The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • Make an enterprise design system agent-ready so AI tools generate faithful,: on-system code: fix tokens, naming, and guidelines, wire up Code Connect, and run evals.

  • Get Make Local, Code Layers, and our newest products working in a customer’s: real environment, writing code, config, agent skills, and guideline files against their systems and ours.

  • Run technical discovery: understand a customer's dev environment, toolchain, and constraints, then scope the fastest credible path to value, in addition to setting the customer up for long term success.

  • Debug hard, unfamiliar integration problems (git workflows, CI, dev-environment setup, non-standard stacks).

  • Build LLM-powered workflows: MCP setup, agent skills, and prompt engineering tuned to each customer’s context.

  • Turn one-off solutions into reusable playbooks and product feedback, so: patterns you solve once become self-serve or shipped product.

What they're looking for

  • Bring learnings on friction back to Figma's Product and Engineering teams,: influence what gets built next, and often build it.
  • + years shipping production software end-to-end, with meaningful time: embedded with customers or partner teams.
  • Excellent customer-facing communication and technical partnership skills,: with the ability to build trust with senior engineers and translate customer needs into actionable product and engineering solutions
  • Strong engineering fundamentals and adaptability, with the ability to quickly: navigate unfamiliar codebases, languages, and technical environments to deliver production-ready solutions.
