Senior Builder RTCDP Frontier Pod
AdobeBucharestPosted 24 April 2026
Job Description
The Opportunity
Adobe Real-Time CDP enables enterprises to unify customer data acrossevery source, resolve identity at scale, and activate audiences in real timeacross any channel. The platform processes billions of events, enforces datagovernance across complex enterprise hierarchies, and powers thepersonalization layer for some of the world's largest brands.
You will join one of our Frontier AI Pods — a small, cross-functional teamwith full ownership that delivers end-to-end capabilities and features askedby regional EMEA customers.
This is not a maintenance role. The capabilities are delivered fast tocustomers and your Pod iterates in making sure adoption is guaranteed.
What You'll Build
Distributed services and event-driven pipelines that process real-timecustomer data at enterprise scale
Secure data collaboration capabilities — the infrastructure that allowsorganizations to connect, share, and activate data across partnerecosystems without compromising governance
Workflow orchestration services coordinating cross-system flows acrossAEP, RTCDP, and external data platforms
Reliable, observable APIs consumed by multiple Adobe products andenterprise integrations
Production systems with defined SLOs — you own services from designthrough live operation
What Success Looks Like
We hire for demonstrated delivery, not credential accumulation. Strong candidates will show:
Correctness as a design instinct — you build distributed systemswhere data integrity, idempotency, and audit trails are first-classconcerns, not retrofits
Production ownership — a track record of shipping services thatoperate at scale, degrade gracefully, and recover without humanintervention
Customer-to-capability translation — you move fluently between whata customer needs and what the system must do, collapsing the gapbetween requirement and working platform feature
AI-augmented execution — you use AI-assisted development tools(Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) as a standard partof how you design, build, and review code
System-level thinking — you understand not only how distributedsystems work, but why the tradeoffs you made were the right ones forthe context
Typical background: 8 years building Java-based systems in production. What matters is what that experience has produced, not the number of years.
What We Value
Beyond technical execution, the engineers who grow fastest on this team demonstrate:
