The Application Platform team is responsible for Figma’s core backend platform. This team develops the application primitives used by backend engineers across the company, including our data access frameworks, asynchronous jobs platform, developer tools, and more.

Ideal candidates will have experience working in large-scale, shared backend codebases and implementing scalable patterns. They’ve implemented and maintained robust & reliable distributed systems that form the backbone of core product functionality. Most importantly, they love building for builders.
