      Come work with me at @figmadesign! We are hiring a design lead for our editor. This is the jobs page where you can apply, but stay on this thread for some examples of why this is such a fun and important role:https://jobs.lever.co/figma/491848e6-975e-4309-a718-625b1ec5de73 …

      Being a design lead for our editor means helping us envision the future of the editor – the main part of Figma. This means both the big, meaty features such as Auto Layout, but also smaller, quality-of-life improvements.

      It’s a position that I feel can be very rewarding and a lot of fun for someone with a blend of design and engineering skills. You would work closely with our excellent design team, but also equally closely with great engineers…

      In my time working at Figma, I learned so much about the technical aspects: the underpinnings of typography, React, web assembly, file formats, web platform limitations, shaders, color spaces, etc.

      (Here’s an example: a talk I gave at Config this February, summarizing just one part of the job. Watch it if you’re curious about what working on our editor can look like when it comes to one aspect – typography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVD-sjtFoEI …)

      But equally, I learned tons about how to put those technical aspects to their best use, how to prioritize an endless list of feature and improvement ideas, and how to simplify complexity in many different ways.

      If you like thinking of the future of design tooling on Monday, pondering what to do to improve the quality of a design tool on Wednesday, and jumping in to fine-tune text selection mechanics on Friday, you will enjoy this role!

      Our design team prides itself on a pretty close relationship with engineering that empowers both sides. One great example is a recent Config talk from @eymlin and @willyvvu about the upcoming auto layout v3:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q5uBR52G2Q …

      We also love details and the hard choices of knowing which details are important given the desire to put things in hands of our users as quickly as possible. Here’s a Twitter thread that is a deep dive of one such detail-filled feature:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1250128070658281474 …

      You will also have a chance to shape the longer-term future of the editor (and, perhaps, if we do a good job, the industry!). Here’s @skuwamoto talking about product thinking at Figma:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcSKQS716WI …

          The role is US-only, but it can be remote (I mean, that part’s pretty obvious these days). Are you interested? Or know someone who might be? My DMs are open, or apply here:https://jobs.lever.co/figma/491848e6-975e-4309-a718-625b1ec5de73 …
