We’re looking for a Principal Scientist (P60) to shape the data strategy behind Adobe Firefly’s multimodal foundation models (image, video, audio). In this role, you’ll work across research and engineering to improve how large-scale visual data is sourced, curated, and used to train high-quality generative models.
Your work will directly impact how Firefly understands concepts like style, motion, and real-world variation—helping deliver more realistic, controllable, and useful creative tools to millions of users. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad influence across teams and model generations.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
SHAPE GENERATION DATA STRATEGY
- Develop a long-term approach to generation-focused data that improves image, video, and audio synthesis at scale
- Guide decisions around data quality, diversity, and composition for foundation model training
- Explore new methods to address gaps in current data approaches and improve model performance
DRIVE DATA–MODEL COLLABORATION
- Work closely with model teams to align data design with model architecture and training behavior
- Build and refine data curricula across training stages (what data is used, when, and at what scale)
- Run and interpret experiments to understand how data impacts quality, motion, robustness, and efficiency
- Combine organic, synthetic, and model-generated data to improve learning outcomes
LEAD THROUGH INFLUENCE
- Partner with research, engineering, and product teams to guide data-related decisions
- Share insights that shape roadmaps across modeling, infrastructure, and applied research
- Support and mentor other scientists, contributing to a culture of strong experimentation and learning
- Help translate research ideas into scalable systems used in production models
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
- 10+ years of experience in ML, data systems, or AI research, including work on large-scale or foundation models
- Experience shaping data strategies, representations, or training approaches for generative or multimodal systems
- Expertise in image and/or video and audio generation, with a strong understanding of how data affects model behavior
- Understanding of how data, model architecture, and training dynamics interact
- Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and work effectively with technical and cross-functional partners
Education
Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field preferred

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Data Contributor Jobs at Adobe Jobs
Align your portfolio with Adobe's data workflows
Adobe's Data Contributor roles frequently involve metadata tagging, content taxonomy, and digital asset management. Frame your portfolio around structured data projects, not just raw analysis, so hiring managers can immediately connect your work to Adobe's content supply chain operations.
Target roles listed under Adobe's digital media division
Adobe's Creative Cloud and Document Cloud divisions generate the most Data Contributor openings. Filtering your search by these business units, rather than browsing company-wide, surfaces roles with clearer sponsorship pathways and more predictable hiring cycles.
Confirm LCA posting before accepting an offer
Before signing, ask Adobe's recruiting team whether a Labor Condition Application has been filed with the DOL for your specific role and work location. The LCA locks in prevailing wage levels and must be certified before USCIS can approve your H-1B petition.
Use OPT STEM extension time strategically
F-1 students on STEM OPT have up to 24 months of additional work authorization. If you start at Adobe before an H-1B lottery cycle, that buffer gives you two additional registration attempts without a gap in employment, which Adobe's immigration team accounts for in its sponsorship planning.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Data Contributor openings at companies with confirmed sponsorship histories. This saves time you'd otherwise spend cold-applying to employers who don't sponsor the visa category you hold.
Understand how PERM affects your long-term timeline
If Adobe pursues a Green Card for you through EB-2 or EB-3, PERM labor certification requires the DOL to verify no qualified U.S. workers were available. Recruitment documentation starts months before filing, so clarify Adobe's PERM process expectations during your offer negotiation, not after you've started.

Find Data Contributor at Adobe JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Adobe sponsor H-1B visas for Data Contributors?
Yes, Adobe sponsors H-1B visas for Data Contributor roles. Adobe participates in the annual H-1B lottery each April and files cap-subject petitions through USCIS for eligible candidates. If you're already on an H-1B with another employer, Adobe can file an H-1B transfer, allowing you to start work as soon as USCIS receives the petition, without waiting for approval.
How do I apply for Data Contributor jobs at Adobe?
Apply directly through Adobe's careers portal at adobe.com/careers. Use keywords like 'data contributor,' 'metadata,' or 'digital asset management' to surface relevant openings. Tailoring your resume to reflect Adobe's content operations language, particularly around structured data, taxonomy, and asset workflows, will strengthen your application before it reaches a recruiter.
Which visa types does Adobe commonly use for Data Contributor roles?
Adobe sponsors H-1B, E-3 (for Australian citizens), TN (for Canadian and Mexican nationals), F-1 OPT and CPT for current students, and J-1 for exchange visitors. For longer-term employment, Adobe also pursues immigrant visa categories including EB-2 and EB-3, which lead to a Green Card. The right category depends on your nationality, degree, and role level. You can browse verified openings by visa type on Migrate Mate.
What qualifications does Adobe expect for Data Contributor positions?
Most Data Contributor roles at Adobe require a bachelor's degree in a field tied to information science, library science, computer science, or a related discipline. Practical experience with metadata standards, content management systems, or digital asset platforms carries significant weight. Familiarity with Adobe's own product ecosystem, such as Adobe Experience Manager or Creative Cloud workflows, is frequently listed as a differentiator in job postings.
How do I manage my visa timeline when starting at Adobe?
If you're transferring an H-1B, Adobe's immigration counsel typically initiates the petition shortly after your offer is signed. You can start on the portability rule once USCIS receives the filing. For new H-1B cap cases, expect an October 1 start date at the earliest following an April lottery. E-3 and TN holders can start faster since those categories aren't subject to an annual cap or lottery.
