Server Platform is at the core of Figma’s infrastructure foundation! This area owns the foundational layer of infrastructure that underpins all other infrastructure and application services at Figma. The Foundation team under Server Platform is Infrastructure's infrastructure. This team enables the efficient operation and rapid development of reliable infrastructure at Figma through opinionated platforms.

- Help design and deploy an internal service mesh network which can support Figma’s growing portfolio of services and features

We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Have 4+ years of experience building infrastructure components / services at scale in a cloud setting
- Experience with programming languages like TypeScript or Go
- Experience building and scaling distributed and traffic systems as an individual contributor and/or Team Lead
- Proven track record of building, scaling, and shipping high-quality products in high growth environments
- Experience communicating and working across functions to drive solutions
- Prior experience working on a team dealing with Network and Traffic related systems handling requests from millions of customers
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Deep knowledge of DDoS attack mechanisms and mitigation solutions on AWS or Cloud environments
- Significant background securing network infrastructure
- Traffic analytics using VPC Flow Logs, Lambda, and other data sources
- Experience with TCP, HTTP, DNS, and SSL protocols
