Director, Product - Developer Tools

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 New York hub or remotely in 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

• 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

At Figma one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
