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!

As a strategic partner with an eye for identifying the gaps, you will drive processes, rhythms, and operate as a trusted partner across various stakeholders to drive outcomes. Our Engineering team is growing quickly, which provides an opportunity to have a tremendous impact on the success of our product and Figma as a whole.
This is a full time role that will be held from our SF Hub.

Experience supporting orgs of 150+ people
An affinity for AI and a track record of using creative workflows to improve operational efficiency
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with frequent context shifts and last-minute changes
