Job Description
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! Figma's Databases team owns the foundational data layer that powers every Figma file, component, comment, and collaboration session. We operate sharded Postgres clusters at scale, build the tooling that keeps database operations safe and fast (schema migrations, provisioning, operational guardrails), and develop higher-level data products like distributed caching and streaming infrastructure. As the Engineering Manager of this team, you'll lead engineers who are the last line of defense for Figma's most critical stateful systems — and the first to build the next generation of database infrastructure as Figma scales. You'll partner closely with product engineering teams across the company, own reliability and performance for our data tier, and shape how we integrate AI into database operations. This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States. What you’ll do at Figma: Lead and develop engineers responsible for Figma's core database infrastructure, including sharded Postgres clusters, schema management, migrations tooling, and database provisioning <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal br
