Sr Applied Scientist, Generative Ai/ml

Adobe Adobe · Enterprise · Seattle, WA

This role focuses on conducting research and development in Generative AI for visual, audio, and multi-modal outputs, with a strong emphasis on preparing data, training, fine-tuning, and adapting large foundation models. The scientist will develop and deploy novel generative AI technologies into Adobe products, publish research, and collaborate with other researchers and ML engineers.

What you'd actually do

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