Agentic ML Engineer - Photoshop

Position Summary

We are building an advanced AI platform that powers next-generation creative workflows for flagship products like Photoshop and Lightroom. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer (or Applied Scientist), you will combine deep technical expertise with architectural leadership to design and implement reasoning systems, tool orchestration, and multimodal integrations using cutting‑edge large language models (LLMs) and vision‑language models (VLLMs).

• (M)
  LLM post‑training and evaluation, including fine‑tuning, alignment, and domain adaptation
• Agent system architecture design and implementation at scale
• Practical agent development using frameworks such as Lang Chain, Lang Graph, MCP, and A2A
• Image generation and editing with multimodal AI
• Building and owning rigorous evaluation frameworks for LLM and agent performance

• Lead the development of next‑generation AI agents that improve and extend Adobe’s product ecosystem
• Drive the architecture and implementation of robust agentic systems that combine reasoning, retrieval, tool use, and multimodal capabilities
• Own end‑to‑end LLM fine‑tuning pipelines — data curation, training, RLHF/DPO alignment, and evaluation
• Design and maintain comprehensive evaluation frameworks to measure agent quality, reliability, and safety
• Implement state‑of‑the‑art LLM techniques for specialized creative applications
• Mentor and grow engineers and scientists across the team; establish technical best practices
• Move fast in an environment where priorities evolve and problems are sometimes loosely defined

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field
• 8+ years of industry ML experience
• Demonstrated expertise in LLMs, fine‑tuning (SFT, RLHF, DPO, PEFT/LoRA), and agentic system development in production
• Deep experience building evaluation frameworks for LLM and multi‑agent systems (LLM‑as‑judge, automated benchmarks, red‑team‑ing)
• Proficiency in PyTorch and agentic frameworks:
  Lang Chain, Lang Graph, MCP, Agent Development Kit (ADK)
• Fluency with AI‑assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) while maintaining independent engineering judgment and critical ownership of technical decisions
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles
• Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills; comfortable operating in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments
• Experience with multimodal models (vision‑language, image generation/editing) is a strong plus
