Software Engineer

At Figma we truly believe that design does not end in Figma or with your designer, it’s just one part. Design encompasses everything that goes into the product you eventually ship to your customers. Whether that is the code you write to tie it all together, your CI/CD infrastructure that gives you confidence that your products work as expected, or the documentation you write to keep everyone on the same page.

The developer tools pillar at Figma is responsible for the development lifecycle of this design process, the handoff between designers and developers, and closing the loop from production back to design. Our goal is to enable frontend engineers to move (much) faster, spending less time on mundane tasks, and most importantly enable them to deliver the highest quality products to their end users.

This is a full time role that can be held from our UK hub or remotely in the United Kingdom.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Build and evolve Dev Mode, Figma’s leading tool for dev/design collaboration
• Take part in building new 0→1 products within the developer tools space
• Collaborate with designers, PMs, and other engineers crafting high quality products
• Be a mentor to, and be mentored by, exceptional peers across engineering, product & design
• Build strong personal connections with your teammates and help shape Figma’s culture.

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

• 3+ years of experience shipping user-facing features or products as a full-stack developer
• Demonstrated strong fluency with React & Typescript
• Experience communicating and working across functions to proactively drive solutions
• Attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship
• High velocity & a focus on user impact

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Leading large scale engineering projects with high impact
• Driving XFN projects collaborating with Product, Design, Data & Research
• Working with C++ in a user-facing context
• Working with Ruby / Ruby on Rails.
• Developing for iOS and/or Android
