Adobe’s Nov 7 FDE board: seven Marketing Intelligence, Workfront, Experience Platform and Firefly seats, Senior US $159K–$302K

FDE Dispatch’s 7 November live check of Adobe’s public Workday board, built on its 3 November snapshot of 704 FDE-family postings across 114 employers, counted seven Adobe seats (six engineer and one management), sole at 7 and 18th of 114 employers. The tracks are Forward Deployed AI Engineer, Marketing Intelligence & Consumer Insights (San Jose, with Seattle and San Francisco); Forward Deployed Engineer for Workfront in Lehi; Senior Forward Deployed Engineer seats for Adobe Experience Platform in San Jose and two in Bucharest; Sr Forward Deployed Engineer in Noida; and Manager, Firefly FDE in Bangalore.

On the live check, all seven were still open. Three US seats post numeric base ranges: Marketing Intelligence at $109,000–$200,700 (with California and Washington sub-ranges inside that band), and both Lehi Workfront and Senior San Jose AEP at $159,200–$301,600 (Senior California $208,300–$301,600). The Bucharest pair, Bangalore manager, and Noida seats post no USD. The three US texts mention a new-hire equity award without grant sizes. Posted ranges are not offers.

Years and stack split by product vertical. Marketing Intelligence asks for 5+ years of technical experience and 2+ years building and deploying AI applications, plus Python, SQL, and familiarity with Adobe’s marketing stack (Experience Platform, Analytics, GenStudio, Journey Optimizer, Workfront). Lehi states a typical background of 8 to 12 years, a modern language such as Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Python, and agentic or LLM-powered workflows. Senior AEP seats state 8–15+ years and Experience Cloud products (AEP, AJO, RTCDP, CJA, Target); the Bucharest texts say the engineer will be embedded with Adobe’s most strategic EMEA customers. Noida asks for 10+ years. Manager, Firefly FDE asks for 8+ years of software engineering, AI/ML, or technical consulting with recent GenAI hands-on work, plus more than 3 years leading people—and is the only Adobe seat that states a travel figure, up to 30%. None of the seven are remote under FDE Dispatch’s locations-index method (0 of 7, against 176 of 704, or 25.0%, snapshot-wide).

For FDEs, this is an enterprise-software deployment board tied to Adobe’s own products rather than a model-lab or defense stack: expect vertical-specific Adobe platform fluency, hub-based seating (no remote rows), and US Senior/Workfront bands that sit around and above the US engineer-title median midpoint FDE Dispatch cites at $216,104—without treating posted ranges as offers.
