Job description
from Adobe careersThe Opportunity
Photoshop ART is seeking a Senior Machine Learning (ML) Systems & Efficiency Engineer to join our R&D team focused on delivering practical, production-ready improvements in inference performance, latency, and cost efficiency across image editing applications. This role sits at the intersection of model architecture, systems, inference runtimes, and services, with a clear mandate: deliver high-quality ML systems at substantially lower cost and higher efficiency. Individuals in this role are expected to have deep expertise in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), ML systems, and computer vision. Strong preference will be given to candidates with experience in distributed inference, multimodal model profiling, and performance optimization. You will work closely with research, product, and infrastructure teams to influence model design decisions, improve GPU utilization, and build scalable, cost-aware ML systems deployed in production.
This is a hands-on, high-leverage role where a single engineer can drive outsized impact, potentially saving millions of dollars in compute costs. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in developing practical innovations that advance Adobe products.
