  Workday board, pulled November 3, 2026. Families: 6 engineer, 1 management,

Method
  Built by scripts/build-adobe-aggregate.py from
  fde-postings-2026-11-03.json and scripts/adobe-evidence-2026-11-07.json
  (hand-verified quotes and the November 7, 2026 America/Los_Angeles live
  check against Workday CXS). Track: title text plus location, one posting
  per track.
  Travel: travel_mentioned and travel_pct_stated 30% appear only on Manager,
  Firefly FDE (Bangalore): "Willingness to travel up to 30% to support
  customers and teams in person." The other six seats have null
  travel_pct_stated. Do not invent a travel percentage for those seats.
  Pay: three of seven snapshot rows list a numeric USD range. Marketing
  Intelligence US $109,000 to $200,700 (featured in the mid-page lead).
  Lehi and Senior San Jose US $159,200 to $301,600 (listed in the pay section
  only; do not feature $301,600 tops in the mid-lead). Bucharest ×2,
  Bangalore Manager, and Noida have no posted USD. Never OTE; no currency
  conversion.
  Remote: aeo/fde-tracker/locations.py is_remote (board marks posting remote
  (Greenhouse flags excluded) or a listed location contains Remote;
  Coinbase Remote Zone excluded). is_remote is true on 0 of 7 rows against
  176 of 704 (25.0%) snapshot-wide. Workday remoteType was null on all seven
  live CXS responses; board remote flag is null and no listed location
  contains Remote.
  Live check (November 7, 2026, America/Los_Angeles): 7 of 7 snapshot Adobe
  in-page rows were still open (CXS HTTP 200, jobDescription present,
  canApply true). Evidence links point to public Workday
  external_experienced URLs for all seven seats (HTTP 200 on November 7).
  Snapshot comparison: 176 of 704 in-page postings are remote by the same
  is_remote method (25.0%).

Caveats
  Counts are open postings on a public board on one day and do not
  measure headcount. Matching is by title only. Seven postings are
  too few for employer-level rates.
  FDE Dispatch is not affiliated with Adobe. Figures come from Adobe
