Figma
Director, Product - Developer Tools (London, United Kingdom)
Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!
How products are being designed and built is changing, and we’re looking for an experienced product director that will ensure Figma remains at the forefront of that evolution. The successful leader here will continue to drive forward Figma’s DevMode product, and beyond that, will innovate and define Figma’s next investments in the Developer Tools space - making the path from design to production even more seamless. Our goal is to enable frontend engineers to move (much) faster, spending less time on mundane tasks, and most importantly enable them to deliver the highest quality products to their end users.
This is a full time role that can be held from our London hub, remotely in London, or in the US Eastern Timezone.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to set strategy, priorities and define a long term vision for the Developer tools team.
- Work closely with, and support the growth of a diverse team of engineers and designers who are passionate about building tools that make developers feel at home in Figma.
- Partner with product & engineering teams across Figma to define strategic bets across the entire product surface with a focus on developer efficiency and code generation.
- Grow your career in an engaged, creative, and thoughtful community.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Shipped a number of successful, high-impact consumer facing products
- Experience working on highly technical products, or products catering towards technical audiences - specifically building for the developer persona.
- Experience directly managing and growing PMs
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- A development background, or if you have worked on developer tooling in the past
- An eye for the detail, both in terms of user experience and the technical nuances
- Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
- Ability to communicate clearly at different altitudes, including driving alignment with senior stakeholders
