TL;DR

As a Junior Machine Learning Engineer on Adobe’s cutting-edge generative AI team, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and controllability of multimodal models for images and videos. Your responsibilities include designing end-to-end training pipelines, leading core development for pre-training areas like text to image and video, and developing scalable workflows for data curation and distributed training. You will collaborate closely with research, evaluation, and infrastructure teams to improve model quality and address capability limitations through higher-quality data and better training recipes. Ideal candidates have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related fields, experience with large-scale multimodal models, and expertise in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and diffusion-based architectures like DiT. Strong skills in scalable pipeline design, distributed training, and model optimization for high-throughput environments are essential.
