The Opportunity

We are looking for a machine learning engineer with expertise in modern Python platform engineering and machine learning (applied to the domain of computer graphics or computer vision), a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration, and a deep sense of software craftsmanship to participate in the design and implementation of fundamentally new technologies that democratize 3D workflows and create delightful and powerful 3D tools.

You will be a key driver of innovation, initiating and managing research collaborations that push the state-of-the-art forward. You will also be a champion of robust and sustainable engineering practices as you transfer new technologies into 3D products. You will be working in a customer-focused research engineering team, to deliver technical innovations with high visibility that will reach millions of creatives.

What You’ll Do

• Train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models, optimizing both performance and quality
• Build and contribute to shared technology platforms that accelerate machine learning research and development, including data pipelines, datasets, distributed compute infrastructure, and deployment engines
• Write robust, high-performance code. Identify and fix bugs and performance bottlenecks.
• Identify, explore, invent, and develop new technologies for Adobe’s 3D products to provide approachable, delightful, and powerful experiences for Adobe’s customers
• Partner with research labs and product teams across Adobe to co-develop those new technologies in a transdisciplinary, cross-functional way
• Define technical roadmaps for large-scale projects, where you will coordinate and work with research scientists, artists, designers, and product engineers to architect, develop, optimize, ship, and maintain novel technologies that set Adobe apart
• Support the evaluation of new technologies by working with artists and product managers to define quantitative and qualitative metrics for success
• Contribute to tech transfer pipeline tools that streamline evaluation processes
• Build prototypes as needed
• Scaffold researchers in their efforts to build prototypes

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• MS in Computer Science, with focus on computer graphics, computer vision, or machine learning preferred
• 2+ years of applied research
• Deep knowledge of modern Python 3 design patterns
• Basic knowledge of C++
• A solid grasp of machine learning architectures and best practices, and an ability to implement algorithms from the research literature
• A solid grasp of the fundamentals of machine learning and experience with one or more training or deployment environments (PyTorch, CoreML, WinML, ONNX Runtime)
• Customer empathy and a passion for creating delightful experiences
• Experience writing cross-platform code
• Experience in building, profiling, debugging, and testing complex systems

Welcome Expertise

• PhD in Computer Science, with focus on computer graphics, computer vision, or machine learning preferred
• Expertise in modern C++ (>= C++17)
• Expertise in deploying machine learning services
• Familiarity with 3D content creation tools and their APIs (e.g., Maya, Houdini, Blender, C4D, ...)
• Experience with design of high-level APIs and frameworks
