Software Engineer, Full Stack

About the role

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. 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.

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 are highly cross-functional, partnering closely with Product, Design, Research, and Data to deliver best-in-class experiences. This opportunity applies to openings at varying seniority levels across our teams, including but not limited to Figma Editor, FigJam, Figma Slides, Figma Sites, Figma Buzz, Growth & Monetization, Internal Tools, Frontend Platform, and our cross-product Foundations team.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

• Familiarity with C++ and WebAssembly in user-facing applications
• Background in areas such as growth engineering, frontend platform work (build systems, web performance, shared UI/component infrastructure), 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
• Experience leading large-scale projects or launching 0→1 products, with a passion for mentoring peers and shaping engineering culture
