Software Engineer, Production Engineering
Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
The Production Engineering team focuses on end-to-end reliability, durability, scalability, and performance of Figma products and services. We’re looking for an experienced 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

Experience managing infrastructure services in AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud
A track record for being able to diagnose problems within complex systems.
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have
Excellent problem solving skills and technical communication skills. You use a systematic and thorough approach. You think from first principles and have a bias for action. You are driven by impact. You are willing to work on grungy problems if they have a high impact on the business or the health of the infrastructure.
Care deeply about the quality of the software / systems you build. You have an artisan mentality and are always looking to improve your craft. At the same time you are able to strike the right balance between idealism and pragmatism.
