Overview
Figma’s Summer 2027 SWE internship embeds you on a small engineering team shipping product or platform work that real designers and builders use. You share Product, Backend/Infrastructure, Security, or Open interests up front so recruiting can match you to a strong fit.
Past intern projects have landed in FigJam diagramming, smart selection, shared fonts, and similar customer-facing improvements. Expect mentor pairing, cross-functional collaboration with PMs and designers, code review, and a goal to ship by the end of the internship.
