Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Agentic AI & Semantic Intelligence

Job Description Summary

Core Focus :
Develops modern agentic AI systems, reinforcement learning algorithms for autonomous agents, and sophisticated semantic search solutions. Builds full-stack ML systems from research prototypes to production deployment, combining deep learning, reinforcement learning, and semantic understanding technologies.

Key Responsibilities :
Architects and develop agentic AI systems that autonomously create and manage audiences, implements RL frameworks for agent decision-making, and builds semantic search engines with advanced intent classification. Creates end-to-end solutions from algorithm implementation to API design.

The Opportunity

Join Adobe's mission to revolutionize marketing automation through Agentic AI and Semantic Intelligence. We're building next-generation AI agents that autonomously understand marketer and user intent, make intelligent decisions about audience creation, and deliver personalized experiences through advanced semantic understanding.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Agentic AI and Reinforcement Learning , you'll be the technical architect behind our autonomous audience agents, developing sophisticated RL algorithms and semantic search systems that seamlessly integrate these capabilities.

What You'll Do

Agentic AI & Reinforcement Learning

• Design and implement RL frameworks for autonomous audience agents using advanced algorithms (PPO, A3C, SAC)

• Develop multi-agent systems for collaborative audience creation and management tasks

• Build reward functions and training environments that learn from real marketing outcomes

• Architect agent systems (reactive, deliberative, hybrid) for real-world applications

Semantic Search & Intent Understanding

• Build semantic search engines using transformer models, vector databases, and dense retrieval systems

• Develop intent classification models that translate marketing queries into actionable audience definitions

• Create embedding pipelines for real-time semantic matching between user profiles and objectives

• Implement cross-encoder re-ranking systems for improved search relevance

Full-Stack Development & Research

• Design end-to-end ML pipelines from data ingestion through model serving, monitoring and retraining

• Build scalable APIs and microservices supporting real-time agent decision-making

• Stay at the forefront of agentic AI research, implementing modern techniques from academic literature

• Conduct applied research on novel RL formulations and semantic understanding techniques
