Machine Learning Engineer 4
The Challenge:
Search, Discovery, and Content AI (SDC) is a cornerstone of Adobe’s ecosystem. It helps creative professionals and everyday users access, discover, and use many digital assets and creative content, including images, videos, documents, and more. With growing demand for intuitive search, contextual discovery, and smooth content interactions across Adobe products like Express, Lightroom, and Adobe Stock, SDC is evolving into a generative AI powerhouse.
This team develops modern solutions for intent understanding, personalized recommendations, and action orchestration to transform how users interact with content. Working with massive datasets and groundbreaking technologies, we will help reshape the discovery experience and promote user success. If working at the intersection of machine learning, generative AI, and real-time systems excites you, we’d love to have you join us.
Responsibilities:
As a Machine Learning Engineer on the SDC team, you will:
- Develop and optimize machine learning models and algorithms for search, recommendation, and content understanding across diverse content types.
- Build and deploy scalable generative AI solutions to enable intelligent content discovery and contextual recommendations within Adobe products.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ML models into production systems, ensuring high performance, reliability, and user impact.
- Research, develop, and implement brand new techniques in natural language understanding, computer vision, and multimodal learning.
- Contribute to the end-to-end ML pipeline, including data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
- Partner with product teams to identify customer needs and translate them into innovative solutions.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and cross-functional collaborators.
What You’ll Need to Succeed:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of industry experience building and deploying machine learning systems at scale.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python (for ML/AI) and Java (for production-grade systems).
- Strong expertise in machine learning frameworks and tools (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Solid understanding of mathematics and ML fundamentals: linear algebra, statistics, optimization, and numerical methods.
- Experience in deep learning methods for computer vision (e.g., CNNs, transformers), natural language understanding (e.g., BERT, GPT), or multimodal AI.
- Proven track record of delivering ML solutions to production environments, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability.
- Knowledge of large-scale distributed systems and frameworks (e.g., Kubernetes, Spark, Hadoop).
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to innovate new solutions for complex challenges.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with generative AI (e.g., Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, MidJourney) and its application in content creation or discovery.
- Knowledge of computational geometry, 3D modeling, or animation pipelines.
- Familiarity with real-time recommendation systems or search indexing.
- Publications in peer-reviewed journals or conferences in relevant fields.
