About Figma:
Figma was founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, a computer science duo who met while attending Brown University. They realized that the growing tech industry needed well-designed software more than ever, but tools to create those interfaces were stuck in the print era. Field and Wallace decided to build a new breed of application, making Figma the first interface design tool based in the browser. Thanks to technologies like WebGL, browsers could finally support such powerful creative software.
These days, Figma is leading the collaboration trend in the design community by helping UX/UI designers work easily with developers, marketers and product managers. Top Silicon Valley investors saw the potential in the company, with Index Ventures, Greylock Partners and LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner investing $18 million. With that backing, Figma is pursuing its purpose to help teams around the world design great software.
Our staff is a diverse group who bring an eclectic set of experiences from Atlassian, Dropbox, Facebook, Flipboard, Macromedia/Adobe and Medium. We enjoy sitting together at lunch every day in our airy SOMA office, learning more about each other at our Show and Tells, and hosting our design friends during #Shindigma events. We focus on building our software with care and craftsmanship -- our engineering blog post gives you a taste of that -- and we welcome talented people from all backgrounds. Many of us have special spaces in our lives -- whether it be family, social organizations, schools, or former companies -- and we're doing all we can to make Figma another one.
At Figma we celebrate and support our differences. We know employing a team rich in diverse thoughts, experiences, and opinions allows our employees, our product and our community to flourish. Figma is an equal opportunity workplace. We are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national orientation, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
