San Francisco CA, United States Figma Full time

Livegraph is a core Figma technology driving our realtime web and mobile experiences. Similar to GraphQL, it sends data from relational databases and federated backends to clients around the globe. But innovating on GraphQL, it updates the user experiences it powers automatically – making every Figma experience feel alive and multi-player.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to shape and build the next generation of Livegraph services, supporting the substantial growth of Figma’s world-class design and collaboration products. A successful EM will be thoughtful and strategic about Livegraph’s opportunities and future challenges, while driving execution on our scale, reliability, developer experience, and feature set projects.

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

What you’ll do at Figma:
  • Manage, support and grow a diverse team of engineers who design and build scalable services to power Figma’s infrastructure.
  • Build and execute on a long-term roadmap to evolve and scale Livegraph
  • Partner with engineering leadership to set strategy, priorities, and mission for teams and projects.
  • Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization.
  • Grow your career in an engaged and creative engineering community
  • Give back technical innovation into the software engineering community, through talks at conferences, open source contributions, blog posts, and external evangelism

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

  • 2+ years of experience managing and leading a high output engineering team
  • 5+ years experience building and scaling distributed systems as a leader and/or individual contributor
  • Experience safely evolving infrastructure that actively serves production traffic to heterogeneous clients
  • Experience running an online service hosting at least 100,000 concurrent users
  • Demonstrated leadership skills in building a high-performing and highly engaged engineering team. Proven track record of motivating, mentoring, and guiding senior engineers
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
  • A history of solving difficult engineering problems with novel, custom solutions
  • Hands-on experience building developer-facing query systems, implementing technologies such as GraphQL
  • Experience evangelizing innovative, internal infrastructure and developer tools
  • Experience and lessons learned from transforming a company’s distributed systems from monolithic software development to a federated approach
  • A love for new programming languages and syntaxes

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.
