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

Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page.

The Production Engineering team focuses on end-to-end reliability, durability, scalability, and performance of Figma products and services. We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to scale and drive the initiatives and programs that support Figma’s production engineering efforts, allowing our product teams to rapidly deliver new features.

This is a critical part of success for both our ability to build new products and features, support the growth of our user base, and enable innovation for all engineering (infrastructure and product teams, alike). We’re looking for a generalist with a strong grasp of Computer Science fundamentals.

The ideal candidate will have experience building and running complex large scale services. Additionally, they will have a passion for building tools that simplify operating large-scale infrastructure and for improving the operational maturity of Figma.

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

  • Work closely with the engineering team to define standard methodologies and goals around reliability, durability, scalability, and performance
  • Address common operational challenges through better telemetry and by building tools / services
  • Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack
  • Participate in design reviews and production reviews for new features, products or infrastructure components
  • Plan for the growth of Figma’s infrastructure
  • Operate and maintain AWS Infrastructure

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