Job Description
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.
Exposure to Adobe Experience Cloud or marketing automation environments
