We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager to help lead AI research and product development efforts. In this role, you’ll be focused on the AI experiences inside and outside of Figma. Your work will help raise the ceiling of what’s possible for designers and lower the floor of who can design, using AI. You’ll collaborate closely with a cutting edge AI Research team, developing new models to enable step change experiences. You’ll also be working with Product and Design teams to envision how interacting with these models will look and feel inside the product.
What you’ll do at Figma:
Build and maintain a strong understanding of AI technology in the design space - its constraints, strengths and weaknesses in a fast evolving environment
Understand workflows and use cases for Designers inside of Figma
Define a vision and roadmap for AI driven user experiences, motivating model research and guiding product development with clear requirements
Partner with a wide range of cross-functional partners across Product, Design, Engineering, Research and Data Science to prioritize model improvements across a range of features
Partner with Engineering to set strategy and priorities for teams and projects
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
5+ years of product management experience
Proven track record of shipping and iterating on AI features that drive impact
Experience working in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Experience AI model training, evaluation and iteration
Ability to communicate clearly at different altitudes, including driving alignment with senior stakeholders
Have an affinity for the fast-paced, changing environment of a start-up, a sense of humor and get-it-done personality
Experience scaling AI solutions across multiple internal teams through frameworks and best practices
Partnering with academic institutes and other research organizations
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. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
