Product Manager, Developer Platform

Figma is hiring a Product Manager to own parts of its developer platform, including its MCP Server, REST API, and first-party integrations. The role defines platform strategy, shapes architecture and UX decisions with engineering partners, and turns input from product teams, customers, and vendors into platform commitments.

Responsibilities:

• You’ll define and drive the strategy for one or more parts of our developer platform: the big bets, build-vs-buy calls, and how to sequence it all
• Design↔code platform: how we translate between designs in Figma’s SceneGraph to code in customers’ Makes and production codebases
• External 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.)
• 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:

• 6+ years of product management experience working on highly technical products
• Proven experience shipping developer tools, infrastructure products, or AI-powered technical systems
• Shipped measurable quality improvements to a product: you can point to the metrics that moved and how you moved them
• 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
• Technical communication: You distill highly technical concepts into clear decisions and direction
• A track record of driving strategy and execution across ambiguous, fast-moving product areas
