Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI.

• Design and develop technical solutions to secure AI models, tooling, debugging workflows, and data pipelines.
• Advocate for secure practices across Figma’s AI infrastructure, platforms, and data systems.

• Design and build technical systems to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
• Partner closely with product teams to identify and address potential abuse vectors.
• Develop new signals and improve the use of existing signals to detect abusive behavior.
• Help respond to spam, fraud, and abuse incidents.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 5+ years of proven engineering experience working in either a Security Engineering or a Software Engineering role. In the case of the latter, some security experience is preferred.
• Strong security judgment in threat modeling and risk prioritization and/or strong technical judgment in designing and building maintainable, scalable systems.
• Proficiency in at least one general-purpose coding language.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated experience collaborating across functions.

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Subject matter expertise in Application Security, Cloud Security, Corporate Security, Data Access Governance, and/or IAM (Identity and Access Management).
