We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours! Join us in crafting the future of experience delivery. We are pioneering semantic enrichment within the Adobe Experience Data Model (XDM), transforming how businesses understand and act on their data. By integrating semantic search, knowledge graphs, and advanced natural language understanding (NLU), we are redefining knowledge retrieval and personalization at scale. Adobe XDM is a standardized data framework that delivers a consistent, unified, and interoperable structure across Adobe Experience Platform and its applications. It functions as the core for real-time customer data management, allowing for seamless data integration. Through semantic enrichment, XDM is progressing beyond structured data management to enable context recognition, intent-based recommendations, and automated decision-making. Joining the XDM Semantic Enrichment team as an engineer means being at the forefront of developing advanced search and discovery capabilities. Your primary responsibility will involve crafting intelligent search solutions that exceed traditional keyword matching by incorporating NLU, machine learning, and knowledge graphs to deliver relevant insights. By working on this, you will enable brands to quickly access, understand, and act upon data, enabling improved efficiency and personalization.
