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.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to build both the products and the platforms that empower millions of users—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—to create and collaborate in real time. Your work will directly shape the future of how teams bring ideas to life. You’ll take on complex technical challenges across the stack, building intuitive user experiences, optimizing performance in real‑time collaborative systems, and designing secure, reliable, and scalable systems to support Figma’s rapid growth and global expansion.

Our engineers partner closely with Product, Design, Research, and Data to deliver best‑in‑class experiences.

• Design, build, and ship high‑quality features across the stack, from polished front‑end experiences to scalable back‑end systems
• Contribute to both new product development and improvements to established products, balancing user experience craft with performance and architecture quality
• Own projects end‑to‑end — ideation, technical design, implementation, testing, launch, and iteration
• Collaborate with cross‑functional partners in Product, Design, Research, and Data to shape product direction and strategy
• Operate, monitor, and continuously improve the systems you build, with a strong focus on reliability, security, and scalability
• Mentor teammates, contribute to team culture, and share knowledge through code reviews, design critiques, and pairing

• Proven experience in shipping and maintaining full‑stack applications in production
• Strong proficiency in modern front‑end frameworks (e.g., React/Type Script) and back‑end technologies (e.g., Ruby, Python, Go, C++, Postgre
  
  SQL)
• A product mindset, with the ability to translate user needs into scalable technical solutions
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience working effectively across cross‑functional teams
• Passion for engineering craft and building polished, maintainable, and scalable systems

• Experience leading large‑scale projects or launching 0→1 products
• Familiarity with C++ and Web Assembly in user‑facing applications
• Background in areas such as growth engineering, developer tooling, billing and payments infrastructure, or extensibility platforms (plugins, APIs, widgets)
• Exposure to technologies like Stripe, Salesforce, Snowflake, SCIM, SAML, or experimentation and observability tooling
• A passion for mentoring peers and helping shape engineering culture

We’re excited about this role, but if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
