Full Job Description
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. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us! At Figma we believe design doesn't end in a file or with your designer — it includes everything that goes into the product you ship: the production code that ties it all together, the systems and developer tools that make that code reliable, the context you provide to our AI agents, and the documentation that keeps everyone on the same page. The Code Area at Figma is redefining how Designers, PMs and Engineers collaborate. We are responsible for agentic workflows enabling ideation and prototyping on production codebases as well as accelerating the journey from design to code. In 2023, we launched Dev Mode, a suite of features that give developers everything they need to navigate design files and transform designs into code. In 2025, we introduced Figma's MCP, accelerating how ideas get to production. Looking to the future, we aim to further reduce the barriers between design to code and code to design allowing ideation, prototyping and productionisation to happen seamlessly where it most makes sense. Our Code organization is expanding, and we're hiring AI Product Engineers across multiple levels in the UK and Ireland. We're looking for people who have built generative AI products and are eager to lead AI efforts end-to-end, from early ideas to production. Join us in shaping the future of AI at Figma. What you'll do at Figma: Build and evolve Dev Mode, Figma's leading tool for dev/design collaboration Take part in building new 0→1 products within the agentic coding space Collaborate with designer
