When applying, please mention you found this role on WeLoveProduct - it helps Figma track where great candidates come from 🙌

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're looking for an AI Model Designer to join our team and become the bridge connecting our AI research innovations with world-class design principles. In this unique role, you'll help us teach our models how to be better copilots for designers. You'll work across all our products to improve our AI models' design capabilities and oversee evaluation quality.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of design. As an arbiter of craft and taste, you’ll help raise the ceiling for what designers can create with AI and shape the future of design tools.

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:

  • Collaborate closely with AI researchers to improve model performance from a design perspective.
  • Develop and document design principles and heuristics that can be used by our AI systems.
  • Build thorough methods to test and enhance the quality of AI-generated outputs.
  • Oversee the quality of our design evaluations and give guidance to external partners.
  • Be the bridge between the AI research team and designers, translating technical details for designers and design concepts for AI experts.

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

  • Background in creating or evaluating AI-generated designs.
  • Experience developing design heuristics and design principles.
  • Technical understanding of AI/ML concepts and how they apply to design
  • Experience leading design efforts for a suite of products or working on features that span multiple product lines.
  • Proven track record in managing complex projects that involve collaboration across different teams and organizational boundaries.
  • Experience managing contractors and multiple projects on tight timelines.

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

  • Strong design background with excellent taste and attention to detail.
  • Operational mindset with ability to improve processes.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and shaping open-ended challenges into clear goals.
  • Strong communication skills for explaining complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
