## Description

Figma is growing its team of creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. 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.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll embed directly with strategic customers, working across their codebases, design systems, developer environments, and workflows to make Figma's products successful within their unique technical constraints. You'll tackle the hardest adoption challenges hands-on, from complex frontend stacks and legacy systems to security and access requirements, while building trusted partnerships with customers' senior engineering teams.

This is a senior/staff-level engineering role within Product and Engineering, not a sales or services function. You'll write Figma product code and turn insights from the field into scalable improvements that make the path easier for every customer that follows. Working closely with Figma's Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Experience teams, you'll help shape both the product and the playbook for a brand-new function.

- Run technical discovery to understand a customer's dev environment, toolchain, and constraints

- Debug hard, unfamiliar integration problems

- Build LLM-powered workflows

- Turn one-off solutions into reusable playbooks and product feedback

Requirements:

- 5+ years of experience shipping production software end-to-end

- Strong engineering fundamentals and adaptability

- Experience with design systems and design-to-code workflows

- Excellent customer-facing communication and technical partnership skills

- Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript or Python

Preferred Skills:

- Comfort operating in ambiguous, evolving problem spaces

- Strong product mindset

- Background in forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, professional services, or a similar customer-facing technical role

- Familiarity with developer tools, design-to-code workflows, or AI/LLM products

Benefits:

- Competitive package of additional benefits, including health, dental, and vision coverage

- Retirement benefits with company contributions

- Parental leave and reproductive or family planning support

- Mental health and wellness benefits
