You'll build the data foundations and generate the insights that shape how our Firefly agent, and the tools it exposes across partner platforms, evolves. You'll partner closely with our Third-Party (3P) team, which owns how Firefly is accessed through external agents and assistants, while staying connected to the broader Firefly data picture. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves turning messy, high-volume, ambiguous data into production-ready pipelines and decisions leadership can act on fast. What You'll Do * Design and analyze experiments: conduct sound statistical analysis (hypothesis testing, A/B experimentation), recognizing errors and biases and weighing the pros and cons of approaches within the business context. * Turn data into direction: identify patterns and actionable insights that inform product strategy, prioritization, and roadmap decisions for the Firefly agent and its tools across partner platforms. * Be a data steward: develop deep domain intuition for the agentic/3P ecosystem, take on ambiguous business problems, and make well-reasoned assumptions grounded in that understanding. * Tell the story: interpret, simplify, and synthesize results for technical and non-technical stakeholders, and communicate findings that help decision-makers move quickly and confidently. * Own end-to-end data products: Support our data engineering team with the build and maintenance of scalable, automated, and reliable data pipelines that consolidate diverse, high-volume, and often unstructured usage data from across Adobe's agentic and third-party surfaces. * Write production-quality code: apply best practices in coding, testing, and architecture design; review others' code and provide effective feedback; and build tools and processes that benefit multiple teams. * Drive projects to completion: independently manage one or more technical projects start to finish with minimal managerial guidance, and begin to lead initiatives that inform broader team strategy and goals. * Partner cross-functionally: collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, * Design, and partner-facing teams to define customer-focused, measurable solutions. * Raise the bar: mentor junior data scientists/engineers, share knowledge across and beyond the immediate team, and help establish best practices; contribute to hiring through technical interviewing. * ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [3x Performance: A Humbling Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100165-3x-performance-a-humbling-journey) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [NoCode LiveCode: Leveraging AI Tools to Craft Fully Functional Apps!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1169-nocode-livecode-leveraging-ai-tools-to-craft-fully-functional-apps) - [Building a framework-independent component library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1679-building-a-framework-independent-component-library) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 130 - The Diablo is in the details](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/470-dev-digest-130-the-diablo-is-in-the-details)
