Job Description

Machine Learning is a critical part of Adobe's Cloud offering. Adobe Clouds enable customers to create and manage digital content, such as assets, composites, 3D, documents etc., and digital experience and transformations.

Creative Cloud is focused on visual imagination and creation, and includes such well-known products as Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Lightroom CC, and Adobe Stock. Document Cloud is centered around the creation and management of textual documents, including Acrobat DC and Adobe Sign. Experience Cloud is the set of offerings for the large-scale enterprise, covering marketing, advertising, and analytics.

We are building new machine learning platform, called Adobe Sensei, that powers machine learning and AI across all of these Adobe Cloud product lines. This platform will enable thousands of applied researchers, millions of users, and billions of content pieces. The objective is to make machine learning offerings a world-class, leading-edge, differentiating product in Adobe Cloud ecosystem. We match the pace, innovation and excitement of a startup, backed by the resources and infrastructure of Adobe! We're looking for machine learning scientists to guide development of the Sensei platform, transfer the newest technology from Adobe Research to realization in products, innovate in discovering new ML use cases and product features, and encourage best practices in machine learning application across Adobe.

In this role you will focus particularly on helping to design the next generation of training sets for ML models that are embedded in flagship Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator. We are constantly working with product engineering teams to instrument their apps to export data that help us model moment-to-moment decisions by users, and need to closely study the power of added features. You will build training sets, train corresponding deep models, and make recommendations on next generation data collection.
