Manager, Software Engineering - Growth Platform

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world.

• Leverage AI to scale quality and speed: Explore and integrate AI-driven approaches—for brand consistency checks, visual qua
