Figma is growing our Finance Data Science team at a pivotal moment in the company's evolution. As a public company, the accuracy, scalability, and sophistication of our financial data systems have never been more important. At the same time, Figma's business continues to evolve through new products, AI-powered offerings, acquisitions, and emerging revenue models.

Own and improve the data models that power Figma's financial reporting, including ARR, revenue, billings, collections, and other key business metrics
Build scalable reporting systems, forecasts, and analytical frameworks that support Finance, Accounting, Investor Relations, and executive leadership
Drive data accuracy and completeness across month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes alongside Strategic Finance and Accounting teams
Collaborate with Engineering, Product, GTM Systems, and Financial Systems teams to ensure the completeness and accuracy of financial data
Conduct deep-dive analyses that inform strategic decisions and uncover opportunities to improve business performance
Define, measure, and operationalize key financial and operational metrics
