About the role
- Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about.
- Everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity.
- We realize new ideas can come from anywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours!
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of mid-training approaches that improve editing capabilities for Adobe's multimodal generative models across image, video, and audio.
- Own well-defined components within the mid-training stack - such as image-to-image editing or instruction-based editing - designing and running experiments to test hypotheses and identify quality gaps.
- Build and maintain large-scale captioning pipelines and support VLM finetuning efforts to improve multimodal understanding across visual and auditory domains.
- Assist in building scalable workflows for data curation, quality improvements, and distributed training, applying research insights from diffusion models and large-scale training to practical model improvement.
- Collaborate closely with research, data, evaluation, infrastructure, pre-training, and post-training teams, contributing to knowledge sharing and documentation of experiments, datasets, and training approaches.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams.
Skills
- If these tools are used inappropriately or in a way that misrepresents your work, your application may not move forward in the process.
Compensation
- Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several U.S. geographic markets, and we pay differently based on those defined markets.
