The Opportunity
Adobe is looking for a Machine Learning intern who will apply AI and machine learning techniques to big-data problems to help Adobe better understand, lead and optimize the experience of its customers.
At Adobe Firefly, we build foundation generative models for image, video, and other modalities that power the suite of products at Adobe.
