Forward Deployed Engineer

Figma is building a founding Forward Deployed Engineering team to help large enterprise customers successfully adopt Figma's products within their own technical environments. The role involves embedding with strategic customers' engineering teams, working hands-on in their codebases and toolchains to solve integration, design-system, and AI-tooling challenges, and then turning those solutions into reusable patterns for future customers. It sits within Product and Engineering rather than sales, and includes periodic travel to customer sites.

• 5+ years of end-to-end production software experience with significant time embedded alongside customers or partner teams; strong engineering fundamentals and ability to quickly navigate unfamiliar codebases; hands-on experience with design systems and design-to-code workflows (component libraries, tokens, documentation); proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript or Python with experience in agentic coding tools (MCP, agent orchestration); experience integrating APIs/SDKs and handling enterprise requirements like SSO, security reviews, and compliance; strong customer-facing communication skills.
