We're looking for deeply technical Product Managers to own the developer platform: Figma’s MCP Server, REST API, and key first-party integrations like Figma for Slack and Figma for ChatGPT/for Claude. These roles sit at the intersection of product and infrastructure. If you're excited about developer tooling, systems thinking, and building the foundations that other product teams ship on top of, this role is for you.
What it asks for · 7
- 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
What the job covers
- 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.
