Job description

We're looking for an Open Source Developer to help shape the future of extensible, collaborative tooling across product teams and represent Figma in the open source community. In this role, you'll build and scale open-source-powered frameworks, developer tools, and user-facing features that enable teams-including large enterprises and CMS-driven organizations-to create, manage, and publish digital experiences more efficiently.

You'll work across modern web technologies, designing scalable front-end systems, contributing to open source ecosystems, and helping define how external developers and partners extend and integrate with Figma. If you're excited about building impactful products in the open and engaging with developer communities, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a full-time role that can be held from our New York City or San Francisco hub - or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma:

  • Design, build, and ship high-quality features and frameworks using TypeScript/JavaScript and React, delivering performant, polished user experiences
  • Lead 01 open source initiatives from technical design and implementation through launch, documentation, and community adoption, including ongoing maintenance and community engagement
  • Architect scalable front-end systems that support complex data models, real-time collaboration, and CMS-driven or enterprise workflows
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Design, Research, Marketing, and Developer Relations to shape roadmap priorities and drive ecosystem growth
  • Mentor teammates and elevate engineering craft through code reviews, design critiques, and knowledge sharing

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

  • Demonstrated 2+ years of experience building and shipping production web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and React
  • Proficient in modern web tooling and software distribution (e.g., Next.js, Turbopack and bundlers, CI/CD, GitHub Actions)
  • Experienced in contributing to, maintaining, or actively participating in open source communities
  • Skilled at leading development of applications with complex data models and highly interactive user interfaces
  • Familiar with enterprise requirements such as scalability, security, governance, content management workflows, and design systems

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

  • Experience building with Payload, writing plugins, or contributing to Payload
  • Proven ability to design, build, and maintain extensible software (e.g., SDKs, plugins, APIs, or CMS integrations)
  • Knowledge of AI technologies or end developer tooling (AI SDK, RAG, Prompt Engineering)
  • Experience launching 01 products or developer-facing platforms
  • Demonstrated experience extending rich text editors like Lexical to build powerful UX flows
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.
