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.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">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.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">This is a unique opportunity for a designer who loves both craft and technical depth. You'll prototype, build, and ship alongside engineers while helping define foundational experiences that support millions of creators across Figma.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.</p> <h4>What you’ll do at Figma:</h4> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Design and ship end-to-end experiences that help organize, manage, and deliver content across Figma's products, as part of the Content Management Systems team</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner closely with engineering to shape platform capabilities and technical infrastructure that support CMS and open-source initiatives</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Translate technically complex systems into intuitive, elegant user experiences</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Prototype early and often to explore ideas, validate concepts, and communicate nuanced interaction and technical decisions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Contribute to product strategy and long-term vision by bringing together customer insights, product thinking, and technical understanding</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and designers throughout the product development process</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Help raise the quality bar across the organization through thoughtful feedback, design critiques, and mentorship</li> </ul> <div class="section page-centered"> <h4>We'd love to hear from you if you have:</h4> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Exceptional product design craft with strong visual and interaction skills, especially in complex software where systems thinking matters as much as any individual screen — with a proven ability to simplify technically complex systems into intuitive, thoughtful user experiences</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Code is part of your design process, not something you wait to hand off.
