Cannot combine shapes into single SVGs

recording

I would like to be able to combine shapes into a single path, like I can in Figma. I tried to re-create a very simple logo I made in Figma in Sketch, and ran into this issue. Also worth noting that the SVG code that comes out of Figma is cleaner than the code that comes out of Sketch.
