  • A pragmatic approach to software development software that delivers real user value through maintainable, performant code
  • A strong product sense and desire to deeply understand users
  • Enthusiasm for mentoring other engineers and helping shape engineering culture

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

  • Experience as a tech lead or project lead in delivering mobile first experiences that complement a web-based feature set
  • Familiarity with web development languages and technologies like Typescript, React, Python, Ruby, etc
  • Comfort with doing first draft UI designs in code that use established mobile UI/UX patterns
  • Experience with one or more of the following complementary areas:

  • Instrumenting user behavior metrics and creating visualizations to show trends

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
