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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

  • 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.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
