Why it's interesting

Figma is standing up an FDE motion around Make Local, its new design-to-code developer workflow — embedding engineers with strategic customers to unblock adoption and feed the product. When a design giant with millions of users spins up forward-deployed engineering, the title has fully crossed into mainstream software. $152.8K–$296K is a wide leveling band for a function it's building from scratch.

The role

Forward Deployed Engineer at Figma, working hands-on with strategic customers adopting emerging developer workflows (starting with Make Local) — leading technical discovery, unblocking implementation, and translating deployment patterns into product/engineering insight while helping define and scale Figma's new FDE function. SF/NY hubs or remote US. $152.8K–$296K + equity. Verified on Figma's Greenhouse board.
