Software Engineer – Full-Stack at Figma

Website Figma

Software Engineer – Full-Stack

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, create, test, and ship better designs, together. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

As a full-stack engineer at Figma, you will design, build, and test new features for users of Figma’s suite of design products. You’ll find yourself working across our Ruby backend, React/Redux/Typescript frontend, or even diving into technical surfaces like our C++ Editor codebase, or our realtime and multiplayer services.
You will work closely with your team’s product, design, research, and data partners to co-create and execute on the roadmap for your team. As an active Figmate, you will help influence product and design direction through instrumenting experiments, owning product improvements, and leading larger feature initiatives. At Figma, we really value what it means to be a maker – we have a Maker Week several times a year, where experimental projects can become fully-launched features! 
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:

  • Collaborate with designers, PMs, and other engineers to plan features and build a high quality product that enable people of all backgrounds to engage with the design process.
  • Improve Figma’s performance and reliability by building new features or polishing existing parts of the product.
  • Be a mentor and provide thoughtful feedback to your peers, and benefit from strong personal and professional mentorship opportunity yourself.
  • Build strong personal connections with your teammates and help shape Figma’s culture.

Some projects you could work on:

  • Version control and review workflows for design files with full support for branching, conflict resolution, and comments to enable large organizations to collaborate effectively.
  • A discovery feed in Figma Community, with a custom ranking algorithm and user-specific content to help grow and support the global design community.
  • Tools to engage qualitative research and in-product experiments to build empathy for users and help their teams successfully adopt Figma and FigJam.
  • The layout engines in the editor with interactive components and variants.
  • Our accessibility strategy, which includes improvements to the Figma UI (contrast, keyboard navigability, etc.) as well as tools to help people generate accessible content as they do their own work.

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

  • At least 3+ years working as a professional software engineer. 
  • Experience building web applications and enjoy engaging with product & design while working across both the frontend and backend stack.
  • Demonstrated fluency with one or more programming languages, including but not limited to Typescript/Javascript, Ruby, C++, or Go
  • Proactive communication skills and a desire to work in a collaborative environment.
  • An interest in learning from others and digging into new challenges.
  • An inclusive and collaborative attitude towards building features, solving problems, and growing teams.
