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 a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of technical challenges from data engineering, analytics, experimentation, and machine learning. We seek data scientists with strong coding and statistics fundamentals and who are excellent communicators among technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Research, Design, Sales, and Marketing to turn business questions into data problems
  • Evaluate experiments to measure the impact of product changes
  • Define and surface metrics to guide decision making
  • Communicate and document data logging and requirements
  • Build models to understand user behavior and predict growth
  • Provide thoughtful feedback to others on the team

In your first few months, you'll:

  • Work with an onboarding buddy to make your first edits to our data tables and dashboards
  • Start to build deep context and expertise in Figma's data and product
  • Deliver your first product analysis

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

  • A strong baseline in statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics or other quantitative field
  • 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

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.
