About the role

Original posting from Figma via Greenhouse

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 a deeply technical product leader to lead the four teams responsible for Figma's Code area: Code Context, Design to Code, Code to Design, and Code Platform. You'll manage and grow a team of Product Managers while partnering closely with engineering, design, data, and research leaders.

This team builds the products and platform capabilities that help design and code move fluently together. You'll set the strategy for improving connecting customer codebases to Figma.

This is a full-time role that can be held from our New York hub or remotely within the Eastern US time zone.

What you'll do at Figma:

Lead the product aspects of the four teams driving Figma's Code area - Code Context, Design to Code and Code to Design, and Code Platform

Set vision, strategy, and goals for how design and code stay in sync at Figma

Own Design to Code and Code to Design workflows end to end, including quality measurement, improvement, and discoverability

Guide the development of the code-context systems and translation primitives that power agentic workflows and round-tripping between design and code

Manage and develop three Product Managers, hire the team's open Product Manager role, and establish a high bar for product management craft

Partner with leaders across engineering, design, data, and research to make technical product decisions and serve needs across Figma's product suite

Establish a strong operating cadence across the area and own adoption goals for MCP and Design to Code/Code to Design workflows

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

3+ years of experience managing Product Managers, with a proven track record of hiring, calibrating, and developing talent

Deep experience shipping developer tools and AI products - has run evals, owned annotation pipelines, and made real ship/no-ship calls on model behavior

A track record of setting strategy and executing on major initiatives in environments with deep technical and product ambiguity - and rallying an org around a bold, unproven bet

Experience working with enterprise customers to understand their workflows and turn that into shipped product

Excellent cross-functional collaboration and written communication with technical depth; credible in engineering reviews and with senior stakeholders
