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!
As a Compliance Engineer at Figma, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and testing security controls across multiple compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST. You will collaborate closely with security, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to translate regulatory requirements into effective technical controls, evaluate control effectiveness, and identify opportunities to improve security and compliance processes. You will also help advance Figma’s compliance engineering capabilities by leveraging automation, machine-readable control definitions (JSON), APIs, and AI-assisted development tools to streamline control testing, evidence collection, and continuous monitoring. This role combines deep security compliance expertise with technical problem-solving to build scalable, repeatable, and effective compliance practices.
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:
• Develop and verify technical security controls that satisfy multiple compliance frameworks
• Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to translate compliance requirements into effective technical controls
• Design and execute control testing procedures to assess control performance, surface gaps, and verify that remediation is complete
• Establish repeatable control assessments and continuous monitoring processes to evaluate compliance effectiveness
• Translate security requirements into structured, machine-readable JSON definitions to support control management, testing, and automation
• Build and maintain API integrations and automated workflows to streamline evidence collection, control validation, and compliance processes
• Identify opportunities to improve control effectiveness, reduce manual effort, and scale compliance operations across multiple frameworks
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in security compliance, security assurance, IT audit, or compliance engineering
• Experience with security compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-53, designing, implementing, and testing technical security controls in SaaS or cloud environments
• Experience testing security controls for design and operating performance, including surfacing gaps and confirming fixes
• Understanding of cloud security concepts, including identity and access management, vulnerability man
