Software Engineer - Graphics & Media

Figma is growing our team of passionate 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. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

Within Creation Engine's Rendering & Animation org, the Pixel Engine team focuses on platform level work for a mix of rendering and media support at Figma. Pixel Engine works on the rendering engine, and builds new primitives and features to support new company efforts.

Our team is focused on a breadth of platform work, ranging from supporting new animation primitives, shader-based effects, and video and image import/export support. This specific role focuses on the Media components of Pixel Engine. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
