Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI.

• Foster meaningful relationships within the Figma community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven initiatives
• Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and community events, sharing practical insights from real-world design work
• Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends, advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements

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

• Bring deep, hands-on expertise in Figma, modern product and visual design workflows, and design systems, with a strong understanding of how design translates into development
• Have experience working within cross-functional product teams, collaborating closely with engineers and other partners to bring ideas from exploration through to polished outcomes
• Are comfortable navigating evolving workflows and technologies, including design systems, tokens, AI-assisted design, and prototyping
• Are passionate about the design community and are a clear, compelling communicator who can explain complex concepts and confidently engage audiences through public speaking
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset, thrive in dynamic environments, and are comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with our community in person
