Senior Data Scientist, Firefly

Adobe Firefly is transforming how creators ideate, create, and express themselves through generative AI. As Firefly continues to scale, high-quality data and analytics are core to how we learn, prioritize, and deliver value to millions of users. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to take ownership of analytics for a defined area within Firefly, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to turn data into clear insight and inform decision-making. In this role, you will work independently, define the analytical roadmap for your area, and be the go-to voice on what the data says and what it means for the business. This is a great opportunity to drive meaningful ownership over a product area with significant autonomy, while mentoring junior data scientists and helping shape the broader analytics strategy for a fast-scaling generative AI product. What you'll do: ● Own analytics for a defined area within Firefly end-to-end, from metric definition through reporting, insight generation, and stakeholder communication. ● Independently translate ambiguous product and business questions into structured analytical approaches with minimal guidance. ● Identify patterns, trends, and relationships across datasets that surface new insights and directly influence product direction and business outcomes. ● Conduct sound statistical analysis, recognizing errors, biases, and trade-offs within the business context; contribute to experimentation and testing where relevant to your area. ● Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to define success metrics and guardrails aligned with user value and business goals. ● Communicate and synthesize complex analyses into clear, actionable narratives for both technical and senior business stakeholders, with limited supervision. ● Architect, build, and improve scalable self-serve dashboards, pipelines, and analytics tools that support your area and the broader organization. ● Proactively identify data quality issues, logging gaps, and infrastructure needs, and drive resolution together with data engineering partners. ● Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior data scientists; may contribute to technical interviewing and hiring decisions. ● Take ownership of one or more technical projects from start to finish, and summarize progress, trade-offs, and recommendations to management. What you'll need to succeed: ● 5+ years of experience in data science, applied statistics, or analytics, preferably in a product or business analytics role. Solid understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis, with the judgment to know when and how to apply them. ● Strong SQL skills and proficiency in Python or R for analysis and modeling. ● Experience architecting and maintaining data pipelines using modern cloud data science workflows (e.g., Git, Databricks, Python, AWS, Azure, or equivalent). ● Experience working with large-scale product datasets and behavioral event data. ● Strong business intuition and the ability to connect metrics to real-world user experiences and broader business outcomes. ● Demonstrated ability to communicate complex analyses, trade-offs, and recommendations to both technical and senior non-technical audiences. ● Experience with Adobe Analytics or similar web/product analytics tools. ● A track record of mentoring or providing technical direction to junior team members. ● BS, MS, or PhD or equivalent experience in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering); Master's degree preferred. #FireflyGenAI About Adobe Adobe empowers everyone to create through innovative platforms and tools that unleash creativity, productivity and personalized customer experiences.
