We’re on a mission to hire the very best and are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours! Our Company Adobe is changing the world through digital experiences. We build the platforms and tools that creators and the world’s biggest brands rely on to deliver exceptional content at global scale. We’re committed to a workplace where everyone is respected, supported, and empowered to do the best work of their career. The Opportunity The next wave of automation isn’t about stitching together integrations, it’s about building a programmable, enterprise-grade runtime teams can trust in production: observable, governable, resilient, and fast. Workflow Builder is Adobe’s path to that future. We’re building an agentic, AI-first workflow runtime that orchestrates production workflows across services, tools, and systems, then elevating it with a first-class extensibility platform so customers can build custom actions and reuse them safely across workflows and teams. In this runtime, “AI-first” isn’t a bolt-on. It’s part of the execution model: workflows can include reasoning steps that plan, select tools/actions, validate outcomes, and escalate to humans when needed while staying inside enterprise guardrails. We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the runtime + extensibility foundation end-to-end. This is a high-agency platform role: you’ll define the execution model, developer surface area, governance guardrails, and the roadmap that unlocks real production adoption at enterprise scale. Who This Role Is Built For You’ll thrive here if you’re energized by: • Building platforms that enable other builders (creative technologists, solution teams, partners, customers, developers) to move faster. • Designing primitives and contracts (not one-off features) that scale across many workflows and use cases. • Crafting a developer experience that teams choose because it’s clear, composable, and reliable. • Owning hard problems in multi-tenant runtime execution: isolation, performance, observability, governance, lifecycle management. • Turning power-user needs into a system that’s approachable and production-ready, especially when workflows include AI/agentic steps.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product management experience, ideally spanning platform products, workflow/orchestration systems, developer tools, or enterprise infrastructure.
- Strong technical fluency and comfort with systems thinking APIs, distributed execution, multi-tenancy, isolation boundaries, reliability/performance trade-offs.
- Experience building extensible platforms: plugins/extensions, SDKs, “bring your own code,” custom integrations, or ecosystems with third-party builders.
- Experience shipping AI-powered systems in production (agents, orchestration, evaluation, guardrails, or human-in-the-loop patterns) or a strong track record of learning fast and leading ambiguity.
- A track record of shipping products that earn adoption because they are delightful to build on and dependable in production.
- Excellent communication and influence skills able to align executives and engineering around a crisp platform narrative and roadmap.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with workflow engines, job schedulers, event-driven architectures, or automation platforms.
- Background in enterprise governance: SSO, RBAC/ABAC, audit/compliance, customer-specific policy enforcement.
- Experience defining platform SLOs and building telemetry that improves developer and operator experience.
- Familiarity with evaluation frameworks and production quality systems for AI (automated evals, regression harnesses, feedback loops).
Responsibilities
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for the Workflow Builder runtime: orchestration, execution semantics, state, scaling, reliability, and operability.
- Own extensibility end-to-end: define how customers build, test, deploy, version, govern, and operate custom actions that execute safely within workflows, including: Packaging & distribution Versioning, compatibility, and migration strategies Authentication/authorization models Data access boundaries, secrets handling, and tenant isolation Policy enforcement, approvals, and governance controls Runtime limits, performance, and cost controls Observability (logs/metrics/traces), debugging, incident readiness
- Define the platform contracts: workflow definitions, triggers, connectors, action schemas, retries, idempotency, error handling, and SLO-backed reliability.
- Define and ship agentic runtime primitives: structured state/context, tool/action invocation, planning + execution loops, bounded autonomy, deterministic fallbacks, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- Build the trust layer for AI-first execution: permissions, policy enforcement, audit trails, evaluation hooks, and enterprise controls over what agentic steps can do.
- Partner deeply with engineering, security, and platform teams to ensure the runtime is enterprise-grade: compliance, auditing, tenancy, and secure-by-default execution.
- Drive tight discovery with enterprise adopters and internal solution teams to validate requirements and ensure the platform supports real production workloads.
- Lead cross-functional execution, aligning stakeholders, clarifying trade-offs, and shipping iteratively with measurable adoption.
