Role Mission & Impact
We’re looking for technically-minded product designers who are excited to shape how teams build together. At Figma, design isn’t just how something looks—it’s how it works, how it feels, and how it scales. Our designers are systems thinkers, prototypers, storytellers, and craftspeople who care deeply about quality and collaboration. In this role, you’ll turn ambiguity into clarity, push the product forward with engineers, PMs, and researchers, and help us invent new ways for people to design and build products together.
With an eye for simplicity and craft, curiosity for complex systems, and an appetite for technical challenges, you can help define the future of how software is made.
Key Responsibilities & Day-to-Day Scope
- ✓ Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
- ✓ Help deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities
- ✓ Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, design, and research peers
- ✓ Create and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals, as well as provide thoughtful feedback for others doing the same so you can all do your best work
- ✓ Design and ship high-quality features and product improvements in Figma’s core product surfaces
- ✓ Contribute to our design org’s culture by participating in design critiques, mentoring peers, and sharing best practices across teams
- ✓ 3+ years of experience designing UX and UI for a software product of similar scale and complexity
- ✓ Great attention to detail and a strong eye for visual craft, such as composition, typography, and layout
- ✓ Fluency in interaction design and prototyping, to express and refine nuanced design decisions
Official Qualifications & Technical Requirements
- • A track record of independently driving design processes from discovery through launch—balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals
- • 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
- • Familiarity with web technologies like HTML/CSS, prototyping tools such as Origami, or advanced Figma features like Auto Layout, Variables, and Components
- • A design/development hybrid background, or experience building websites or apps
- • A history of working on canvas-based interfaces or tools that support creative workflows
- • Prior work involving design systems, like creating, maintaining, or contributing to a design system
Preferred Skills & Technology Stack
- + Experience working with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Amazon Redshift).
- + Familiarity with Git version control and collaborative code review workflows.
- + Demonstrated portfolio or capstone projects exhibiting practical end-to-end analytics problem solving.
