About the role
- Join our Data Stores team, which owns the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of core datastores (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), including schema and index strategy, connection best practices, and performance tuning.
- Partner cross-functionally with product, application, and platform teams (including embedded engagements) to support new use cases, onboard new products, and unblock dependency-driven work.
- Reduce toil by designing and implementing automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for datastore provisioning, upgrades, backups, and disaster recovery.
- Lead efforts to identify systemic datastore issues, drive root-cause analysis, and implement durable fixes to improve long-term stability.
- Establish guardrails, standards, and best practices to ensure consistent and scalable adoption of datastores across teams; anticipating growth and avoiding repeat failure modes.
- Guide and empower engineers on other teams to introduce new features and functionality into production in a safe, sustainable way.
- Occasionally dive into the main Webflow application (TypeScript, Node, or Go) to debug and sometimes fix production behavior.
- Participate in and continuously improve on-call and incident response processes.
- Help define the culture of this growing team as it expands its international presence.
Requirements
- Either a background as an operations or production engineer with an enthusiasm for code, or a software engineer with an enthusiasm for systems and infrastructure.
- 5+ years of experience building, maintaining, and debugging distributed systems in a customer-facing environment with little to no downtime.
- Hands-on experience operating and scaling production datastores (MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL), including performance tuning, schema or index design, and incident-level troubleshooting.
- Experience supporting multiple teams using shared datastore infrastructure, including establishing guardrails, best practices, and patterns that scale with growth.
- Experience navigating and scaling multi-tier cloud environments on AWS or GCP using containerized and Kubernetes-based architectures.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, including managing stateful infrastructure.
- Enthusiasm for mentoring and sponsoring less-experienced engineers.

- Support for every stage of family life. 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents and 6+ weeks of additional paid leave for birthing parents. Plus inclusive care for family planning, menopause, and midlife transitions.

- Invest in your future. A 401(k) with 100% employer match (up to $6,000/year) in the U.S., and support for retirement savings globally.
