About the Adobe Software Engineer hiring loop

Adobe's engineering loop is moderate-difficulty coding plus strong product/design sensibility. System design uses Adobe-style creative-cloud architecture (real-time collaboration, large file streaming). Behavioural rounds reward creative collaboration stories.

Coding rounds are scored on correctness, clarity, complexity statement, edge-case enumeration, and testability. System design is scored on scale anchoring, API definition quality, data-model trade-offs, and failure-mode reasoning.
