Engineers wanted to help scale Adobe’s business by delivering value through our Platform Services.

Adobe Edinburgh’s engineering centre creates and operates key technologies serving Adobe’s business both now and in the future. As part of the Cloud Technology unit, our mission is to invent the technologies that allow our product leaders’ dreams to come true. We work to solve problems at a scale few other companies face.

We build high availability and low maintenance workflow orchestration services. Our services and APIs play a critical role for Adobe customers before and after they make their purchases, supporting individual hobbyists through to multinational enterprises. When our customers manage their Creative Cloud subscription, our APIs are behind the scenes.

When multinational advertising agencies and social networking companies need to map thousands of users from their IT system to Adobe’s identity system, they use the APIs created in Edinburgh.

When customers receive an email welcoming them to their Adobe account, that’s constructed and sent by our systems. Sounds simple, but our team coordinates upwards of 40 other systems and services to enable our customers to tell their stories and create new experiences.

Our Adobe Edinburgh engineering centre also builds and runs a real-time messaging platform for distributed intersystem communication that is at the heart of Adobe’s $15 billion annual revenues.
