Requirements
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.
Figma is a critical part of modern product development, where design and code are core primitives in how builders create, iterate, and ship products.
Figma's Code Platform team builds the foundational infrastructure that enables seamless translation between design, code, and AI-powered creation.
From LLM-powered code generation to agentic design-to-code workflows, we're integrating AI deeply into how developers
experience Figma. Our work powers products such as Make, Prompt to Edit, MCP, and other Figma surfaces.
As AI becomes central to how products are built in the industry, Code Platform sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI enabling the next generation of creation tools.
You'll build AI forward systems that translate between structured design models, and LLM-friendly representations, and balancing deterministic solutions with AI generated solutions across latency and correctness across Figma.
