Product Designer - Design Systems Features
We’re looking for a systems-minded product designer to help us shape the future of design system features within Figma. In this role, you’ll define the nitty-gritty details of how design systems features will work in Figma. For example, you’d help shape the future of components and variables in the design editor, but also be thinking about how other products across the Figma ecosystem interact with design systems holistically. You’ll work closely with our engineering teams, product teams, and our passionate design systems community to help form and execute on a vision that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the design systems industry.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you'll do at Figma:
Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
Help deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities
Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, design, and research peers
Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals
Design and ship high-quality product improvements
Play a key role in shaping the future of design system features across Figma
Own and ship key feature improvements within the Figma Design Editor
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
5+years of experience designing intuitive, high-quality UX and UI for complex systems
A strong eye for craft, with the ability to design polished interactions and visuals as well as scalable systems
Experience working independently to drive the design process from exploration through launch
A track record of designing for complex or system-oriented experiences (e.g., billing, admin tooling, onboarding flows)
The ability to clearly communicate design rationale, synthesize feedback, and collaborate across disciplines
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Have experience building and maintaining design systems at scale
Comfort navigating ambiguity and framing open-ended problems into actionable design goals
A generative mindset and ability enthusiasm for creative problem-solving
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.
