Figma’s mission is to make design accessible to everyone, and especially developers! In just the past couple of years Figma has launched many features that bring designs closer to production, such as Components, Auto Layout, and Variants. However, this is just the beginning. With your help we will revolutionize the way developers and designers collaborate to build great products.

The Developer Tools team exists in recognition that developers play a crucial part in not only the development, but also the design of products. The Developer Tools team works closely with many other product and engineering teams to ensure Figma continues to push the boundaries of collaboration between design and engineering.
