Product Designer, Search

Posted Jun 15

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, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

We are looking for a Product Designer to help craft consistently magical search experiences in Figma. As Figma continues to build new products and serve new customers, search is an even more critical piece of our product offering. Quick retrieval of content is core to many customer workflows, so we’re looking for a designer who can help wrangle complex into simple solutions that scale with our system. Search is also an important aspect of many of our AI features, so this person would get to work on some of the most cutting edge areas of our product. We’re looking for someone who can help define a vision for Search across our system, and then work collaboratively with teams, stakeholders, and customers to iterate towards that vision. 

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

  • Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction

  • Work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, design, and research peers

  • Design and ship high-quality product improvements

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • 5+ years of experience designing UX and UI for software
  • Experience working independently to explore concepts from beginning to end
  • Demonstrated ability to design simple solutions to complex user problems
  • Experience handling complex projects with overlapping organizational lines
  • Proficiency in prototyping your ideas to help articulate nuanced design decisions

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

  • A generative spirit, and excitement about coming up with novel, simple solutions
  • An eye for high-quality, well-crafted visual and interaction design, and a passion for UI details
  • A knack for figuring out ambiguous problems and shaping them into clear goals
  • Demonstrated ability to make sound decisions and prioritize work effectively
