Figma is a data-driven organization. Data Infrastructure owns the platform used across the company to generate financial reports, key business metrics (e.g., WAU / MAU, etc), product analytics, etc. We are making significant investments to build a self-serve platform that can address a wide range of needs from across the company – from understanding our user’s experience with Figma to ensuring that our financial pipelines are robust. In addition, you will collaborate closely with leadership to help evolve our Infrastructure platform. 

We’re hiring a seasoned engineering leader who has experience building and supporting both Engineering managers and Senior level IC’s.

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:

  • As a Director of Engineering for Data Infrastructure, you will lead an engineering organization, defining and developing the roadmap and technical strategy for our next generation of data infrastructure 

  • Work closely with Engineering Teams to define and build the infrastructure foundation to support best-in-class collaboration experiences, ML/AI platforms, and vital business insights

  • Build a healthy, scalable, inclusive, and growth-oriented engineering organization. Not only help with Data Infrastructure, but also help broader Infrastructure and Figma Engineering initiatives

  • Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in tandem with other leaders in the organization

  • Figma is committed to building an inclusive and diverse team and culture. You will play a role in helping to build and drive these initiatives through hiring, community events, and other programs in partnership with teams across all of Figma

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

  • 5+ years of experience hiring and leading teams as an engineering leader with at least 2 years of experience managing managers

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering roles, ideally reaching staff level as an individual contributor

  • Demonstrated experience building scaling data infrastructure systems in an online environment

  • Demonstrated leadership skills in building a high-performing and highly engaged engineering team; including a proven track record of motivating, mentoring, and guiding senior engineers and engineering managers

  • Strong partnership mentality and ability to manage multiple cross-functional stakeholder groups, such as Data Science, Finance, Engineering and Product.

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

  • Experience building both online and offline distributed systems at scale as an engineer or leader.

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