Lead Engineer Jobs

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible 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! You will be the first engineering manager for the Growth Platform, and you’ll help shape its vision, starting with the Communications capability. The platform will grow as we prove value. You’ll partner with leadership to define the platform’s direction, assess existing technology, identify the next set of investments, and help evolve the vision through learning gained from shipping, customers, and overall ecosystem. While aiming for the sky in terms of longer term vision, you will deliver incremental value every sprint by being grounded in today's reality. 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: Build and lead the team: Hire the initial engineers for the Growth Platform’s first team. Set the team’s culture, operating rhythm, and engineering standards. Mentor engineers, create career growth opportunities, and help scale the organization as scope expands Build capabilities that unlock new experiments: This isn’t about building an experimentation platform—it’s about building the product capabilities (personalized messaging, self-service publishing, cross-system integrations) that make it dramatically easier for teams across Figma to run growth experiments without engineering bottlenecks Leverage AI to scale quality and speed: Explore and integrate AI-driven approaches—for brand consistency checks, visual quality validation, copy generation, and experiment governance—that allow experiment volume to grow
