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

We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world's leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we're building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft — a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.

• Operate and monitor the systems you build, with a strong focus on reliability, security, performance, and user experience
• Contribute to team culture by mentoring peers, providing feedback, and helping foster a collaborative and inclusive engineering environment

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and maintaining complex systems or products in production
