What you'll do at Figma:

• Own a scoped project end to end—from framing the question with Product, Engineering, Design, and Data Science partners through delivering the work—with support from a manager and mentor.
• Analyze user behavior, product performance, or business data to uncover insights and translate them into recommendations for business
• Design and evaluate experiments and develop metrics that help teams understand the impact of product changes.
• Build models to understand user behavior and predict growth
• Build and improve  data pipelines and tools that make product data more scalable and accessible
• Focus areas may include analytics, experimentation, or infrastructure - based on your interests  and business needs

Some projects you could work on:

• Analyze how people adopt and use a new or existing Figma product experience, define meaningful success metrics, and turn patterns in engagement and retention into product recommendations.
• Build and validate a new analytical method or tool that expands how Figma’s Data Science team solves recurring problems.
• Study marketing or customer-journey data to identify drivers of acquisition, conversion, or retention.
• Develop and evaluate forecasts or models that help teams anticipate user or business trends and plan more effectively

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

• Experience using SQL and a scripting language such as Python or R to clean, explore, and analyze data through research, projects, or prior work.
• A solid foundation in statistics and quantitative reasoning, with exposure to areas such as experimentation, forecasting, statistical modeling, causal inference, or data modeling.
• The ability to structure open-ended questions, validate your analysis, and connect findings to product or business decisions.
• Curiosity, initiative, and strong communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non-technical partners.
