San Francisco, California, United States Figma Full time

Figma, a leading design and collaboration platform, is growing its team of passionate engineers dedicated to making design accessible to all.

Company Overview:

Born on the web, Figma empowers entire product teams to brainstorm, design, and build better products - from start to finish. Our innovative platform streamlines workflows, facilitates collaboration across teams and time zones, and fosters an inclusive culture that promotes equity and belonging.

We're seeking a skilled Visionary Graphics Engineer to join our Rendering & Animation team, which focuses on the lowest level of the stack, where we convert the SceneGraph into primitive rendering operations executed on the GPU using WebGL.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies like WebGPU, develop and implement new algorithmic techniques for high-performance antialiasing, and drive innovation in 2D vector graphics rendering.

Job Description:

You will collaborate closely with teammates and partners in Engineering, Product, Design, Marketing, User Research, and Data Science to build new features and achieve roadmap goals. Your responsibilities may include:

  • Creating and optimizing shaders to render blurs of primitive shapes in a single pass.
  • Improving how we order and batch draws to reduce draw calls and render target switches.
  • Developing and implementing faster approaches to anti-aliasing.
  • Implementing performant animations using multiple layer caches for fast compositing.
Requirements:

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

  • 8+ years of professional experience shipping software with a specialization on Rendering and Graphics (2D or 3D).
  • Experience working on game engines, client-side technologies and platforms, and rendering APIs like OpenGL, WebGL, WebGPU, Vulkan, Metal, or DirectX.
  • Demonstrated fluency with one or more low-level programming languages, including C++, C, Objective-C, Go, or Rust.
  • Deep familiarity with the rendering pipeline and rendering concepts.
  • Proactive communication skills and a desire to work in a collaborative environment.
Salary Range:

The estimated annual base salary range for this role is $149,000-$350,000 USD, depending on factors such as individual qualifications, prior relevant experience, potential impact, scope of role, market demands, and specific work location.

Benefits:

Figma offers a competitive package of additional benefits, including health, dental & vision, retirement with company contribution, parental leave & reproductive or family planning support, mental health & wellness benefits, generous PTO, company recharge days, a learning & development stipend, a work from home stipend, and cell phone reimbursement.

Join the Figma Team:

We celebrate and support our differences, knowing that employing a team rich in diverse thoughts, experiences, and opinions allows our employees, our product, and our community to flourish. Figma is an equal opportunity workplace - we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity/expression, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
