Job Description

We prefer to receive applications on RippleMatch. You'll be able to see all of our Early Career roles and apply to any of them from there!

More than anything, we seek engineers with strong coding fundamentals and a track record of high quality engineering. We work in a highly collaborative environment, where most projects are owned by small groups of 2-3 people. We strive to foster a positive, inclusive culture - you can read more about our engineering values on our blog. If you’d like to join us on our mission to make design accessible to all, let’s talk!

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Be fully embedded onto an engineering team and assigned technical projects that directly relate to your team and team goals
• Work closely with your mentor and team as well as collaborate with other engineers, product managers, designers, and QA to design features and break down high-level goals into tasks and timelines
• Build, document and maintain tests, features and infrastructure
• Provide thoughtful feedback to others on the team
• Ship your project/s by the end of your internship!

Past intern projects:

• Diagramming Improvements in FigJam
• Smart selection
• Shared fonts

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

• Solid technical knowledge including CS fundamentals and data structures
• Experience with one or more general purpose programming languages, including but not limited to: Javascript, Ruby, Python, C++, Objective-C, or Java
• Ability to communicate technical problems and solutions
• Enjoy learning from others and digging into new challenges.
• An inclusive and collaborative attitude towards building features and solving problems

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.
