Role summary
RELITIV is hiring an Adobe Creative Cloud Scripting Developer to support our federal customer’s media production team. They create interactive, mobile, video, web, and audio products that turn complicated topics into clear, polished content for senior leaders. Your job is to build the automation scripts that keep that production line moving fast.
You’ll write and maintain scripts for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, fix them when Adobe updates or workflow changes break them, and work closely with a collaborative team handling a moderate to heavy workload.
What you will do
- Build, debug, test, and maintain production-quality scripts for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop
- Automate complex production workflows, like creating or editing documents, manipulating graphics and assets, processing files, and exporting
- Troubleshoot scripts after Adobe updates, operating system changes, or changes to source documents and workflows
- Dig into older scripts, find bugs and performance problems, and clean them up without breaking what they do
- Write scripts that talk to web APIs, local file systems, and common production file formats
- Write clear documentation covering how each script is built, what it depends on, how to install and run it, and known limitations
- Create test cases and run functional and regression testing
- Keep your project statuses updated in the customer’s production tracking tool
- Follow the customer’s standards for quality, responsiveness, and accessibility
