* Partner with internal product teams to define, build, support, and validate implementations of Spectrum in Adobe's products.
* Lead front-end architectural discussions and help build technical alignment in web front-end across product boundaries
* Understand and derive data from user interface designs, map data to clear abstractions, and integrate that design data into Spectrum implementations using patterns expected by product web developers
* Help communicate product engineering concerns back to design, and help drive process improvements to address concerns
* Assist and lead the delivery of improvements to Spectrum and associated unified experience implementation libraries
* Contribute to open-source Spectrum projects-including Spectrum CSS and Spectrum Web Components.

* Experience architecting and building libraries, frameworks, or SDKs used by other developers
* Experience building responsive components for mobile web
* Knowledge of the Node.js ecosystem and npm package development
* Experience with git and GitHub, the process of contribution to open source development, and performing peer code reviews
* Understanding of web accessibility best practices, standards, and testing methods
* Practice working closely with designers, including a strong understanding of how to convert a design specification into code
* A pragmatic, collaborative and open-minded outlook, and a high degree of comfort working in a fast-paced environment
* Practice with open development, collaborative code reviews, and providing detailed feedback to other team members
Nice-to-Haves:
* Familiarity with the concepts behind design systems and how they are applied to product development
* Hands-on usage of build, test, and release methods; such as compilers, linting, CI/CD tooling, software testing and validation techniques, and modern dev-ops practices
* Experience building components with other web frameworks (e.g. React, Vue or Svelte)
* Experience working with partners to advise product roadmap planning
