Role Overview
We are looking for a Freelance Junior Developer to build and maintain powerful Photoshop plugins using Adobe’s Unified Extensibility Platform (UXP). This role is unique: you will use JavaScript to create in-app interfaces and Python to handle heavy-duty back-end automation.
You will be responsible for building tools that perform batch image processing and dynamic asset generation, bridging the gap between external data and creative output.
Key Responsibilities
• Plugin Development (UXP): Develop and debug in-app panels and modal dialogs using JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, and CSS within the Photoshop UXP environment.
• Python-Driven Automation: Build standalone Python scripts to handle high-volume data processing or complex image manipulation tasks that feed into the Photoshop workflow.
• Batch Image Processing: Programmatically automate repetitive tasks, such as bulk resizing, filtering, and multi-format exports (PNG, JPEG, WebP) using both the Photoshop DOM API and Python libraries like Pillow or OpenCV.
• Dynamic Asset Generation: Create logic to automatically generate design variations (e.g., personalized ads or social media posts) by injecting data from REST libraries directly into Photoshop layers.
• Bridge Programming: Write scripts that allow JavaScript plugins to trigger and communicate with Python back-ends for heavy-lifting tasks like AI inference or bulk metadata handling.
• API Integration: Use Fetch (JS) or Requests (Python) to connect Photoshop workflows to external RESTful services, ensuring live data is always accessible within the creative environment.
Technical Requirements
• Core JavaScript (ES6+): Strong foundational skills in modern JS, including Async/Await and Promises for handling API responses and plugin lifecycle events.
• Python Proficiency: Practical experience with Python for scripting and automation; familiarity with image processing libraries is a major plus.
• RESTful Communication: Solid understanding of HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) and handling JSON data structures.
• Adobe UXP Knowledge: Familiarity with (or an eagerness to learn) the UXP Developer Tool and Photoshop's internal DOM.
• Version Control: Fundamental knowledge of Git for collaborative coding and managing feature branches.
Preferred Qualities
• Automation Mindset: You enjoy finding ways to turn hours of manual clicking into a single button press.
• Technical Versatility: Comfortable switching between front-end UI tasks (JS/CSS) and back-end logic (Python)
