Machine Learning Engineer 5

Adobe Content Intelligence helps marketers and creators understand what makes their work perform. Our team builds the models and pipelines that analyze images, video, email, and paid social ads — then connect those signals to campaign results. That work powers insights, recommendations, and agent tools used across Adobe's products today.

We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to own ML features from model development through production release. You'll train and improve models yourself — not just integrate models others built — and you'll design the data, training, and inference systems that make creative intelligence work for enterprise customers. If you want to grow as a technical leader while shipping ML that customers rely on, this role is a great fit!

What you'll do

You'll own ML system design for major features — from scoping the problem through training, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. You'll make trade-offs on accuracy, latency, cost, and data quality as you deliver models that ship to production.

• Develop and train models for creative understanding across vision, video, and language

• Build datasets, labels, and features from LLMs, subject-matter experts, and user activity

• Implement training, evaluation, and inference pipelines on Spark, Kubernetes, and GPU/CPU environments

• Profile and improve model and pipeline performance for production workloads

• Define test plans and release criteria for the ML components you own

You'll partner with product managers, research scientists, and engineers to connect your work to customer-facing capabilities — insights, recommendations, featurization, and agent context tools. You'll contribute to design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and help interview candidates for the team.

What you need to succeed

You have a Master's degree and 8+ years of relevant experience, or a PhD and 3+ years — or equivalent depth of impact. You have shipped ML models to production and improved them based on real usage and metrics.

• Strong Python and PyTorch for model development and deployment

• Deep learning experience in at least one of: computer vision, video, NLP, or generative AI (LLM/VLM fine-tuning, embeddings, or RAG)

• Hands-on work across the ML lifecycle: data prep, training, evaluation, inference, and monitoring

• Experience with distributed data processing or cloud platforms (Spark, Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, or Azure)

• Ability to break down complex ML problems and communicate trade-offs to teammates and stakeholders

You take ownership of broad, complex goals and see them through with minimal day-to-day direction. Experience with recommendation systems, multi-modal ML, or marketing and creative content platforms is a plus.
