Figma is growing its team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. They are looking for deeply technical Product Managers to own the AI Platform that powers Make and the agent, focusing on the distributed developer systems and infrastructure that integrate AI capabilities.
Responsibilities:
- You’ll define and drive the platform strategy for one or more areas of the AI platform: the big bets, build-vs-buy calls, and how to sequence it all. Those areas:
- Search & context: how Figma leverages context from inside and outside our platform while retaining the trust of enterprise customers
- Integrations platform: how external AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) access Figma context using our MCP Server & REST APIs, how and when Figma’s AI products appear in other surfaces (Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.)
- As you drive platform strategy, you’ll:
- Influence product roadmaps where platform capabilities create new product opportunities
- Partner with EM and tech leads to make key architecture and UX decisions
- Talk frequently with product teams, customers, and our partners & vendors, and distill learnings from those conversations into platform commitments
- Raise the bar for technical PMs at Figma: pattern-match across the four areas, surface cross-cutting problems, and pull peers and EMs into the calls that need them
Requirements:
- 8-10 years of product management experience working on highly technical products
- Proven experience shipping developer tools, infrastructure products, or AI-powered technical systems
- Experience working on AI agent systems, code generation tools, or programmable interfaces
- Hands-on technical fluency: you've built and shipped things yourself — at work, in side projects, or in open source — and you can read a PR, you can participate actively in architecture conversations
- Strong systems thinking: you understand how complex components interact and can improve the whole, not just the parts
- A track record of driving strategy and execution across ambiguous, fast-moving product areas
- You distill highly technical concepts into clear decisions and direction
- Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks, deployment pipelines, or cloud infrastructure
- Experience scaling platform capabilities across multiple product teams
- Experience launching enterprise-scale products
