Manager, Software Engineering - Figma Weave (Tel Aviv, Israel)

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life-whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world’s leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we’re building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft - a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.

We're looking for an experienced and accomplished engineering leader to join us in our mission to scale Figma Weave while upholding the quality and craft our users love. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, Marketing, and GTM to chart the course for these features and leverage them to help Figma further deepen its engagement with designers.

This is a full time hybrid role based out of our Tel Aviv, Israel office.

What you'll do at Figma Weave:

• Partner with Product and Design to build and execute on a long-term roadmap
• Work closely with cross-functional partners and other engineering teams to expand what's possible with the application of AI to creative problems
• Hire, manage, support and develop a team of engineers, including staff level engineers
• Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization
• Contribute to and help shape the growth of the Weave engineering organization as it scales
• Play an active role in building an inclusive team culture through hiring practices, mentorship, and cross-team community programs

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

• 4+ years of experience hiring and leading teams as an engineering manager
• Ability to think strategically about engineering and product roadmaps, on both short and longer term time horizons
• 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
• Proven leadership skills in building a high-performing and highly engaged engineering team, including an established track record of motivating, mentoring, and guiding senior engineers, and hiring top industry talent
• Exceptional ability to work cross-functionally across Product, Design, and Marketing, as well as collaborating with other engineering teams to ship both customer and internal-facing projects

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

• Experience working with, or on, design/creative tooling
