4. Speak and engage at events: Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and Figma community events, amplifying our voice and sharing valuable insights.
5. Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

1. Have deep, hands-on expertise with Figma and experience integrating it within diverse design teams.
2. Are passionate about engaging with and contributing to the design community.
3. Are confident and comfortable speaking publicly, with the ability to captivate large audiences.
4. Have a thorough understanding of modern product design workflows and deep experience building, managing, or using design systems.
5. Can empathize with and address the evolving challenges faced by designers, especially those working at scale or alongside design-adjacent roles.
6. Possess strong technical design skills with meticulous attention to interface details.
7. Are entrepreneurial at heart—excited about bringing ideas from initial experiments to impactful, polished outcomes.
8. Are comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with our community in person.

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills.
