Figma

Mid

Build across Figma's product stack, from real-time collaborative front ends to scalable back-end systems

A full-stack engineering role spanning Figma's product surfaces (Editor, FigJam, Slides, Sites, Buzz, Growth & Monetization, Internal Tools, Foundations), building features end-to-end from front-end UX through back-end architecture. Figma evaluates for cross-stack technical range, product mindset, and craft rather than a single specialization, with team placement decided during the interview process.
