Figma Developer - AI & Automation

Figma Developer – AI & Automation

We are seeking a Figma Developer with deep expertise in the Figma Plugin API, Generative AI integration, and enterprise creative automation. This role focuses on building intelligent, AI-driven plugins that extend Figma’s capabilities, automate repetitive design workflows, and integrate seamlessly with Adobe, AEM, and GenAI ecosystems to accelerate digital content production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize Figma plugins and widgets using the Figma Plugin API, Widget API, and REST API for advanced design automation and collaboration.
• Integrate Generative AI capabilities (Adobe Firefly, custom Firefly models, Azure GenAI Studio, OpenAI / Azure OpenAI) for text-to-image generation, layout suggestions, image enhancement, and metadata tagging directly within Figma.
• Build two-way integrations with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Creative Cloud APIs for asset synchronization, design publishing, and versioned updates.
• Implement AI-assisted features such as smart resizing, background removal, color palette generation, and layout adaptation using Firefly, Sensei, and custom-trained AI models.
• Connect Figma to external APIs (AEM Assets, Photoshop, SharePoint Graph, Azure Blob Storage) for content lifecycle management and automated approvals.
• Develop secure OAuth 2.0 / JWT-based API integrations and use webhooks for real-time communication with backend systems.
• Ensure plugin UI/UX excellence with TypeScript + React-based architectures, emphasizing speed, modularity, and maintainability.
• Apply accessibility best practices to ensure generated assets and design components align with guidelines.

Technical Skill Set

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and modern front-end tooling.
• Deep experience with Figma Plugin API, Widget API, and Figma REST API (component, frame, asset, and metadata operations).
• Proficiency in Adobe APIs (Firefly, Photoshop, Express, Creative Cloud Libraries, AEM Assets/Delivery).
• Experience developing and integrating custom Firefly models and GenAI Studio endpoints for branded or domain-specific creative generation.
• Working knowledge of Azure Services (Function Apps, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Blob Storage) for workflow automation and content orchestration.
• Familiarity with computer vision and machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, or OpenAI embeddings) for creative intelligence tasks like object detection or image similarity.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, webhooks, authentication flows, and secure API communication.
• Knowledge of Figma plugin publishing, versioning, and enterprise deployment best practices.
• Excellent debugging, testing, and performance optimization skills for Figma sandbox environments.

Preferred Experience

• Experience integrating AI copilots or chat-based assistants inside design tools.
• Background in design systems, brand governance automation, or creative workflow optimization.
