Sr Applied Scientist, Generative AI​/ML

The Opportunity

Adobe is seeking to add Applied Scientists in Generative AI to our world‑class AI Platform team. We are specifically looking for scientists with expertise in preparing data, training, fine‑tuning and adapting large foundation models across all modalities: images, video, 3D, LLMs and cross‑modal setups.

We welcome outstanding candidates in all related technical fields, such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing. The related applications include image/video/3D generation, editing, and understanding, conditioned on controls stemming from large language models, or other innovative interactions tailored for creative workflows, and multimodal priors.

• Conduct pioneering research and development in Generative AI for visual (image/video/3D), audio, and multi‑modal outputs.
• Develop and deploy novel generative AI technologies to existing and new Adobe Products.
• Research and develop novel large‑scale foundation models with deep reasoning and world‑building capabilities.
• Collaborate with world‑class researchers and ML engineers to bring research ideas to creative workflows used by millions.
• Publish and present your work in world‑class scientific venues in CV/AI/ML/CG fields.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, CV/AI/ML/CG or related fields and 1+ years professional experience.
• Research or industry experience in training Generative AI models (pre‑training and/or post‑training) in at least one of the following modalities: image, video, 3D, or audio.
• Expertise in large‑scale model training and optimization, including data curation, distributed training, and memory‑efficient techniques.
• Experience with post‑training techniques such as fine‑tuning, alignment or distillation.
• Proficiency with modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) and experience scaling models on GPU/TPU clusters.
• Excellent communication skills and a strong great teammate.

• Experience on large‑scale generative model training.
• Experience on synthetic data generation.
• Experience of working with large‑scale datasets.
• Experience of working with product teams on technology transfers.
