Responsibilities
Build and ship ML-driven capabilities that power AI-assisted user experiences across Adobe Experience Cloud, with a strong emphasis on usability, trust, and proactivity
Design and architect ML systems that blend multiple approaches—including LLMs, classical ML/NL/IR, and heuristics—to solve complex user-facing problems at scale
Work deeply with user-centric data such as page and UI structure, semantics, and state, interaction logs, UI events, behavioral signals, and human feedback loops to inform modeling, evaluation, and iteration
Apply and evolve non-GenAI techniques where appropriate, including recommendation systems, clustering, ranking, NLP pipelines, heterogeneous graph traversal, and edge-based or on-device models
Develop and evolve agentic and reasoning-based systems that integrate retrieval, context, workflows, and decisioning in service of grounded, high-quality user experiences
Partner closely with UI engineers, designers, product managers, and researchers to ensure ML capabilities are expressed through intuitive, coherent interaction patterns
Define and own evaluation frameworks that incorporate UX-relevant signals such as relevance, latency, consistency, visual quality, and human feedback—not just offline accuracy metrics
Drive system reliability, scalability, and performance for user-facing ML systems, including real-time and edge inference, experimentation, and monitoring under strict latency, privacy, and compute constraints
Serve as a senior technical leader and mentor, helping shape ML direction and standards across experience-focused teams
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of industry experience, or Master's/PhD with equivalent experience, building and shipping ML systems at scale
Strong background in applied machine learning, spanning both modern GenAI techniques and classical ML approaches
Demonstrated experience architecting ML systems end-to-end, from data ingestion and modeling to production deployment and iteration
Proven success delivering AI/ML solutions that directly impact user experience, engagement, or productivity
Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, or equivalent
Hands-on experience with user-centric data pipelines, experimentation frameworks, and production evaluation
Experience with LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt and context engineering and agent creation/agentic systems
Strong judgment in selecting the right AI/ML approach for a given problem, rather than defaulting to a single technique
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence engineering, product, and design partners
A track record of technical leadership, mentorship, and shaping ML direction beyond individual projects
Preferred
Experience with on-device / edge ML constraints (latency, memory, privacy), and/or model optimization for client environments (the roadmap emphasizes client-side models and “edge inference & optimization”)
Experience building human-in-the-loop systems (annotation, feedback, calibration, explainability, interruption management)
Experience building UI and user experience workflows
Experience with React, CSS and Nodejs
Benefits
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP)
Long-term incentives in the form of a new hire equity award
