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
Lead the design of core editor experiences, including foundational concepts: like Auto Layout, Text, and canvas interactions, from identifying opportunities through prototyping, shipping, and iteration
Help us define and champion a clear vision for how the editor should evolve,: translating that vision into concrete proposals, design principles, and priorities with product and engineering partners
Explore how direct manipulation, AI, and code can work together, prototyping: ways for people to move between generating, editing, and refining their work while retaining creative control
Ground decisions in user research, product data, and close observation of how: people create, using that evidence to test assumptions and refine your point of view
Contribute to our design org’s culture by participating in design critiques,: mentoring peers, and sharing best practices across teams
+ years of experience in product design, including leading complex software: projects from early exploration through launch and iteration
What they're looking for
- A portfolio of shipped work demonstrating interaction design and visual: craft, including examples of making sophisticated workflows easier to understand and use
- The ability to guide decision-making with structured thinking, clearly: articulated rationale, and user-centered research
- A knack for figuring out ambiguous problems in complex systems, and shaping: them into simple solutions with clear goals
- Experience researching, prototyping, or building products with AI and other: emerging tools to uncover new patterns for creativity and collaboration
