Figma is hiring: Web Developer in San Francisco

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

As a Web Developer at Figma, you will play a vital role in building and maintaining our web platform. You will be responsible for working with a cross-functional team of designers, marketers, data scientists, and engineers to develop and maintain Figma's marketing site, designsystems.com, and event sites. You will be working with a variety of modern web technologies including React, NextJS, Gatsby, Typescript, GraphQL, headless CMS (Sanity/Contentful) and other NodeJS based frameworks. Your role will also include collaborating on OKR planning, roadmapping, onboarding new team members, and managing vendor relationships.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Be a core contributor to the back-end and front-end development, optimization, and infrastructure of the Figma marketing website.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Growth, Brand, and SEO teams to ensure reliable, performant, accessible, and secure sites.
• Design and implement scalable web architecture, including host and distributed systems (e.g. AWS, CloudFront).
• Lead projects end-to-end — maintaining timelines, stakeholder expectations, ticket triaging, and regularly presenting with teammates and leadership.
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to other engineers on the team.
• Mentor team members, support new hires during onboarding, and provide technical guidance to technical and non-technical collaborators.
• Create and maintain comprehensive testing strategies to ensure code quality, reliability, and performance.
• Make recommendations for the latest web technologies and improvements.

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

• 3+ years of development experience in frameworks (NextJS, Gatsby), and headless content management systems (Sanity, Contentful).
• Experience with QA and testing, server rendered and statically generated sites.
• Understanding of site security, database operation/management, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD strategy and deployment processes.
• Experience with caching and web optimization techniques while using Agile development methodologies.

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

• Solid understanding of conversion rate optimization standard methodologies, using A/B testing to achieve results.
• Experience working on SEO-driven projects, localization, performance optimization & experimentation.

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 anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
