The Client Platform team’s mission is to empower Figma’s client developers to rapidly adopt best practices, create features, and own performance and quality end-to-end. Figma’s browser-based products like Figma Design and FigJam are built on a unique client-side stack that integrates the core engine built with C++/WebAssembly with a modern web stack.  This team is building automated client testing and observability frameworks that are used by Figma engineers at every stage of product development. This blog post is an example of how we are implementing novel solutions for addressing Figma’s unique challenges.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma:

  • Develop deep knowledge of Figma’s client-side stack and its interfaces to backend sub-systems.

  • Build client testing frameworks to enable Figma engineers to detect feature and memory / performance regressions proactively.

  • Improve the performance of Figma’s products by building observability metrics and tooling to measure and debug degradations in core metrics (frame rates, memory, CPU utilization) in collaboration with feature teams and data science teams.

  • Provide leadership and engineering teams visibility into their quality and performance to maintain / improve Figma's high bar for product excellence.

  • Be a part of a unique engineering culture that fosters learning, belonging and impact.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • At least 4+ years experience building web frontend products with a passion for adopting best practices in testing and observability frameworks.

  • Experience working with client-side frontend technologies like React, testing frameworks like Jasmine/Jest/Playwright, observability systems for error reporting, real-time telemetry and analytics logging, build tools like Bazel and CI/CD frameworks, cloud services like AWS, and code coverage and performance/runtime profiling tools.

  • Demonstrated coding fluency with one or more programming languages in a working context, including but not limited to: Typescript/Javascript, C++, React, Ruby, Java, Python, Go, or Rust.

  • Experience communicating and collaborating regularly and effectively with designers, data science, PMs, engineers, and stakeholders beyond your team (or org) to plan features and break down high level goals into tasks and timelines.

  • Demonstrated unwavering commitment for improving product quality by building tools and frameworks for engineers.

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

  • 2+ years of experience operating in a hands-on technical lead capacity, ideally with multi-team purview. 

  • Have a track record for being able to diagnose problems within complex systems.

  • A passion for and experience with driving foundational initiatives that improve product quality and internal velocity.

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. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
