The mission of the Figma Security team is to help Figmates ship the most secure product to our users. We are looking for security generalists with a strong grasp of Computer Science and security fundamentals.

  • Proficient in at least one general purpose coding language
  • Demonstrated experience engineering security-based tooling and/or software
