Figma is growing our 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. Figma Make enables teams to go from prompt to production code, and the Figma agent is a purpose-built design agent that edits files directly on the Figma canvas.

We're looking for deeply technical Product Managers to own the developer platform: Figma’s MCP Server, REST API, and key first-party integrations like Figma for Slack and Figma for ChatGPT/for Claude.  These roles sit at the intersection of product and infrastructure. If you're excited about developer tooling, systems thinking, and building the foundations that other product teams ship on top of, 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:

You’ll define and drive the strategy for one or more parts of our developer platform: the big bets, build-vs-buy calls, and how to sequence it all. Those areas:

  • Design↔code platform: how we translate between designs in Figma’s SceneGraph to code in customers’ Makes and production codebases
  • External platform: how external AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) access Figma context using our MCP Server & REST APIs, how and when Figma’s AI products appear in other surfaces (Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.)

As you drive platform strategy, you’ll:

  • Influence product roadmaps where platform capabilities create new product opportunities.
  • Partner with EM and tech leads to make key architecture and UX decisions.
  • Talk frequently with product teams, customers, and our partners & vendors, and distill learnings from those conversations into platform commitments.
  • Raise the bar for technical PMs at Figma: pattern-match across the four areas, surface cross-cutting problems, and pull peers and EMs into the calls that need them.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 6+ years of product management experience working on highly technical products
  • Proven experience shipping developer tools, infrastructure products, or AI-powered technical systems
  • Shipped measurable quality improvements to a product: you can point to the metrics that moved and how you moved them
  • Hands-on technical fluency: you've built and shipped things yourself — at work, in side projects, or in open source — and you can read a PR, you can participate actively in architecture conversations
  • Strong systems thinking: you understand how complex components interact and can improve the whole, not just the parts
  • Technical communication: You distill highly technical concepts into clear decisions and direction
  • A track record of driving strategy and execution across ambiguous, fast-moving product areas
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.
