Job description

The Mobile Product team supports Figma’s powerful companion apps for iOS and Android. We are looking for new team members who value collaboration, usability, and excellence to maintain and build new features that span web and native code. You’ll work closely with your engineering peers to chart out upcoming work and how best to execute on it. You’ll brainstorm with cross-functional partners (design, product, research, data science) to deliver delightful mobile experiences to Figma’s users.

We also work with product teams across Figma to identify the most impactful features to bring to mobile and continuously invest in the quality of our mobile apps to make them a joy to use for designers (and everyone else!).

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What youll do at Figma:

  • Work with PMs, designers, and native engineers to bring Figma’s most popular features to iPhone and Android

  • Build, refine, and maintain the web user interfaces and backend endpoints that are embedded in Figma’s mobile apps

  • Guide the evolution of new web-first features into powerful mobile-friendly experiences

  • 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

  • Participate in on-call and release shepherd duties for our native apps

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional experience building fullstack web-based mobile experiences

  • 2+ years of professional experience building native Android or iOS mobile applications

  • A strong understanding of mobile product development practices and web product development practices

  • Proactive communication skills and a desire to work in a collaborative environment with iOS, Android, and web engineers

  • A pragmatic approach to software development that delivers real user value through maintainable, performant code

  • A strong product sense and desire to deeply understand users

  • Enthusiasm for mentoring other engineers and helping shape engineering culture

While its not required, its an added plus if you also have:

  • Excitement to grow into new technology stacks

  • Experience influencing development practices across an engineering organization

  • Comfort with doing first draft UI designs in code that use established mobile UI/UX patterns

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.

Job level and actual compensation will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process (including skills and prior relevant experience, potential impact, and scope of role), market demands, and specific work location.
