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!

Figma Product Managers are highly collaborative self-starters who push their teams to build amazing experiences for all our users. We have a diverse range of experiences and expertise and love learning from each other. Across all product areas, successful Figma PMs thrive on solving hard problems, considering every detail, and achieving ambitious goals. If this sounds like you, come join us!

We are looking for a Product Manager to join our Creation Engine pillar, the foundational teams that power Figma's canvas, rendering, performance, and extensions across all products. This role sits at the intersection of cutting-edge web technology, creative tools, and AI innovation, building the systems that make Figma feel magical while handling immense technical complexity behind the scenes.

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 product vision, strategy, and roadmap for foundational rendering, animation, and developer experience systems in alignment with company goals and user needs
• Lead the development of advanced interactive capabilities within Figma's design ecosystem, ensuring compatibility across various environments
• Drive initiatives to evaluate and integrate LLMs, focusing on establishing effective communication systems and performance measurement frameworks for AI-powered design tools
• Oversee version control systems, tracking how user changes are stored, restored, reviewed, and compared over time
• Optimize core performance of Figma in browser and desktop environments, addressing load times, memory consumption, and offline capabilities
• Collaborate deeply with Design, Engineering, and Product Leadership on both strategy and execution of foundational systems
• Develop internal developer experiences and abstractions that enable product teams to build quickly without navigating complex foundational code
• Prioritize technical investments based on user impact, business objectives, and engineering constraints

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

• 6+ years of experience as a full-time Product Manager
• Experience working with core platform teams, particularly in developer experience and/or media/graphics domains
• Understanding of game engine concepts, rendering systems, or animation frameworks
• Experience enabling non-technical teams on technical priorities
• Strong stakeholder alignment skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
• Experience shipping high-quality software that drove efficiency for users and business results for your company
• Demonstrated grit and persistence in solving complex technical challenges

While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:

• Experience with graphics programming, WebGL, or browser rendering technologies
• Background in building developer platforms or APIs
• Experience with version control systems or supporting offline use cases
• Knowledge of LLM integration with visual design tools
• Experience at companies with similar technical challenges 
• Experience building in multi-product environments
