On July 17th, according to Business InnersFigma In an interview yesterday, the Vice-President of Product Design, Noah Levin, stated that the availability of the AI tool had significantly improved the standards of companies for candidates for product design positions。
Levin notes that because AI can helpDesignerIn a very short period of time to create a high-quality and interactive prototype, Figma now requires candidates to have the capacity to use the latest AI tool to demonstrate the "highest level of security" design。
Levin recalled that 10 years ago, limited to technical thresholds, it was difficult for designers to produce prototypes consistent with real product experience. Today, the Vibe Coding platform, such as Loveable, Base44 and Emergent, and the AI function of traditional tools, such as Canva and Wix, have made it possible to produce a prototype of high security。
He stressed that candidates should not lag behind the changes in the workflow, and Figma looked forward to seeing candidates actively try new tools。
Levin, however, made it clear that this does not mean that the company accepts the "AI slop" type. In his view, the designer's core responsibilities — to solve user problems and grinding processes — had not changed. He valued the candidates more than the perfect final version for showing the failed prototypes that had been abandoned。
