Product Designer, CMS

Figma is a design and collaboration platform that helps teams bring ideas to life and work together in real time. The Product Designer will design and ship end-to-end content management experiences, translate complex technical systems into intuitive products, and collaborate with engineering, product, research, and design teams to shape CMS platform capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• 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:

• 4+ years of experience designing UX and UI for a software product of similar scale and complexity
• 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
• 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
