We are looking for innovators who value collaboration, usability, and inclusivity. To help us build a successful product, we need individuals who think about many facets of accessibility while providing a delightful experience.

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:
  • Work with designers, PMs, and other engineers to bring Figma to Android devices
  • Build with some of the newest Android technologies like Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, coroutines and flows
  • Participate in user research and testing to better understand our customers
  • Share responsibility for testing, releasing, and maintaining our mobile apps
  • Communicate and document architectural designs and requirements
  • Provide thoughtful feedback to others on the team
  • Help interview and recruit more talented engineers to Figma
Some projects you could work on:
  • Enable feedback on the go, creating a mobile-first experience for user comments
  • Ensure no activity goes unnoticed by supporting push notifications
  • Experiment and foster new, collaborative interaction models for Figma’s community on iPad and iPhone
  • Bring existing web features to iPad, adapting for a touch-first experience
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 2+ years of professional experience building Android applications 
  • Extensive understanding of mobile product development
  • Proactive communication skills and a desire to work in a collaborative environment
  • Since you will be collaborating with Figma’s core product teams, having TypeScript/C++ experience is a major plus as these are the languages used for our editor. You’ll be helping to bridge/build relationships across multiple orgs

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.
