From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
Server Platform is at the core of Figma's infrastructure foundation! This area owns the foundational layer of infrastructure that underpins all other infrastructure and application services at Figma. The Foundation team under Server Platform is Infrastructure's infrastructure. This team enables the efficient operation and rapid development of reliable infrastructure at Figma through opinionated platforms.
We are building the V2 of Infrastructure and setting key initiatives that will set the tone for infrastructure for the next half decade.

What you'll do at Figma:
- Design, build and operate scalable distributed systems and services that power Figma's innovative tools for design and collaboration
- Develop and secure our internal and edge network running on AWS
- Help design and deploy an internal service mesh network which can support Figma's growing portfolio of services and features
- Develop intelligent detection and auto-scaling countermeasures for DDoS threats
- Debug and resolve production issues across services and multiple layers of the stack, reducing mean time to resolution for critical incidents
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- 4+ years of experience building infrastructure components and services at scale in a cloud environment
- Experience with programming languages like TypeScript or Go
- Experience building and scaling distributed and traffic systems as an individual contributor and/or Team Lead
