Software Engineer - Identity & Access Management

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Identity & Access Management (IAM) team. The IAM team owns foundational technology that empowers Figma to deliver secure convenient and scalable access to our customers. Sharing and real-time collaboration is the core of what makes Figma magic as a browser-first tool and the IAM team is responsible for the systems that makes this possible across a growing suite of products. The IAM team also owns the user’s identity and we leverage industry standards such as SAML SCIM to provide seamless SSO experience.

This team sits within the Enterprise area - you’ll work closely with other product teams focused on monetizing our largest customers. This is an opportunity to get in early on a growing team that works on interesting backend systems with large business impact.

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:

• Join a team of backend-focused engineers responsible for developing Figma's identity & access management systems

• Collaborate with product engineering and data science teams to define the team’s vision technical direction and roadmap

• Define and execute on engineering projects to enable our Enterprise customers to manage access to Figma at massive scale

• Support engineering projects to enable internal product teams to move fast and safely when building new products and writing authorization logic

• Mentor and collaborate with high-performing engineers. You'll contribute to a culture of innovation collaboration and calculated risk-taking

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

• 5+ years of cloud or SaaS software development experience especially in large-scale systems

• Domain expertise in Identity & Access Management: you’ve worked on authorization authentication and/or identity systems.

• Hands-on technical experience: you have built complex backend systems as an individual contributor and can represent the technical details of work shipped by the team.

• Demonstrated technical leadership skills in defining technical direction solving complex technical problems and decomposing large projects into manageable chunks.

• Proven track record of building scaling and shipping high-quality products in high growth environments

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

• Previous experience in B2B SaaS and familiarity working with enterprise customers and/or enterprise identity protocols (SAML SCIM)

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