Data Scientist - Finance or Marketing
Figma is adding to our team of passionate people who are revolutionizing the world of design. We are building a browser-based design tool that looks and feels as good as a native application and has all the additional power and advantages that come from being built upon the web platform. If you’re looking to work at a dynamic company who is building the future of design tools, welcome to Figma.
This is a full-time role that can be based in one of our US hubs or remotely within the United States.
We are seeking an experienced Data Scientist to join either Figma's Sales-Assisted Marketing team or our Finance team.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of driving analytical projects as well as partnering closely with business peers to guide decision making.
Finance: The Finance team is focused on solving some of Figma’s most pressing business issues. The team is responsible for owning the company's budget and top level business objectives, driving annual and quarterly planning processes, forecasting future company growth, and performing financial analysis to inform our business strategy. You’ll be bringing a high level of rigor to the highest priority business issues and will interface regularly with senior leaders at the company. The ideal candidate is a great communicator with both technical and non technical counterparts, extremely detail oriented, and comfortable with ambiguity. Familiarity with financial data would be a huge plus.
What You’ll Do at Figma:
Collaborate cross-functionally to understand existing problems and identify areas of impact for your team
Understand user behavior within Figma through creation of new datasets, metrics, experimentation, etc and guide decision making
Develop new techniques, datasets, tools that will enable answering previously unanswered questions and increasing rigor of analyses

4+ years relevant work experience in Analytics or Data Science
Experience working with financial data and metrics
Experience supporting a Marketing team or similar function
Fluency in SQL
Proficiency in Python, R or similar scripting language
Experience in distributed data processing systems (Hive, Redshift, Presto, Snowflake, etc)
Firm knowledge around statistical methods, including forecasting
Excellent judgment and creative problem solving skills
A self-starting mentality along with strong communication and collaboration skills
At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring hard-working, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills.
