Figma is seeking a Software Engineer to join their Product Engineering team in London, focusing on developer tools and collaboration features. The role is part of the developer tools pillar, responsible for streamlining the development lifecycle and improving design-to-development workflows. In 2023, the team launched Dev Mode, a suite of features that enhances developer-designer collaboration and transforms designs into code efficiently.
The position involves working with modern technologies including TypeScript, React/Redux, and WebAssembly for frontend development, while backend systems utilize Ruby/Sinatra with relational databases. The team's mission is to revolutionize how developers and designers work together, making the design-to-code process more seamless and efficient.
This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level engineer who wants to impact how millions of developers and designers collaborate. The role offers a blend of technical challenges, from building new features to optimizing existing ones, while working in a collaborative environment with designers, product managers, and fellow engineers.
The ideal candidate will have experience in full-stack development, strong TypeScript and React skills, and the ability to work effectively across different functions. While the core requirements focus on frontend expertise, additional experience with C++, Ruby, or mobile development would be valuable. Figma values growth and learning, encouraging applications from candidates who show potential and enthusiasm, even if their experience doesn't perfectly match all requirements.
