The Opportunity

Bridgeway is Adobe’s agentic marketing partner for small businesses and solopreneurs — photographers, estheticians, fitness coaches, bakers, contractors — the people running a business with no marketing team behind them. We’re building software that acts like a great marketing hire, not another tool to learn

What Great looks like

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on building scalable, AI-native systems at high velocity. Bridgeway runs like a startup — a small, talent-dense team bringing startup speed inside Adobe.

We look for builders who have shipped — engineers who have launched real-world systems, scaled products, and take deep pride in craft and execution over specific titles or pedigrees.

Everyone on our team operates across three lenses: product, system design, and execution. That means strong architectural judgment, production-quality code, and product-level reasoning. What sets people apart isn't which of the three they can do — it's how seamlessly they bring them together.

• Architectural Judgment: Know what to build and how to scale it. Build clean, modular architecture that supports rapid iteration while staying resilient under load.
• Product-Minded Engineering: Understand our core user — a solo business owner with 90 seconds to spare — and make technical trade-offs that directly serve user simplicity and speed.
• AI-Native Velocity: Harness AI tools and modern dev workflows like instruments — rapid prototyping, automated testing, and accelerated implementation — shipping in days
• End-to-End Ownership: Own features and systems end-to-end: system design, API development, integration, deployment, and performance monitoring.

The Challenge

• Scale Core Infrastructure: Build production-ready backend services and APIs that ensure fast response times, high availability, and seamless scalability.
• Champion Simplicity: Cut through technical complexity to deliver effortless, lightning-fast end-user experiences tailored for non-technical SMB owners.
• Bridge Design & Engineering: Partner closely with design engineers to turn high-fidelity concepts and rapid prototypes into robust production software without loss of fidelity.
• Elevate System Quality: Establish patterns, shared libraries, and dev tools that raise the baseline engineering quality and velocity across the team.

What is Needed to Succeed

• Strong Technical Foundation: 8+ years of experience in modern full-stack or backend engineering (TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, microservices, cloud infrastructure).
• AI & Agentic Systems Expertise: Hands-on experience or genuine passion for working with LLMs, prompt orchestration, agentic frameworks, and AI workflows.
• AI-Assisted Development: Natural adoption of modern AI coding assistants to write code, test, and debug faster without sacrificing quality or system stability.
• Customer Focus: driving engineering decisions based on real user value rather than tech for tech’s sake.
