Collaborative Design Platform — Making Design Accessible to All
The consensus on Figma: Choose Figma if you want WebAssembly-level challenges on a product people love — but expect 60+ hour weeks during crunch.
Founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, Figma is the collaborative design platform that redefined how teams create together. The culture is deeply product-obsessed, with a strong emphasis on craft, community, and play. Engineers work on technically ambitious problems — real-time multiplayer collaboration, WebAssembly rendering, and scaling infrastructure for millions of users. Expect smart, passionate coworkers who care deeply about the tools they build.
Built a custom real-time multiplayer engine inspired by CRDTs with last-writer-wins conflict resolution. The rendering engine compiles C++ to WebAssembly for near-native canvas performance in the browser.
