Benefits

- While aiming for the sky in terms of longer term vision, you will deliver incremental value every sprint by being grounded in today's reality.
Company info
- collaborate with Marketing to align on cross-channel messaging, partner with growth teams to identify platform capability needs, and work with product teams to ensure growth messaging improves rather than detracts from the end-user experience
- Shape the platform vision: Define what to build next based on adoption, impact, and what you learn from each phase. The roadmap will evolve as we learn-you'll be central to how it evolves
- We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience at the application or product tier
- Experience driving outsized impact from small changes-say, a UI layout change that lifted growth 20%-and energized by enabling such wins at 10x scale
- Demonstrate strategic insight to optimize impact for both longer and short term.
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, delivering continuous value while building toward a longer-term platform vision
- Track record of prioritizing by impact, leveraging existing assets to accelerate, and scaling through platform-level thinking
- Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, product, design, and data
- While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:

- Experience integrating with customer data platforms, marketing automation systems, or building user attribute services from product usage data
- 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.
