Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world’s leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we’re building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft — a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it. We’re looking for an experienced and accomplished engineering leader to join us in our mission to scale Figma Weave while upholding the quality and craft our users love. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, Marketing, and GTM to chart the course for these features and leverage them to help Figma further deepen its engagement with designers.
