Manager

Description:

The developer extensibility team is just getting started and you would be the first engineering manager to lead this new team, helping define the strategy & roadmap for future extensibility work as it relates to Dev Mode. As all customer’s workflows & challenges are unique, extensibility is crucial to enabling customers to drive the largest efficiency gains with Dev Mode by tailoring it to their needs. Extensibility encompasses our plugin platform, REST APIs, integrations with tools such as VSCode, and much more.

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 Dev Mode product.
• 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.
   

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 products (both as a manager and individual contributor) that are best in class in user experience.
• A relentless focus on business impact through product & engineering excellence.
• Demonstrated leadership skills in building a high-performing and highly engaged engineering team; including mentoring, and growing senior engineers.
