Research Intern, Inference (Winter 2027)

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. 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! Figma’s Data Science team partners across product, engineering, design, marketing, sales, and operations to help Figma make better decisions with data. As a PhD Data Science Intern, you’ll bring rigorous research training to some of Figma’s most important and open-ended questions, from researching emerging product and user behaviors and Figma’s broader ecosystem to developing new measurement methodologies, applying causal inference or machine learning, and building analytical systems. You’ll own a data science project end-to-end: from framing the question and methodology to translating findings into insights that influence Figma’s products, strategy, or data science practices; with the potential to continue toward publication after the internship. This internship will be based out of our San Francisco or New York hub. What you’ll do at Figma: Partner with cross-functional teams to turn ambiguous product, platform, or business questions into well-defined data science problems Analyze user, product, or business data to uncover insights and recommend actions Design and evaluate experiments, metrics, statistical or machine learning models, and analytical frameworks Communicate assumptions, tradeoffs, limitations, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical partners Own a focused internship project end-to-end, from problem framing and technical execution through final recommendations, with potential to continue toward publication after the internship We’d love to hear from you if you h

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together . We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. This internship will take place from January 25 - April 16 and you will need to be able to work out of our SF office during this time. What You'll Achieve: Conduct data analyses to gain insights about Notion and use these insights to uncover opportunities for improvements in our product and business. Communicate these insights with actionable recommendations to cross-functional teams (insights are useful, impact is even better!). Work with cross-functional partners across the product and business to learn about their functions and use data to advance their respective areas. Create metrics and build dashboards to monitor the growth and health of Notion. Communicate insights and recommendations effectively to leadership and have an impact on strategic decision-making. Qualifications: Pursuing a bachelor's or master's in a quantitative field such as Economics, Statistics, Applied Math, Engineering, Computer Science, or Natural Sciences. Must graduate before December 2027. This internship will take place from January 25 - April 16 and you will need to be able to work out of our SF office during this time.
