What Adobe INC paid sponsored hires in similar roles
170 certified filings for “Machine Learning Engineer” (Data Scientists) in CA: $164k–$215k, median $184k. Most were filed at wage level II (45%) — 2 lottery entries, ≈31% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role

Senior Machine Learning Engineer   Agent   Platform  —   Adobe Experience Platform     THE OPPORTUNITY   Build the Agent Platform That Powers Enterprise AI   Adobe Experience Platform powers personalized experiences for the world's largest brands .   Our AI team is building a production-grade platform for autonomous AI agents — not a wrapper around an LLM API, but a full agent runtime with sub-second orchestration, tool and skill layers spanning thousands of endpoints, long-term memory, sandboxed execution, and a multi-tenant Agent-Ops stack, all runtime-swappable across   providers .     We're hiring Senior ML Engineers to own major components end-to-end. You'll work at the intersection of applied ML and systems engineering, and your decisions will shape a system that serves Fortune 500 marketing teams.     Multiple roles, one team:   The team is growing fast to match the scale of what   we’re   building —   we’re   actively hiring multiple Senior ML Engineers across the focus areas described below.   We’ll   match your strengths to the right domain during the interview process.     WHAT YOU’LL DO   Your Impact   You'll   spend most of your time building platform infrastructure, with regular exposure to customer needs that shapes what you build.   • Build core agent infrastructure.   Own major components of the platform — the agent runtime, tool execution layer, memory systems, sandboxed execution, or control plane — and ship production-ready code against real constraints: sub-second orchestration latency, cost-aware model routing, and high-throughput inference pipelines.   • Design ML workflows at enterprise scale.   Build the systems for model customization, serving, and lifecycle management that let the platform adapt to diverse customer workloads.   • Innovate,   don't   just build.   You'll   have room to exp lore new   approaches to   agent reason ing, tool orchestration, memory, or evaluation — and carry the best ideas from experiment to production. We value engineers who push the platform forward with original thinking, not just execute on a spec.   • Close the loop with customers.   Join regula r customer   engagements to see how your systems perform in real deployments, then feed those insights back into the platform roadmap. This isn't a customer-facing role, but your work is directly shaped by the people who use it.   • Own what you ship.   Architecture through production operations — deployment, monitoring, observability, and incident response. No throwing code over the wall.   Example Focus Areas   Most engineers go deep in one or two areas while collaborating across the broader platform:   • Agent runtime and orchestration   • Tool execution infrastructure   • Retrieval, memory, and context systems   • Evaluation, observability, and agent quality   • Sandboxed execution and security   • Fine-tuning, serving, and model lifecycle infrastructure     WHAT YOU BRING   Core Requirements   • Ph.D. or M.S. in Computer Science or related field   required .   • 5+ years of experience building and deploying production ML systems, with   demonstrated   work on models and AI-powered applications that serve real users at scale.   • Strong software engineering fundamentals:   proficiency   in Python and/or Java, experience designing APIs and microservices, and comfort owning production systems end-to-end (deployment, monitoring, incident response).   • Deep hands-on experience with at least one modern deep learning framework ( PyTorch , TensorFlow, JAX).   • Production experience with LLMs: prompt/context engineering, working with LLM APIs, fine-tuning, or building LLM-powered applications.   • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and data infrastructure (Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch,
