Senior Product Manager: Photoshop Apis And Services

Senior Product Manager

The Adobe Digital Imaging team is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the next generation of our ML and AI services platform within the Applied Research & Technology (ART) organization. This role will own the platform and services layer that powers Photoshop, Lightroom, Firefly, and beyond — spanning API portfolio management, AI/ML & Agent development, and building world-class services. You'll drive the growth and adoption of Adobe's Imaging APIs by embedding them in our most impactful products and platforms, while also pushing the boundaries with new integrations, touchpoints, and workflows that expand user value for millions of creatives worldwide.

Key Pillars of Impact

Oversight of API Portfolios

• Own product strategy and roadmap for all AI/ML services for the Digital Imaging ecosystem.
• Guarantee the smooth incorporation of our APIs into Adobe's key products and platforms, boosting their penetration and impact across the organization.
• Drive new opportunities for APIs to contribute new integrations, new customer touchpoints, and new creative workflows.
• Translate AI research and foundation model capabilities into clear, user-centered product requirements.

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning & Agent Development

• Partner with Applied ML Engineers and Researchers to productize models and define lifecycle requirements (data, training, evaluation, deployment).
• Support AI/ML agent capabilities by ensuring services and pipelines can power reasoning-based and multi-step workflows.
• Drive research-to-production handoffs, ensuring models are reproducible, benchmarked, and service-ready.
• Define and align evaluation metrics and benchmarks for quality, latency, and UX impact.

World-Class Services

• Champion service reliability, scalability, and observability across ART ML services.
• Partner with infra teams to optimize for performance and cost (GPU/TPU utilization, efficiency goals, auto-scaling strategies).
• Implement open collaboration principles - including transparency, contribution guidelines, and shared ownership - to ensure ART services are accessible and extensible throughout Adobe.
• Collaborate with other API and services teams across Adobe, ensuring our combined capabilities are greater than the sum of their parts.

What We're Looking For

• Technical proficiency in ML/Infra: Understanding of ML pipelines, Generative AI, Agentic Workflows, APIs, inference, and ML-Ops (CI/CD, observability, monitoring).
• Product & Portfolio Skills: Experience with API product management, roadmap definition, backlog prioritization, and scaling platform adoption.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Demonstrated capability to align researchers, engineers, product PMs, and enterprise collaborators across competing priorities.
• Effective Communication: Capability to convert technical limitations into business implications and render APIs/services user-friendly and engaging for collaborators.

Nice to Have

• Experience with creative tools, imaging, or computer vision ML.
• Familiarity with cloud ML serving frameworks (Kubernetes, Triton, TorchServe, Ray).
• Experience scaling multi-tenant enterprise services.
