Company mission

Figma's mission is to help teams create, share, test, and ship better designs from start to finish.

Role

Who you are

  • We are looking for a designer with experience in multi-product environments who can work collaboratively across teams to develop, refine, and implement design systems that scale
  • 5+ years of experience designing UX and UI for software, with a focus on design systems
  • Experience working independently and collaboratively to explore design solutions from concept to implementation
  • Proven ability to create simple, scalable solutions for complex user experiences across multiple products
  • Experience managing complex projects that involve collaboration across different teams and organizational boundaries
  • Proficiency using prototyping or concepts to communicate design decisions effectively

Desirable

  • A deep understanding of how design systems operate within large, multi-product companies
  • A passion for creating inclusive, user-friendly designs that cater to a broad audience
  • Experience mentoring junior or early-career designers
  • A knack for identifying and solving ambiguous problems, shaping them into clear, actionable goals

What the job involves

  • We are seeking a Product Designer to join our Design Systems (Figma Pattern Library) team, dedicated to building and evolving shared patterns and components across Figma’s expanding suite of products
  • This role will focus on a consistent and approachable experience for Figma’s audience, regardless of the product they are using
  • As Figma continues to grow, a cohesive design system that spans multiple products is critical
  • Contribute to the overall strategy and decision-making regarding cross-product design systems
  • Define and communicate a clear vision for shared design patterns that can be utilized across various products
  • Collaborate with product management, engineering, and other design teams to ensure consistent implementation of design components
  • Create, iterate, and refine design system components, including flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals
  • Drive the adoption and continuous improvement of the design system across the organization

Our take

Figma is a web-based design platform that helps cross-functional teams of designers, project managers, and developers easily collaborate on product design projects. Its standout feature, Multiplayer mode, is like Google Docs for design, letting team members collaborate in real-time on project files that are hosted in the cloud.

Founded in 2012, Figma quickly established itself among its competitors in the sector and achieved a valuation exceeding $10 billion in 2021, boosted by a trend towards remote work. Its acquistion by Adobe for twice that amount just a year later raised eyebrows, but is a testament to the huge potential of this company and its product.

Thousands of industry-leading companies such as AirBnB, Dropbox, GitHub and Microsoft use Figma to scale their design efforts easily across distributed teams. Adobe has committed to leaving Figma autonomous going forward, and Figma will benefit from Adobe's digital imaging and AI tech in its product development.
