Figma
Figma's developer tools pillar aims to enable frontend engineers to move faster and deliver high-quality products. The team partners with other product and engineering teams to push the boundaries of collaboration between design and engineering. As a full-time role, you'll build and evolve Dev Mode, collaborate on new 0→1 products, and mentor exceptional peers across engineering, product, and design. With experience in React, Typescript, and Ruby/Sinatra, you'll contribute to Figma's culture and shape the future of user-facing features and products. Flexible remote work options are available.
At Figma we truly believe that design does not end in Figma or with your designer, it’s just one part. Design encompasses everything that goes into the product you eventually ship to your customers. Whether that is the code you write to tie it all together, your CI/CD infrastructure that gives you confidence that your products work as expected, or the documentation you write to keep everyone on the same page.
The developer tools pillar at Figma is responsible for the development lifecycle of this design process, the handoff between designers and developers, and closing the loop from production back to design. Our goal is to enable frontend engineers to move (much) faster, spending less time on mundane tasks, and most importantly enable them to deliver the highest quality products to their end users.
In 2023, we launched Dev Mode, a suite of features that gives developers everything they need to navigate design files and transform designs into code. With Dev Mode, designers and developers stay in sync, making sure vital details aren’t lost in the handoff process. The team partners with other product and engineering teams to ensure Figma continues to push the boundaries of collaboration between design and engineering. Looking to the future, e aim to go beyond design handoff, streamlining and accelerating front-end development even further.
Most of Figma’s developer surfaces are built on Typescript, React/Redux, and WebAssembly. This allows us to develop rapidly while maintaining performance & type safety. Our backend APIs are written in Ruby/Sinatra primarily and most data is stored in a relational database or file storage.
This is a full time role that can be held from our UK hub or remotely in the United Kingdom.
