> Product Designer on Figma's CMS team responsible for designing end-to-end experiences for content organization, management, and delivery. Requires exceptional craft, systems thinking, prototyping (including code), and close collaboration with engineering, PMs, and researchers to simplify complex technical systems.

## Job Description

## What you’ll do at Figma

- Design and ship end-to-end experiences that help organize, manage, and deliver content across Figma's products, as part of the Content Management Systems team
- Partner closely with engineering to shape platform capabilities and technical infrastructure that support CMS and open-source initiatives
- Translate technically complex systems into intuitive, elegant user experiences
- Prototype early and often to explore ideas, validate concepts, and communicate nuanced interaction and technical decisions
- Contribute to product strategy and long-term vision by bringing together customer insights, product thinking, and technical understanding
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and designers throughout the product development process
- Help raise the quality bar across the organization through thoughtful feedback, design critiques, and mentorship

## Requirements

- Exceptional product design craft with strong visual and interaction skills, especially in complex software where systems thinking matters as much as any individual screen — with a proven ability to simplify technically complex systems into intuitive, thoughtful user experiences
- Code is part of your design process, not something you wait to hand off. You build working prototypes to explore interaction ideas, understand technical possibilities, and communicate a direction
- Demonstrated ability to move fast, forming a point of view, testing it, and adjusting course without waiting for complete information
- Ability to define a clear product and design vision in ambiguous spaces, using customer insights, qualitative research, and product data to guide decisions
- Track record of independently driving design from discovery through launch, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals
- Naturally curious about how software is built, with strong cross-functional partnerships across design, engineering, product management, and research — raising the quality of work through thoughtful collaboration, feedback, and a deep care for the workflows of designers, developers, and other creative makers

## Nice-to-haves

- Experience building and shipping software through coding, AI-assisted development, or other technical approaches
- Background designing content management systems, asset management platforms, or foundational platform products
- Familiarity designing developer tools, APIs, SDKs, or other highly technical product experiences
- Contributions to or designing for open-source software
