Role
Who you are
- We’re a zero-to-one team building a startup within a startup. We’re looking for a Staff Engineer who’s excited to solve challenging problems to address emerging customer needs and behaviors
- The ideal candidate can move fast but with high quality, and views the early stages of product development as a creative canvas and opportunity for high impact. If that’s you, we’d love to talk
- Have 3-5 years of experience building and shipping backend systems and APIs in production environments
- Have strong development experience in Python or similar backend languages, and are comfortable working across services, data systems, and infrastructure
- Think in terms of scalability, reliability, and operability, and enjoy owning systems that require strong production rigor
- Have experience designing backend services, data models, and service interfaces with attention to maintainability and performance
- Are comfortable working with databases, asynchronous systems, and modern backend tooling
- Write high-quality, well-tested code and collaborate effectively through design discussions and code review
- Can independently drive meaningful projects, break down ambiguous problems, and deliver thoughtful, pragmatic solutions
- Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, design, and data/ML partners
- Enjoy solving complex technical problems on a collaborative, distributed team
- Get excited about building reliable backend systems that unlock better experiences for customers
- Stay curious and open to growth, including building fluency in emerging technologies like AI to amplify your impact
- Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Research shows that you may still be considered for a role if you meet just half of the requirements
What the job involves
- The Assets team is building a next-generation, AI-native Digital Asset Manager (DAM) as a core component of Webflow’s WXP vision. Today, critical assets (images, video, PDFs) are scattered across tools and teams, making reuse, governance, organization, and performance insights hard
- The Webflow DAM integrates these asset workflows with the overarching WXP platform, enabling customers to manage their content at enterprise scale while keeping creation fast and on-brand
- Design, build, and maintain backend systems and APIs using Python and related technologies
- Partner with data scientists and machine learning engineers to bring AI/ML capabilities into reliable, production-ready backend systems
- Build scalable and performant backend services that support growing data volumes and evolving product needs
- Develop secure and efficient data storage and retrieval systems with a focus on integrity, resilience, and operational excellence
- Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to design APIs that power intuitive, high-quality product experiences
- Work across the full product lifecycle, from early technical design through implementation, launch, and production support
- Contribute to backend architecture and system design decisions, balancing speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability
- Improve service reliability through strong testing, observability, debugging, and performance optimization practices
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and help raise the quality bar through thoughtful code reviews and collaboration
- Stay curious about emerging technologies and identify practical opportunities to improve our backend systems, workflows, and customer experience
Our take
Webflow is an AI-native web experience platform that enables teams to design, build, manage, and optimize high-performing digital experiences across the entire website lifecycle — from creation to conversion — without relying on fragmented tools or constant developer handoffs.
Unlike traditional website builders or legacy CMS platforms, Webflow combines visual development, content management, optimization, analytics, localization, governance, and enterprise-grade hosting into a single, integrated system. This allows marketing, design, development, and growth teams — and increasingly AI agents — to collaborate in one shared environment while maintaining brand consistency, security, and control.
Built for a world where websites must perform for both humans and AI systems, Webflow helps organizations stay discoverable and relevant as search, personalization, and content consumption evolve. Native AI capabilities are embedded directly into core workflows, accelerating everything from site creation and content updates to experimentation, personalization, and AEO (AI Engine Optimization).
Today, over 3,000 organizations — from startups and agencies to global enterprises including Dell, Spotify, Dropbox, and Upcwork — use Webflow to build brand-forward digital experiences that drive measurable business results. With a strong partner ecosystem, enterprise adoption momentum, and more than $330M in funding, Webflow is redefining how modern teams build and scale on the web.
Rather than replacing developers, Webflow shifts development effort to where it matters most — freeing teams to move faster, operate more efficiently, and evolve their digital presence without replatforming as their needs grow.
