Overview
We’re looking for a lead UX writer/content designer for Dev Tools – the team making it possible to build the ideas designed in Figma. In this role, you’ll focus on the developer experience inside and outside of Figma products, and you’ll explore how we can continue to close the gaps between design and production.
Dev Mode – our first major developer product – is still in its infancy, and it’s just the beginning of Figma’s ambitions in this space. If you have an eye for simplicity and craft, curiosity for how product teams work together, and an appreciation for twisty technical challenges, you can help us define the future of design and developer collaboration.
This is a full-time role that can be held in our New York hub or remotely on the East Coast.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to overall product strategy around Figma’s developer experience.
- Help deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities.
- Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, design, writing, and research peers.
- Create, collaborate, and iterate on the user experience—content, flows, and prototypes.
- Partner with design to ship high-quality product experiences and improvements.
- Oversee language across a broad product suite, building taxonomies, glossaries, and other artifacts in support.
Qualifications & Experience
- 5+ years of experience crafting UX, whether in content, design, or engineering.
- A proven understanding of the English written language and its role in crafting high-quality UX.
- A strong understanding and familiarity with common coding concepts and languages.
- An eye/ear for cohesive, intuitive storytelling, and for high-quality, well-crafted design.
- Experience working independently to explore information architecture, mental models, and content.
- Demonstrated ability to craft simple language solutions to highly complex user problems.
Added Advantage
- Experience as a software engineer, design engineer, or other developer role.
- Experience as a UX designer, creative technologist, or other design-centric role.
- A generative spirit, and excitement about coming up with novel, simple solutions and language.
- A track record of leading 0-to-1 initiatives.
