Manager, Software Engineering - Community
Figma
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!
The Community team under Growth is on a mission to both fuel Figma’s top-of-funnel growth and deliver a product experience that inspires and delights Figma’s global community of creators. The Community product enables millions of designers and makers to connect, publish, and monetize their work — building a vibrant ecosystem that fosters creativity and collaboration. At the same time, Community serves as a critical resource hub, where 20% of WAU discover templates, AI resources, and new product experiences like Sites, making it a key driver of adoption and engagement. In this role, you will shape both the product and platform roadmap, ensuring Community continues to thrive as both a beloved destination for creators and a growth engine for Figma.
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:
- Lead, grow and support a diverse team of full stack engineers responsible for Community and Resource hub

- Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization
- Grow your career in an engaged and creative engineering community
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 3+ years of experience managing and leading high output engineering teams
- Hands-on technical experience: you have built complex products and systems as an individual contributor, and can represent the technical details of work shipped by the team you’ve managed
- Demonstrated leadership skills in building a high-performing and highly engaged engineering team. Proven track record of motivating, mentoring, and guiding senior engineers
- Prior experience in building and growing product businesses
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
