Machine Learning Engineer, Generative AI

The Opportunity

Firefly is the new family of creative generative AI models coming to Adobe products that offers a new way to conceptualize, build, and scale content. It's a natural extension of the technology Adobe has produced over the past 40 years.

At the core of Firefly are our commercially safe AI models trained on hundreds of millions of images owned or licensed by Adobe. We are hiring for a highly strategic and visible role to help evolve these models and the associated prompt engine. This is an opportunity to reach millions of creatives, helping them recreate the way they work.

What you will Do

• Develop and optimize machine learning solutions with cutting-edge architectures that impact millions of users across Adobe's products.

• Enhance Firefly's inferencing pipeline to power generative AI features across multiple platforms, including Firefly Web, Photoshop, Illustrator, Express, and Stock.

• Design GPU-optimized, efficient model pipelines that serve diverse modalities such as images, vectors, and 3D assets.

• Ensure scalability and reliability of Firefly's cloud services, incorporating observability, logging, and tracing to enable rapid issue detection and resolution.

• Develop key business logic for Firefly services, including usage metering, entitlement checks, quota management, and upsell workflows.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• PhD or Master's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Vision, Robotics, or a related field-or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience developing production-grade machine learning models using PyTorch and Python.

• Proven expertise in GPU-intensive ML workloads, including optimization, scaling, and deployment in production environments.

• Strong knowledge of model serving and orchestration, including GPU resource management for scalable ML systems.

• Deep understanding of Visual Foundation Models (e.g., Transformers, Diffusion) and Multimodal Language Models (e.g., Text-to-Image, Image-to-Text, Text-to-Video), including evaluation methodologies and productization challenges.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex issues and drive solutions with a data-driven approach.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a proven ability to work in cross-functional teams.

At Adobe, you will be immersed in an exceptional work environment that is recognized throughout the world on Best Companies lists. You will also be surrounded by colleagues who are committed to helping each other grow through our unique Check-In approach where ongoing feedback flows freely.
