• Lead the design, development, and deployment of modern machine learning models that power Adobe's Agent Orchestrator Platform, enabling sophisticated autonomous agent behaviors in a large-scale, multi-cloud environment.

• Drive ML architecture decisions for the platform, establishing guidelines for model development, deployment, and lifecycle management.

• Research and implement innovative techniques in LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-agent coordination to push the boundaries of agent intelligence.

• Architect and optimize end-to-end ML pipelines for model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring at scale, ensuring production-grade reliability and performance.

• Lead experimentation strategy including A/B testing frameworks, evaluation metrics, and continuous improvement processes to improve business impact.

• Establish and evangelize MLOps standard methodologies including model versioning, automated monitoring, retraining pipelines, and performance optimization across the organization.

• Partner with platform engineers, product managers, and data scientists to integrate ML solutions seamlessly into production systems with stringent latency, availability, and scalability requirements.

• Train and support junior ML engineers, promoting an atmosphere of creativity, precision, and ethical AI approaches.

• Drive complex ML projects from research through production deployment with strategic vision, maintaining strong ownership and delivering measurable business outcomes.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

• PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or related field, and/or 5+ years of hands-on ML engineering experience with proven production impact.

• Expert-level proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) with deep understanding of model architectures and optimization.

• Extensive hands-on experience with modern LLM frameworks and tools (e.g., OpenAI APIs, Anthropic Claude, LangChain etc .).

• Proven track record of architecting, building, and deploying production ML systems that operate at scale with measurable business impact.

• Profound knowledge of ML fundamentals encompassing advanced model evaluation, feature engineering, experiment development, and statistical analysis.

• Expert knowledge of RAG architectures, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS), embedding models, and semantic search systems.

• Strong experience with MLOps platforms and practices (MLflow, Weights & Biases, Kubeflow etc.).

• Extensive experience with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML).

•  Strong software engineering skills with expertise in API design, distributed systems architecture, production code quality, and system design.

• Proficient in analyzing and solving problems, capable of debugging intricate ML systems and describing model behavior.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, influence architecture decisions, and drive projects to successful completion.

• Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, with ability to articulate complex ML concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum project management methodologies.

Highly Valued:

• Practical knowledge of reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and agent-based learning.

• Publications or contributions to ML/AI research.

• Deep knowledge of responsible AI, model interpretability, fairness, and bias mitigation in production systems.

• Experience in developing and guiding high-performing ML teams.
