The TPM provides oversight of the most important efforts that require coordinated technical execution across the Org to succeed. This is a role focused on enabling Figma's infrastructure teams to scale, improve performance, and deliver on critical projects. These large-scale efforts will involve collaboration across numerous backend, infrastructure, and security teams and cross-functional stakeholders, prioritization, decision-making, tracking execution, and driving operational excellence. We're looking for someone that can work in a TPM greenspace environment and is passionate about people, technology, and program management. Progress over process is our mantra. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States. What you'll do at Figma: • Lead the execution, coordination, and risk management of Figma's infrastructure projects, ensuring seamless integration with minimal performance impact • Drive key infrastructure initiatives, including reliability, storage, distributed systems, cloud-native performance improvements, and compliance programs (e.g., encryption key management, FedRAMP, SOC 2) • Partner closely with engineering, security, compliance, and legal teams to ensure alignment and on-time delivery • Track program milestones and ensure seamless delivery across multiple infrastructure teams, including data, caching, observability, and security engineering • Provide regular updates to executive leadership, external partners, and internal teams on the status of infrastructure programs, including risks, blockers, and dependencies • Develop and drive best practices in infrastructure program management, improving visibility into progress, risks, and technical dependencies • Facilitate large-scale testing and rollout strategies for critical infrastructure changes to minimize downtime and ensure high system reliability • Translate technical constraints and risks into executive-level communications for senior leadership and external stakeholders We’d love to hear from you if you have: • 8+ years in Infrastructure TPM or related roles (cloud engineering, SRE, or infra-focused software engineering), with hands-on experience in cloud-native architectures and distributed systems (AWS, GCP, or similar) • Deep technical expertise across infrastructure components - storage (S3, RDS, DynamoDB), caching (Redis), search (OpenSearch), and event-driven systems (Kafka) - with the ability to reason across org-level goals, architectural trade-offs, and component-level details • Track record driving large-scale infrastructure programs such as migrations, cost optimization, encryption/key management, and reliability initiatives for high-availability, business-critical services • Strong cross-functional program management skills, including coordinating multi-team engineering orgs, tracking performance bottlenecks, optimizing infrastructure SLAs, and establishing PM best practices in ambiguous environments • Proven stakeholder management, with experience engaging external partners (cloud providers, enterprise customers) and translating complex technical challenges into clear executive-level communications While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have: • A track record of setting up and scaling TPM functions or program management practices within an engineering organization • Experience working on high-visibility enterprise security and compliance programs (SOC 2, FedRAMP, encryption key management) • Infrastructure incident management and analysis experience • Experience working with external enterprise partners on technical programs (e.g., Apple, AWS, Google) • Background in software engineering or site reliability engineering (SWE/SRE-to-TPM career path) At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go.
