OUR COMPANY
Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe’s all about. We give everyone-from emerging artists to global brands-everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We’re passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.
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!
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Are you a passionate designer ready to imagine, iterate, and execute across multiple design directions and workflows? Are you someone who favors interactive prototypes over flat mockups? Perhaps someone who also has a keen business sense and the ability to craft design directions that are creative and scale Adobe’s design products?
This is your opportunity to join a dynamic growing team, think holistically about design, and help build the future of creative tools for creative people just like you.
We are a unique team that sits at the intersection of design and product engineering. We work during the early product stages to craft fun and intuitive user experiences. Join us for an opportunity to invent new technologies and contribute to brand new and existing Adobe products!
All 2023 Adobe Interns will be ‘co-located hybrid’, meaning that you will be assigned to an Adobe office location, but in-office schedules will be flexible (2-3 days per week). All interns must live in the same state, country, and within commuting distance of their assigned Adobe office so they can be on-site as needed. Interns visiting Adobe sites must follow all applicable COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
We are a group of fun, hard-working engineers who are really passionate about the process of prototyping and believe in building outstanding user experiences in collaboration with designers and user researchers. As part of our team, you will help shape the future of creative tools using emerging technologies focused on Adobe Substance Products ecosystem.
You will build new and innovative user interactions and interfaces geared towards our customers unique needs, test and refine those interfaces in collaboration with user researchers and product teams. You will work with remote developers and designers in a highly agile and fun environment to quickly iterate on products, helping increase our customers’ efficiency as well as amplify their creativity.
Have meaningful ownership. You’ll make important decisions about the way our product looks, feels, and behaves.
Critique and be critiqued. We value a positive personality who can give and take healthy feedback, encourage and develop the team’s ideas, and generally leave ego out of it.
Help drive the design process. From early vision concepts, to wireframes, to visual design and on to pixel-perfect delivery, our team does it all.
Understand and advocate for our users. Work with researchers and product managers from customer discovery to detailed usability testing, always putting our users first.
Grow. You’ll sharpen your skills, take ownership of important aspects of the design, and help evolve our team as we continue to learn and tune our process.
Collaborate. You’ll be part of a communicative, healthy, product development family that includes products managers, engineers, researchers and other designers.
Ship. We ship. You’ll have multiple opportunities to bring the hypothetical to the actual and enjoy seeing your work in the hands of millions.
