Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world.

This is a great role for an individual who is passionate about working with data and data systems, and who loves solving problems. You’ll have a good sense for when it makes sense to build fast, scrappy solutions to unblock a key stakeholder vs. when to push back or bring in an outside service. The ideal candidate will be a great communicator who can help coordinate across multiple internal and external teams and takes pride in building end-to-end projects.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

  • Own, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that connect various cloud data sources.
  • Develop a deep understanding of Figma’s core data models and optimize data pipelines for scale.
  • Partner with the Data Science and Data Infrastructure teams to build new foundational data sets that are trusted, well understood, and enable self-service.
  • Work with a wide range of cross-functional stakeholders to derive requirements and architect shared datasets; ability to document, simplify and explain complex problems to different types of audiences.
  • Establish best practices for the development of specialized data sets for analytics and modeling. 
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 4+ years in a relevant field.
  • Fluency with both SQL and Python.
  • Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, and ETL/reverse ETL tools.
  • Excellent judgment and creative problem solving skills.
  • A self-starting mindset along with strong communication and collaboration skills.
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
  • Knowledge in data modeling methodologies to design and build robust data architectures for insightful analytics.
  • Experience with business systems such as Salesforce, Customer IO, Stripe, NetSuite is a big plus.
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. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
