The Opportunity

Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) enables businesses to deliver the right experience at the right time to their customers. The Segmentation Service is one of the key AEP services, providing the ability to define customer segments and generate target audiences based on real-time customer profiles. Customer segment definitions are sophisticated queries over profile and event data capturing specific attributes or behaviors shared by a subset of users. With the need to perform trillions of audience segment evaluations per day, scalability and efficiency are paramount in segment evaluation. Supporting segment evaluations in batch and real-time modes requires solving extremely interesting challenges of scale, semantics & simplicity such as executing hundreds/thousands of sophisticated personalization queries in real-time over billions of streaming records daily.

As Senior Engineering Manager of Segmentation, you will be responsible for the batch and real-time segmentation services that power key Adobe applications like RTCDP and AJO. You will lead an exceptionally talented and collaborative team, tackle large scale data management and complex query evaluation challenges, design & implement innovative algorithms, and build highly performant services.
