Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figmaโs platform helps teams bring ideas to lifeโwhether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI.

If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
Weโre seeking a dynamic manager to lead a team on our earlyโstage journey of providing Figmaโs users with personalized, streamlined and intuitive solutions. As Figmaโs customer base continues to expand and diversify, and new technological advancements in AI and generative design emerge, the opportunity for AI experience engineering is greater than ever.

We are seeking an accomplished and experienced leader who has built scrappy fastโpaced teams, ideally working on generative AI products, to join our team and lead our AI efforts from inception to implementation. Join us in molding the future of AI at Figma! This is a fullโtime role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

- Lead and grow a diverse team of engineers building and advancing Figmaโs AI capabilities across core products
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, AI Research, and Data Science to define strategy and drive a clear roadmap for AIโpowered experiences
- Hire, mentor, and retain exceptional engineering talent, fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and thoughtful riskโtaking
- Drive 0โ1 innovation by identifying opportunities and applying emerging AI technologies to meaningfully improve the user experience
- Champion Figmaโs commitment to diversity and inclusion by actively contributing to equitable hiring practices, team development, and crossโcompany initiatives
Weโd love to hear from you if you have:
- 3+ years of experience hiring, leading, and developing highโperforming engineering teams
- Proven experience building and scaling AIโpowered product capabilities, ideally in fastโpaced, highโgrowth environments
- Demonstrated track record of driving 0โ1 product development, with the ability to translate ambiguous ideas into impactful, productionโready features
- Strong ability to build and operate fastโmoving teams that balance innovation with execution
- Genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging AI technologies and their application to userโfacing products
While not required, itโs an added plus if you also have:

- Experience digging into product analytics and data yourself to help create new opportunities or investment areas for your team
