From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

We are looking for Data Engineering interns who are excited to help scale the systems and pipelines that power decision-making at Figma. As an intern on our data team, you will partner with engineers and analysts to design and build reliable datasets, ensure data quality, and make Figma's data more accessible across the company.

This internship will be based out of our San Francisco or New York Hub.

What you'll do at Figma:

• Build, test, and document data pipelines that bring product or business data into Figma’s data warehouse
• 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.
