The AI Products Data Science org is at the center of next generation products within Figma. With a charge to uplevel Figma’s use of data, the team works alongside other Data Scientists and Engineering to identify ways to implement and democratize new statistical methods, build data frameworks, and incorporate data within Figma’s product development process. The team contributes to the company’s goals by collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, and our finance team to uncover new opportunities, identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements through data-driven insights.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Lead, support, and grow a team of data scientists and data science managers with varied strengths and expertise focused on product strategy, internal tooling, and Impact measurement
• Champion data quality, accessibility, and the democratization of data across the company
• Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, Research, Sales, Marketing, or Finance to drive impact

We're looking for a research-minded Data Scientist to join the Core Data team. This team is a group of analytics professionals and Engineers building the foundational platforms for data science at Figma.  We build the experimentation, analytics, and AI tooling that every product team relies on to make confident, data-driven decisions, partnering closely with Data Infra, ML, and Applied Science to evolve our platforms and embed AI into the daily workflows of data scientists across the company.

This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of rigorous research and real-world impact. You'll bring PhD-level depth to problems that matter. This includes advancing our experimentation platform and developing machine learning-based analytical systems. You will also help craft how we measure AI-powered features through causal inference and statistical modeling.  

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States. 

What you'll do at Figma:

• Partner across teams to define and track important metrics, develop experiments, and uncover insights that inform strategic decisions  
• Accelerate Figma's experimentation platform and methodology, including A/B testing frameworks and causal inference techniques
• Construct models and analytical frameworks based on machine learning to support product, platform, and business initiatives  
• Create tools, datasets, and systems that enable others to work with data more efficiently and rigorously
• Complete and own complex data projects end-to-end, from problem prioritisation to solution delivery  
• Drive data quality, accessibility, and the democratization of data across the organization

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

• PhD in a quantitative field (Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Operations Research, Physics, or related) with a strong foundation in statistical methods, experimentation, and/or machine learning
• Fluency in SQL and proficiency in a scripting language like Python or R, with exposure to distributed data systems (e.g. Snowflake) through research or internships
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• A curious and rigorous mindset, with a passion for translating research into real-world impact

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

• Publications or research experience in experimentation or applied ML; industry internship experience applying data science to product or business problems
• An AI-native mindset, with exposure to or interest in LLM analytics, AI product measurement, or evaluating the impact of AI-powered features
• A self-starter attitude and the ability to thrive in ambiguous and fast-paced environments

As a Security Engineer you will identify and drive impactful projects to improve the security of Figma’s product, platform, and IT systems. We are hiring for multiple teams within Security Engineering: AI Security, Platform Security, Product Security, and Anti-Abuse. This is a remote first role. 

You will partner closely with teams across the company and focus on systemic security improvements and risk reduction. You will also participate in operational security responsibilities like security reviews, consulting, vulnerability triage, and security incident response.

Examples of what you may work on across teams:

AI Security

• Perform technical security assessments, code audits, and design reviews for new AI infrastructure, platforms, and products.
• Design and develop technical solutions to secure AI models, tooling, debugging workflows, and data pipelines.
• Advocate for secure practices across Figma’s AI infrastructure, platforms, and data systems.
• Build the next generation of internal AI-powered access insights and security tooling.
• Help run penetration testing and offensive security exercises against Figma’s AI infrastructure, platforms, and products.

Platform Security

• Perform technical security assessments, code audits, and design reviews for changes to Figma’s cloud and corporate infrastructure.
• Design and develop solutions to prevent or mitigate cloud and corporate security risks.
• Advocate for secure practices within Figma’s cloud and corporate infrastructure.
• Build platforms and tooling to detect and respond to infrastructure and corporate security threats.

Product Security

• Perform technical security assessments, code audits, and design reviews for new product features.
• Design and develop solutions to prevent or mitigate product security vulnerabilities.
• Advocate for secure development practices across Figma’s products and services.
• Help run penetration testing, offensive security exercises, and support our bug bounty program.
• Help respond to product security incidents.

Anti-Abuse

• Design and build technical systems to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
• Partner closely with product teams to identify and address potential abuse vectors.
• Develop new signals and improve the use of existing signals to detect abusive behavior.
• Help respond to spam, fraud, and abuse incidents.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

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

• 5+ years of proven engineering experience working in either a Security Engineering or a Software Engineering role. In the case of the latter, some security experience is preferred.
• Strong security judgment in threat modeling and risk prioritization and/or strong technical judgment in designing and building maintainable, scalable systems.
• Proficiency in at least one general-purpose coding language.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated experience collaborating across functions.

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

• Subject matter expertise in Application Security, Cloud Security, Corporate Security, Data Access Governance, and/or IAM (Identity and Access Management).
• Demonstrated ability to make hard prioritization decisions in security controls.

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.
