What You'll Do at Figma

Lead the execution, coordination, and risk management of Figma's infrastructure projects, ensuring seamless integration with minimal performance impact.

Drive key infrastructure initiatives, including reliability, storage, distributed systems, cloud-native performance improvements, and compliance programs (e.g., encryption key management, FedRAMP, SOC 2).

Partner closely with engineering, security, compliance, and legal teams to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.

Track program milestones and ensure seamless delivery across multiple infrastructure teams, including data, caching, observability, and security engineering.

Provide regular updates to executive leadership, external partners, and internal teams on the status of infrastructure programs, including risks, blockers, and dependencies.

Develop and drive best practices in infrastructure program management, improving visibility into progress, risks, and technical dependencies.

Facilitate large-scale testing and rollout strategies for critical infrastructure changes to minimize downtime and ensure high system reliability.

Translate technical constraints and risks into executive-level communications for senior leadership and external stakeholders.
