Livegraph is a core Figma technology driving our realtime web and mobile experiences. Similar to GraphQL, it sends data from relational databases and federated backends to clients around the globe. But innovating on GraphQL, it updates the user experiences it powers automatically – making every Figma experience feel alive and multi-player.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to shape and build the next generation of Livegraph services, supporting the substantial growth of Figma’s world-class design and collaboration products. A successful EM will be thoughtful and strategic about Livegraph’s opportunities and future challenges, while driving execution on our scale, reliability, developer experience, and feature set projects.

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:

• Manage, support and grow a diverse team of engineers who design and build scalable services to power Figma’s infrastructure.
• Build and execute on a long-term roadmap to evolve and scale Livegraph
• Partner with engineering leadership to set strategy, priorities, and mission for teams and projects.
• Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization.
• Grow your career in an engaged and creative engineering community
• Give back technical innovation into the software engineering community, through talks at conferences, open source contributions, blog posts, and external evangelism
