concerns back to design, and help drive process improvements to address concerns
• Assist in the discovery and delivery of fixes needed for our components
