Description For Software Engineer

Figma is seeking a Software Engineer to join their developer tools team in London, focusing on enhancing the bridge between design and development. The role centers on Dev Mode, Figma's innovative solution for developer-designer collaboration, launched in 2023. As part of the developer tools pillar, you'll work on streamlining the development lifecycle and improving the handoff between designers and developers. The tech stack includes TypeScript, React/Redux, and WebAssembly for frontend, with Ruby/Sinatra handling backend operations.

The position offers an opportunity to work on cutting-edge developer tools that are reshaping how designers and developers collaborate. You'll be part of a team that's pushing the boundaries of web-based design and development tools, working with modern technologies to solve complex challenges in the design-to-development workflow. The role combines technical expertise with collaborative skills, as you'll work closely with cross-functional teams to build and evolve products that impact millions of users.

This is an ideal opportunity for a mid-level engineer who's passionate about developer tools and has experience with modern web technologies. The position offers the flexibility of working from Figma's UK hub or remotely within the United Kingdom, providing a chance to contribute to a product that's fundamentally changing how teams design and build software.
