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.

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

• 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)

• A track record of working cross-functionally and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical partners
• Experience supporting one or more of the following: Product, Marketing, Finance, or internal Platform/Tooling teams

• Comfortable defining your own priorities and adapting quickly as priorities shift

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.
