Figma’s most recent SEC-filed count is 1,886 full-time employees as of December 31, 2025. Its S-1 listed 1,646 as of March 31, 2025, a 62.3% jump over the 1,014 reported a year earlier. Hiring kept running after the July 2025 IPO.

Third-party trackers count differently. Revelio Labs, which estimates headcount from public professional profiles, tracked 1,619 people at the end of 2025. Figma’s SEC number of 1,886 is the official full-time count; the trackers are separate estimates and should not be read as the same measure.
Figma Employees by Department
Engineering dominates the org chart, which fits a product that renders real-time multiplayer design in the browser. Sales and support form the next block, reflecting the enterprise push since the listing. The breakdown below comes from Unify’s profile-based data, which runs slightly above the SEC count.
| Department | Employees | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering | 755 | 39% |
| Sales and Support | 373 | 20% |
| Marketing and Product | 259 | 14% |
| Business Management | 140 | 7% |
| Human Resources | 111 | 6% |
| Information Technology | 95 | 5% |
| Finance and Administration | 75 | 4% |
| Operations | 42 | 2% |
| Legal | 18 | 1% |
| Other | 48 | 2% |

Close to four in ten Figma staff write code, a ratio nearer an infrastructure firm than a typical SaaS vendor. The concentration explains why so much of the engineering talent visible in these designer and developer desk tours now lives inside Figma day to day.

Figma Employee Salaries by Region
Figma’s average salary is $151,238 globally, per Revelio Labs, though pay splits sharply by region. Northern America sits highest at a median near $194,000, roughly 1.3 times the global average. Median employee tenure is 2.5 years, short but typical for a company that has scaled this fast.

Equity carries much of the real package. Figma recorded a one-time $975.7 million stock-based compensation charge in Q3 2025 tied to the IPO, which pushed the year to a $1.3 billion GAAP operating loss against $129.5 million in non-GAAP operating income.
Figma Revenue Per Employee
Figma booked $1.056 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue against 1,886 year-end employees. That works out to about $560,000 per employee. Revenue rose 41% for the year, with Q4 at $303.8 million, up 40%.
The customer base behind that output: 13,861 paid customers above $10,000 in annual recurring revenue, 1,405 above $100,000, and 67 above $1 million as of December 31, 2025. Net dollar retention was 136%, meaning existing customers spent 36% more than a year earlier.
| Paid customer tier | Customers |
|---|---|
| More than $10,000 ARR | 13,861 |
| More than $100,000 ARR | 1,405 |
| More than $1,000,000 ARR | 67 |

A 136% retention rate means a large share of growth arrived without matching sales hires. That is part of why engineering, not sales, absorbed most of the new headcount.
Figma Hiring Trends and Job Openings
Figma’s recruiting stayed active through 2025. Revelio Labs counted 394 active job postings for the year, a 79.4% rise over 2024, at roughly 115 new roles a month. New postings per month eased from 157 in 2023, so volume is high but cooling.
| Year | Active job postings |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 135 |
| 2024 | 170 |
| 2025 | 394 |

The hiring lean toward engineering and AI roles lines up with product growth. Weekly active users of Figma Make grew over 70% quarter over quarter in Q4 2025, with over half of $100,000-plus customers building in it weekly. Independent makers show the same pull toward these tools in remote design workflows built around Figma.
Figma Employee Satisfaction Ratings
Post-IPO growth has stretched parts of the culture, and reviews reflect it. Figma holds a 3.6 out of 5 overall rating on Glassdoor across 217 reviews, with 55% of reviewers recommending it to a friend. That sits just under the 3.9 information technology industry average Glassdoor cites.
| Glassdoor category | Rating (out of 5) |
|---|---|
| Overall | 3.6 |
| Compensation and benefits | 3.8 |
| Culture and values | 3.7 |
| Career opportunities | 3.1 |
| Work-life balance | 3.0 |
Source: Glassdoor, opt-in employee reviews (217 reviews), 2026.
Pay and culture score well; work-life balance is the soft spot at 3.0. Scores commonly dip as a startup turns into a public company, and Figma’s numbers read mixed rather than negative. Reviewers who value flexibility often model it on a product designer’s home workspace.
