Company mission
Figma's mission is to help teams create, share, test, and ship better designs from start to finish.
Role
Who you are
- Shipped a number of successful, high-impact consumer facing products
- Experience working on highly technical products, or products catering towards technical audiences - specifically building for the developer persona
- Experience directly managing and growing PMs
Desirable
- A development background, or if you have worked on developer tooling in the past
- An eye for the detail, both in terms of user experience and the technical nuances
- Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
- Ability to communicate clearly at different altitudes, including driving alignment with senior stakeholders
What the job involves
- How products are being designed and built is changing, and we’re looking for an experienced product director that will ensure Figma remains at the forefront of that evolution
- The successful leader here will continue to drive forward Figma’s DevMode product, and beyond that, will innovate and define Figma’s next investments in the Developer Tools space - making the path from design to production even more seamless
- Our goal is to enable frontend engineers to move (much) faster, spending less time on mundane tasks, and most importantly enable them to deliver the highest quality products to their end users
- Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to set strategy, priorities and define a long term vision for the Developer tools team
- Work closely with, and support the growth of a diverse team of engineers and designers who are passionate about building tools that make developers feel at home in Figma
- Partner with product & engineering teams across Figma to define strategic bets across the entire product surface with a focus on developer efficiency and code generation
- Grow your career in an engaged, creative, and thoughtful community
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Figma is a web-based design platform that helps cross-functional teams of designers, project managers, and developers easily collaborate on product design projects. Its standout feature, Multiplayer mode, is like Google Docs for design, letting team members collaborate in real-time on project files that are hosted in the cloud.
Founded in 2012, Figma quickly established itself among its competitors in the sector and, in 2024, achieved a valuation of $12.5 billion after a large funding round backed by the likes of General Catalyst and Andreessen Horowitz. However, its recent focus on AI tools has had mixed results; Figma's Make Design tool, which generates apps using AI, was taken off the market soon after launch.
Nevertheless, thousands of industry-leading companies such as Airbnb, Dropbox, GitHub and Microsoft use Figma to scale their design efforts easily across distributed teams. A 2025 IPO is on the cards too, and Figma has the customer base and market trust to pull it off.
