2026 University Graduate - Machine Learning Engineer

Overview

Adobe Firefly is redefining creativity by bringing the power of generative AI to millions of users worldwide. The Evaluation Systems team builds the ML foundation that ensures Firefly’s creations are safe, high-quality, and aligned with evolving human needs.

We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer with a passion for vision and multimodal understanding to help us advance the frontier of evaluating generative content. You will design, train, and deploy models that assess the quality, aesthetics, and safety of images and videos generated by foundation models. Your work will directly shape how creators engage with AI responsibly and at scale. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of state-of-the-art research, large-scale data, and production systems, in a team that values human-in-the-loop learning and model alignment as core principles.

What You’ll Do

• Model Development : Build and fine-tune models (e.g., ViTs, VLMs, multimodal encoders) to evaluate generative content across quality, safety, and user alignment dimensions.
• Human-in-the-Loop Training : Leverage large-scale, noisy human feedback data to train robust evaluation and reward models.
• Production Deployment : Ship models as real-time services that gate content and provide quality guardrails, continuously monitoring and improving their performance.
• Collaboration : Partner with product, research, and engineering teams to integrate evaluation signals into Firefly products and new creative experiences.
• Exploration : Stay on top of the latest ML research (e.g., diffusion models, alignment methods, multimodal evaluation) and translate advances into practical solutions.
