Senior ML Engineer for Creative AI & In-Product Copilots

Adobe Inc.; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 163,200 - 236,400; Full time

Job summary

Adobe is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer for its Pro Design team, the group behind Illustrator and InDesign, to power intelligence inside our products. You will work hands-on across the full stack: from discriminative models to generative copilots for creative use cases.

You will collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to define problems, prototype models, and own end-to-end evaluation, data pipelines, and model deployment in production environments, emphasizing

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in a quantitative field or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years building, deploying, and operating ML systems in production at scale.
• Strong core ML foundation: feature engineering and shipping supervised/unsupervised models for prediction, ranking, or personalization.
• Working depth in modern GenAI on top of that: LLMs or generative models in production (RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, or agent design).
• Fluency in Python and SQL, and broader ML tooling and infrastructure ecosystem.
• Rigorous offline and online evaluation and experimentation design and operation.
• Ability to frame problems before modeling, and to communicate technical work clearly to non-technical Product and Design partners.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams to define problems, scope feasibility, and translate research into shipped experiences.
• Design, prototype, and ship models powering product features, from predictive and ranking to generative and agentic systems, including RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, and in-product copilots for creative use cases.
• Own evaluation end to end: define what 'good' means, build offline and online evaluation harnesses, and detect quality regressions in production.
• Build the data and MLOps foundations that keep models reliable: feature pipelines, experiment tracking, versioning, CI/CD, automated retraining, and monitoring.
