Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
We’re looking for software engineering interns who are excited to make an impact across different layers of our product and infrastructure. At Figma, we pair interns with teams that align with their skills and interests. This year, we’re inviting you to share your interests from the start, so we can create the strongest possible match
Our interns are embedded into small, collaborative engineering teams across the company. You’ll work closely with your mentor and teammates to ship meaningful features, tools, or systems. Whether you're working on internal infrastructure or user-facing features, you’ll get to learn, contribute, and grow in a supportive environment.
This internship will be based out of our San Francisco or New York hub.
