About the role

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. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our growing data team. At Figma, Data Scientists are deeply embedded within cross-functional teams across the company—from Product to Finance, Marketing, and Platform. We are hiring across a number of roles in these areas. This is ideal for someone excited to own high-impact data projects, partner strategically with stakeholders, and shape the future of our products and business.

Figma is uniquely positioned to harness advances in AI while keeping people at the heart of creative product development. As part of our Data Science team, you'll help address the most pressing challenges emerging from AI-driven development, shape next-generation data science workflows, and build AI-powered tools used by millions of product teams around the world.

The ideal candidate will bring strong analytical and technical skills, business intuition, and a collaborative mindset to guide decision-making and unlock growth opportunities. You'll work on problems ranging from understanding user behavior to optimizing revenue strategies, improving internal tooling, and influencing product direction through experimentation and data modeling.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma:

- Collaborate across teams to define and measure key metrics, design experiments, and uncover insights that inform strategic decisions

- Build models and analytical frameworks to support product, marketing, platform, or finance initiatives

- Develop tools, datasets, and systems that enable others to work with data more efficiently and rigorously

- Own complex data projects end-to-end, from framing the business question through to shipping a solution stakeholders act on

- Champion data quality, accessibility, and the democratization of data across the organization

- Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, Research, Sales, Marketing, or Finance to drive impact

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

- 4+ years of experience in Analytics, Data Science, or a related field

- Fluency in SQL and proficiency in a scripting language like Python or R, along with experience working with distributed data systems (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake, Presto, Hive, Spark)

- Strong foundation in statistical methods, experimentation, and/or forecasting

- A track record of working cross-functionally and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical partners
