Company mission

Figma's mission is to help teams create, share, test, and ship better designs from start to finish.

Role

Who you are

  • 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
  • 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

Desirable

  • 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

What the job involves

  • We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to partner with our Data Science and Data Infrastructure teams to own and scale our data pipelines.
  • You’ll also work closely with stakeholders across business teams including sales, marketing, and finance to ensure that the data they need arrives promptly and reliably.
  • You’ll play an integral role in building the metrics and self-serve reporting capabilities to unlock Figma’s next phase of growth
  • 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

Our take

Figma is a web-based design platform that helps cross-functional teams of designers, project managers, and developers easily collaborate on product design projects. Its standout feature, Multiplayer mode, is like Google Docs for design, letting team members collaborate in real-time on project files that are hosted in the cloud.

Founded in 2012, Figma quickly established itself among its competitors in the sector and achieved a valuation exceeding $10 billion in 2021, boosted by a trend towards remote work. Its acquistion by Adobe for twice that amount just a year later raised eyebrows, but is a testament to the huge potential of this company and its product.

Thousands of industry-leading companies such as AirBnB, Dropbox, GitHub and Microsoft use Figma to scale their design efforts easily across distributed teams. Adobe has committed to leaving Figma autonomous going forward, and Figma will benefit from Adobe's digital imaging and AI tech in its product development.
