Developer Advocate, Payload

We're looking for a Developer Advocate focused on Payload to partner closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You'll bring deep design expertise, strong product intuition, and a genuine love for the design and developer community into our go-to-market strategies. You'll also champion our users' voices internally, ensuring their perspectives shape our product evolution.

This is a full-time role that can be held from our New York City or San Francisco hub, or remotely in the United States.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Advocate for Payload: Promote Payload and the Payload + Figma integrations to developers inside and outside Figma.
• Empower Payload connections: Collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Experience teams to help customers unlock the full potential of Payload across real product workflows.
• Engage with the Payload community: Triage GitHub issues and community PRs, including labeling, reproducing and routing them, and working with engineering on review and prioritization.
• Create compelling content: Create technical content for Payload + Figma products: tutorials, demos, videos, starter templates and livestreams.
• Inspire community connections: Foster meaningful relationships within the Payload community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven initiatives.
• Speak and engage at events and in co-marketing: Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and community events, sharing practical insights from real-world design work.
• Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements.

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

• Have deep, hands-on expertise with Payload and experience integrating it within real product teams.
• Are comfortable operating in evolving workflows, including CMS, DAM, design systems, and AI-assisted design or prototyping.
• Are passionate about engaging with and contributing to the design or developer community.
