TL;DR · Senior Machine Learning Engineer

The Senior Machine Learning Engineer joins the Agent Platform team within the Adobe Experience Platform to build a production-grade runtime for autonomous AI agents. You will own major components end-to-end, including agent runtimes, tool execution layers, memory systems, and sandboxed execution. Your daily work involves designing ML workflows for enterprise scale, shipping production-ready code with sub-second orchestration latency, and managing model customization and lifecycle infrastructure. The role requires proficiency in Python and/or Java, experience with microservices, and deep hands-on expertise in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. You will utilize cloud platforms like AWS or Azure alongside data tools such as Postgres, Redis, and Snowflake. This position solves the technical challenge of creating a multi-tenant Agent-Ops stack capable of handling thousands of endpoints for large-scale marketing applications.
