Figma's platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world.

We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world's leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we're building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft — a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.
We're looking for experienced graphics engineers to join the Figma Weave team. Whether you're improving optimizing our custom rendering engine, implementing high performance support for video compositing, or working on our effects pipeline, your work will directly impact the experiences of our users—from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
