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. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!
Mobile Platform builds and maintains the foundational systems that power mobile at Figma. Figma’s mobile offerings are some of the most complex interplay between web/native/C++ in the industry. As a result our team works across the entire stack, with experts and generalists that are able to operate within Swift, Kotlin, C++, JS, Python/Ruby.
Our mission is to build infrastructure that boost quality and product velocity for our partner teams, in order to accelerate mobile’s impact within Figma. We do this by building highly reliable systems that products are often built on, create monitoring systems for guard quality, and directly operate on some of the most sensitive aspects of our user experience. Our success hinges on close collaboration with many partner teams, and requires individuals who are able to collaborate with a wide-range of cross-functional experts. With our partners, we maximize the effectiveness of our mobile products, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.
The team is currently tackling one of the most fundamental problems with Figma’s core systems: they are too resource-heavy to operate within mobile, and we’ll need to come up with a solution that enables Figma to operate in a low-resource environment.
Mobile Platform is looking for engineers with domain expertise in iOS, as well as both high- and low-level performance optimization. We’re looking for someone who is excited to define what foundational mobile technology can mean at Figma, by leveraging Figma’s deep expertise within C++/WASM/JS. Much of Figma’s systems are built in a cross-platform manner, leveraging Switf/Kotlin/C++/JS. As such, we’re looking for engineers who are excited to work across the stack.
Figma is a highly collaborative organization and most projects are owned by small teams of 2-3 people. You’ll form strong relationships with product managers, other mobile platform engineers, and can expect to partner regularly with engineers and leaders beyond your immediate team. We strive to foster an inclusive culture that promotes equity and belonging, and use the following values to guide how we work together: communicate early and often, lift your team, focus on craftsmanship, and prioritize impact. You can learn more about our engineering values and how we developed them here.
