Job Level

About the role

  • Work across infrastructure, backend services, CLI tooling, and dashboard interfaces to deliver cohesive platform capabilities.
  • Drive architectural decisions that balance scalability, security, and developer experience.
  • Build APIs and internal systems that abstract complex infrastructure into simple, developer-friendly workflows.
  • Implement and maintain edge compute or middleware capabilities for request handling, authentication, and response transformation.
  • Architect reliable, scalable, and performant compute infrastructure to support high levels of parallel builds and deployments.
  • Implement observability across the build pipeline (metrics, tracing, logging) to diagnose bottlenecks and improve system resilience.

Requirements

  • BS / BA college degree or relevant experience
  • Have 5+ years of experience shipping features and products
  • Have development experience with AWS, Cloudflare, Node.js, and MongoDB
  • Passionate about building developer platforms and tooling, especially focused on building and hosting modern web frameworks
  • Effectively communicate and collaborate with cross-functional teams
  • Love thinking through large technical problems and working through that complexity on a collaborative, distributed team
  • Get excited about the mission of making deploying with Webflow as seamless as designing in it
  • Think in terms of scalability and operability, and like owning systems that require real production rigor (visibility, troubleshooting, and scale)
  • Are comfortable collaborating across product + design + engineering to deliver cohesive experiences that span API/backend services, CLI tooling, and dashboard UX
  • Stay curious and open to growth — actively building fluency in emerging technologies like AI to unlock creativity, accelerate progress, and amplify impact.
Benefits
  • Ownership in what you help build. Every permanent Webflower receives equity (RSUs) in our growing, privately held company.
  • Health coverage that actually covers you. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for full-time employees and their dependents, with Webflow covering most premiums.
  • 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.
  • Time off that’s actually off. Flexible vacation, paid holidays, and a sabbatical program to help you recharge and come back inspired.
  • Wellness for the whole you. Access to mental health resources, therapy and coaching.
  • 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.
  • Monthly stipends that flex with your life. Localized support for work and wellness expenses — from Wi-Fi to workouts.
  • Bonus for building together. All full-time, permanent, non-commission employees are eligible for our annual WIN bonus program.
