Design Handoff (Figma to Code)
Also written as Design Handoff, Figma to Code, Figma to HTML, Pixel-Perfect, Figma Dev Mode, Zeplin
Turning a designer's mock-ups, usually in Figma, into working screens: reading spacing, colours and fonts from the design, matching it closely ('pixel-perfect'), and agreeing with the designer what happens on screen sizes and states the mock-up doesn't show.
Think of it like
Building a house from the architect's drawings, and knowing what to ask when the drawings don't show the back door.
Junior or senior?
Many JDs ask for 'pixel-perfect UI'.
Junior sounds like
Copies the mock-up closely.
Senior sounds like
Spots missing states (loading, errors, empty lists, mobile) and settles them with the designer before building.
Ask them
“When a design didn't cover something, like an error or a mobile layout, what did you do?”
