Help design foundational datasets that are trusted, well-documented, and easy to use

Optimize pipelines for performance and scalability as Figma grows

Partner with cross-functional teammates to understand data needs and deliver solutions

Contribute to the tools and practices that make working with data at Figma easier

With support from a manager and mentor, you’ll own a scoped project from problem definition through implementation, testing, documentation, and sharing the results.

Some projects you could work on:

Develop new ETL jobs to integrate product or business data into our warehouse

Improve the performance and reliability of core pipelines

Build reusable datasets that support experimentation, product and business analytics, or cross-functional stakeholders

Document and simplify complex data workflows for broader use

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

Experience coding in Python or a similar language and writing SQL queries

Experience building or working with data pipelines, ETL, or large datasets

Curiosity about how data systems work and interest in making them more scalable and reliable

Strong communication and collaboration skills

Excitement to learn, get feedback, and grow as a data engineer

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. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways.
