Adobe's EPG (Emerging Product Groups), also known as the Nextcam team, is seeking Computer Scientists with graduate training or equivalent experience in computer vision, modern AI, or computational photography, to join our team in San Jose, California. This is a relatively new team, led by VP and Fellow Marc Levoy, exploring next-generation product opportunities centered around the concept of a camera app empowered by AI, computer vision, and computational photography. The team develops technologies and features for Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and other imaging products, with broad impact. The team recently launched an AI-based feature for removing window reflections from photographs. Earlier in 2024 we launched an AI model that automatically adjusts the tone and color of photographs, as described in our blog. For SLR/MIR camera users, this may be the first time they have seen their photographs rendered in high dynamic range.

If you are passionate about photography and AI, this is your opportunity to work with a great team who will be changing the camera industry. Publication is allowed and encouraged, especially when validated by product impact.
