Job Description

About Figma

Figma is growing its team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us! At Figma, we’re building tools that help teams design, build, and ship better products together. From Figma Design to FigJam and Figma Sites, our platform helps teams go from idea to product — fast. With Figma Make, we’re extending that vision even further: enabling teams to go from prompt to production-quality code in one seamless workflow.

About the Role

We’re looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to lead the Make Platform space — the systems that power how code is built, tested, previewed, and deployed in Figma Make. This role sits at the core of Make. When these systems work, Make feels magical. When they don’t, the product breaks. You’ll define the platform strategy that turns Make from a powerful prototype tool into a trusted foundation for building and shipping real products. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Design, and cross-functional teams to define the future of AI-first product development, and how developers, non-technical builders, and AI agents collaborate in one environment. If you’re excited about developer tooling, systems thinking, and building “invisible” infrastructure that enables beautiful, high-craft products, this role is for you. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma:

  • Define and drive the developer platform strategy for Figma Make: how code is generated, edited, previewed, and published, and how Make works with real, production-scale codebases (e.g. code execution/runtimes, preview environments, deployments, observability, and extensibility surfaces)
  • Ensure Figma Make stays at the forefront of AI innovation by creating and executing its agent infrastructure (e.g. Claude Code or Opencode or similar) and eval system strategies
  • Translate Figma’s AI agent roadmaps into clear platform requirements that enable scale, reliability, and extensibility
  • Lead complex technical decision-making across code generation, execution environments, agentic workflows, and deployment systems
  • Balance rapid feature velocity with long-term platform health, ensuring Make’s systems are performant, observable, and resilient
  • Engage directly with developers and technical customers and bring their requirements into the strategy
  • Ship zero-to-one platform capabilities that unlock new product surfaces and enable GA milestones

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • 7+ years of product management experience working on highly technical products
  • Proven experience shipping developer tools, infrastructure products, or AI-powered technical systems
  • Strong technical depth: you can go toe-to-toe with engineers on architecture tradeoffs and system design
  • Clear systems thinking: you understand how complex components interact and can improve the whole, not just the parts
  • A track record of driving strategy and execution across ambiguous, fast-moving product areas

Bonus Points:

  • Experience building or designing web-based applications or developer-facing platforms
  • Experience working on AI agent systems, code generation tools, or programmable interfaces
  • Personal experience building and deploying web products (side projects, startups, or open-source work)
  • Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks, deployment pipelines, or cloud infrastructure
  • Experience scaling platform capabilities across multiple product teams

Grow as you go

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
