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 for the Figma iOS app. 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.

• A pragmatic approach to software development software 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 not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Experience as a tech lead or project lead in delivering mobile first experiences that complement a web-based feature set
• Familiarity with web development languages and technologies like Typescript, React, Python, Ruby, etc
• Comfort with doing first draft UI designs in code that use established mobile UI/UX patterns
