About the role
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!
As a Product Design intern at Figma, you will own real impactful projects and take them from ideation to execution. You will work fluidly and collaboratively with your mentor, the rest of the design team, as well as other functions. Because of this, you should have a broad set of design skills and be motivated to learn. Over the course of the summer, you’ll have the opportunity to ship meaningful contributions to both the company and the product.
This internship will be based out of our San Francisco or New York hub.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Own the design from start to finish for impactful features that ship quickly
- Collaborate with product, research, marketing, and other functions to identify user and business needs
- Work closely with Engineering to ensure a high-quality implementation
- Create flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals for your features
- Participate in weekly design critiques
