Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

The Data Science team at Figma partners directly with our product and engineering teams to uncover insights, influence decision making, and apply a data lens to business problems critical to Figma’s growth. Our work is diverse and evolving. As an intern on our team, you will have an opportunity to apply your skills on technical challenges that will have a real impact on our business and product.

  • Evaluate experiments to measure the impact of product changes
  • Define and surface metrics to guide decision making
  • Build models to understand user behavior and predict growth

Some projects you could work on:

  • Evaluation of different online experimentation methodologies and how they may improve velocity and accuracy of A/B tests at Figma 
  • Investigating user behaviors and running experiments to drive improvements on a brand new product offering
  • Recommend opportunities for growth and optimization of our core product through researching KPIs and/or areas of the business funnel

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

  • A strong baseline in statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics or other quantitative field
  • Proficiency with basic SQL 
  • Experience with R, Python, or similar scripting language
  • Firm knowledge around statistical methods and models
  • A self-starting approach along with strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Research experience in the natural sciences, social sciences, or behavioral sciences
  • Experience working with creative tools

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills.
