Remote job description
Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, create, test, and ship better designs, together. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone-come make with us!
We're looking for product designers to join the team that works on Figma's newest product, FigJam. We build features to help people run effective meetings and communicate visually across multiple platforms. This is a special opportunity to shape a quickly growing product and team. We're need your help to imagine and bring to life FigJam's tablet experience! We're also looking to better integrate FigJam with all the other tools people use daily and the Figma Community at large.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
- Help deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities
- Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, and design peers
- Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals
- Lay the groundwork and define core interactions across our platforms (tablet, mobile, web)
- Design and ship high quality product improvements
Some projects you could work on:
- Envisioning the future of FigJam on tablet and mobile
- Carving out the strategy for third-party integrations in FigJam
- Designing interactive ways for people to build their collaborative files
- Building tools for all different functions (product, engineering, sales, marketing, etc.) to participate in the design process
- Bringing delight, fun, and humanity to remote work
We'd love to hear from you if you:
- Love tackling ambiguous problems and shaping them into clear goals
- Have a nuanced understanding of tablet and overall touch interactions
- Value high quality well crafted visual and interaction design and care about the details
- Are generative and enjoy coming up with novel, but simple solutions
- Use prototyping to articulate designs and complex interactions
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 anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
