Manager, Software Engineering - AI Product (London, United Kingdom)

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!

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join the Developer Tools team at Figma. This team is building solutions targeting mainly frontend and full stack developers, helping them bring products from idea to production faster than ever. As a manager on the Developer tools team you will lead teams working across Dev Mode, MCP, Code Connect, and more. You’ll also be responsible for helping define the future of our developer offering, very likely helping incubate and lead new product development. Developer tools is a major initiative at Figma and is spearheaded from the London office. You’ll be working on one of the most exciting areas within Figma incorporating design thinking, the latest AI developments, and open source developer tooling.

This is a full time role that can be held from our London hub or remotely in the UK.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Manage and support a team of product engineers focused on building and expanding Figma’s developer offerings, including Dev Mode, MCP, Code Connect, and more
• Partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to coordinate work across product, design, engineering, and other functions
• Define strategy & roadmap for your team and execute on that roadmap with a high degree of autonomy, velocity, and craftsmanship
• Provide hands-on technical leadership to your teams and others that collaborate with your teams to ensure a cohesive product experience and the right technical abstractions
• Recruit, mentor, and retain high performing engineers (and help with other cross functional roles). You’ll foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and taking calculated risks
• Figma is committed to building an inclusive and diverse team and culture. We expect all of our leaders to play a role in helping to build and drive these initiatives through hiring, community events, and other programs in partnership with teams across all of Figma

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 2+ years of experience managing software engineers working on products used by external users
• A proven track record of building AI-powered products (both as a manager and individual contributor) that are best in class in user experience
• Demonstrated ability to tie product and engineering work to clear business impact
• Demonstrated leadership s
