We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to help us build what great agentic web operations look like in production, and turn those learnings into lasting value for the platform. You'll be one of the first people at Webflow to help shape what production-grade agentic web operations actually looks like - not in theory, but live, with real enterprise accounts and real customers depending on the outcome. Reporting to Director, Solutions Architects, you'll work at the intersection of our product, sales, and engineering teams, turning first-of-kind deployments into the blueprints that shape Webflow's platform roadmap.

  • Design and build agentic workflows using Webflow APIs, CMS, components, and emerging AI capabilities
  • Build integrations between Webflow and external platforms (ad platforms, analytics, CRM, DAM, data pipelines)
  • Build in human-in-the-loop safeguards, observability, rollback paths, and permission boundaries from day one
  • Help ensure every deployment holds up under production traffic, governance scrutiny, and real-world constraints
  • Document where agentic workflows break down and identify which friction is systemic vs. customer-specific
  • Create reusable architecture blueprints, reference implementations, and shared learnings after every engagement

  • Strong front-end fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks

  • A track record of working through ambiguity, scoping projects, and delivering in first-of-kind contexts
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed for embedded engagements

You'll thrive as a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer if you:

  • Have strong product intuition and know when to generalize versus customize a solution
  • Feel comfortable working within production constraints
  • Communicate trade-offs clearly, including when the answer is no
  • Have experience with or genuine curiosity about agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration, and autonomous workflows
  • Are familiar with Webflow or similar visual development / CMS platforms
  • Stay curious and open to growth - demonstrating a proactive embrace of AI, and actively building and applying fluency in emerging technologies to elevate how we work, drive faster outcomes, and expand collective impact.
Our Core Behaviors:
  • Build lasting customer trust. We build trust by taking action that puts customer trust first.
  • Win together. We play to win, and we win as one team. Success at Webflow isn't a solo act.
  • Reinvent ourselves. We don't just improve what exists, we imagine what's possible.
  • Own it all the way. We move fast because the moment demands it, and we hold ourselves accountable to deliver outcomes - for each other, and for customers.
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.
