Machine Learning Engineer 5
Adobe Software
JOB LEVEL
P50EMPLOYEE ROLE
Individual ContributorWhat you'll do:
- Lead a small team dedicated to video-model inference quality and evaluation.
- Integrate and harden new video-generation models from the core Modeling team into production services.
- Build automated pipelines to track video-quality metrics, latency, drift, and cost.
- Partner with Evaluation-Platform and Integration-Services teams to move models through release gates.
- Define and enforce SLAs for inference quality, latency, and cost.
- Maintain clean APIs, tests, and CI/CD for all inference code (Python / PyTorch).
- Report clear metrics and blockers to researchers, product managers, and leadership.
What You Need to Succeed
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 6 + years software engineering, including 2 + years leading ML-inference or backend projects.
- Strong systems-architecture skills; expert Python and solid PyTorch.
- Hands-on experience running distributed services at scale (CI/CD, containers, orchestration).
- Proven record designing stable APIs and SDKs.
- Familiarity with automated testing, continuous integration, and on-call support.
- Clear written and verbal communication; able to align research and engineering teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience with diffusion or other generative models.
- Ray or similar distributed-compute frameworks.
- Kubernetes, ECS, or comparable orchestration tools.
- Background in model quantization or GPU scheduling.
- Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar CI pipelines.
Note: This role focuses on inference integration and evaluation, not model training. Strong software-engineering discipline is essential to help next-generation video-generative models meet production quality bars quickly and reliably.
