Figma is on a mission to make design accessible to all, and we are expanding our team of passionate individuals to help achieve this goal. Our platform, born on the web, empowers entire product teams to brainstorm, design, and build better products from start to finish. We focus on consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, and enhancing collaboration across teams and time zones, making the design process faster, more efficient, and enjoyable. We believe that great products and long-lasting companies are built through collaboration, and we invite you to join us in this endeavor. The Application Platform team plays a crucial role in Figma's core backend platform. This team is responsible for developing the application primitives that backend engineers across the company utilize, including data access frameworks, asynchronous job platforms, and developer tools. Additionally, the Application Platform team oversees the core architecture of our backend codebase, emphasizing the need to scale development velocity to accommodate our rapidly growing engineering team. This involves defining best practices that are adopted across the company and enabling teams to decouple their product verticals from one another. We are seeking experienced engineers to join our team and help Figma create world-class design and collaboration products. Ideal candidates will have a background in working with large-scale, shared backend codebases and implementing scalable patterns. They will have experience in maintaining robust and reliable distributed systems that are essential for core product functionality. Most importantly, we are looking for individuals who are passionate about building for builders and enhancing the overall engineering experience at Figma.
