Manager, Software Engineering - Community

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
• Partner with product and engineering leadership to set strategy, priorities, and mission for teams 
• 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
• Work closely with Product, Research, Design, Data and other engineering teams to define and build best-in-class product experiences and growth strategies
• 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:

• Exposure to driving platform level strategy and new product incubation
• Experience working in growth teams with hypothesis and experiment driven product development 
• Product Analytic Expertise, facilitating user research and data to help create new opportunities or investment areas for your team
