About The Position

Our Company Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe’s all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We’re passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.

The Opportunity Adobe's EPG (Emerging Product s Group) , also known as the Nextcam team, is seeking Computer Scientists with graduate training or equivalent experience i n computer vision, modern AI, or computational photography , t o join our team in San Jose, California. This is a relatively new team , led by VP and Fellow Marc Levoy , that is explor ing next-generation product opportunities centered around the concept of a camera app AI , computer vision, and computational photography . The team also develops technologies and features for Adobe Lightroom , Photoshop , and other imaging products , with the opportunity for broad impact . As examples of what we work on, t he team recently launched an AI-based feature for removing window reflections from photographs; as described in this b log . This launch produced a ton of positive press coverage (e.g. The Verge ), influencer videos (e.g. PhotoshopCafe ), and interviews (e.g. CNET ) . Earlier in 2024 we launched an AI model that automatically adjusts the tone and color of photographs, as descr ibed in this blog . For SLR/MIR camera users, this may be the first time they've seen their photographs rendered in high dynamic range . Finally, in June 2025 we launched Project Indigo, an experimental camera app for iPhone that combines computational photography and AI, and that deliberately explores the boundaries of what is possible in a mobile camera. The app offers full manual controls, a more natural ("SLR-like") look, and the highest image quality that computational photography can provide - in both JPEG and raw formats. It also introduces new photographic experiences not available in other camera apps. The app, which is available for free on the App Store, went viral after launch, garnering millions of downloads and earning broad positive coverage in the tech press. Here is a blog about the app. If you are passionate about photography and AI , this is your opportunity to work with a great team w ho will be changing the camera industry .
