Job summary

Figma is seeking the first engineering manager for the Growth Platform to shape its vision and deliver incremental value each sprint. You’ll hire the initial team, define culture, and set engineering standards while scaling capabilities such as personalized messaging and cross‑system integrations.

You’ll lead with AI to improve quality and speed, guiding architecture and cross‑functional collaboration across Marketing, Product, Design, and Data. This role can be remote within the United States.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in engineering management, with a strong track record of building and shipping application platforms.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience at the application or product tier.
• Experience driving outsized impact from small changes—a UI layout change that lifted growth 20%—and energized by enabling such wins at 10x scale.
• Demonstrate strategic insight to optimize impact for both longer and short term.
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, delivering continuous value while building toward a longer-term platform vision.
• Track record of prioritizing by impact, leveraging existing assets to accelerate, and scaling through platform-level thinking.
• Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, product, design, and data.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the team: Hire the initial engineers for the Growth Platform’s first team. Set the team’s culture, operating rhythm, and engineering standards. Mentor engineers, create career growth opportunities, and help scale the organization as scope expands
• Build capabilities that unlock new experiments: This isn’t about building an experimentation platform—it’s about building the product capabilities (personalized messaging, self‑service publishing, cross‑system integrations) that make it dramatically easier for teams across Figma to run growth experiments without engineering bottlenecks
• Leverage AI to scale quality and speed: Explore and integrate AI-driven approaches—for brand consistency checks, visual quality validation, copy generation, and experiment governance that allow experiment volume to grow without proportional growth in manual review
• Provide hands‑on technical leadership: Guide architecture decisions, review system designs, and make build‑vs‑investigate choices
• Partner across the company: collaborate with Marketing to align on cross‑channel messaging, partner with growth teams to identify platform capability needs, and work with product teams to ensure growth messaging improves the end‑user experience
• Shape the platform vision: Define what to build next based on adoption, impact, and what you learn from each phase. The roadmap will evolve as we learn—you’ll be central to how it evolves
