Role

Who you are

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 5+ years of experience shipping features and products
BA/BS degree or equivalent experience
Have backend development experience with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB
Possess strong understanding of web development best practices and principles, including responsive design and accessibility standards
Effectively communicate and collaborate with cross-functional teams
Are eager to learn and adapt to new technologies and tools
Love thinking through large technical problems and working through that complexity on a collaborative, distributed team
Are comfortable building up a mental model of a product and architecture through reading code and debugging existing software
Can debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
Take pride in taking ownership and driving projects to business impact
Have consistently communicated trade-offs throughout a project to meet both technical and business requirements
Are comfortable working in an agile, safe-to-fail environment
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
We’re a zero-to-one team building a startup within a startup. We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who’s excited to solve challenging problems to address emerging customer needs and behaviors
As a Senior Backend Engineer, Assets you’ll collaborate with designers, PMs, data scientists and engineers to plan and build product capabilities that enable our ambitious visual development goals
Co-create new and improved functionality across multiple areas of the Webflow technology stack using technologies such as React, Javascript/Typescript, HTML, CSS, Node.js, and MongoDB
Tackle complex technical challenges on a collaborative and geographically distributed team
Solve problems in a highly technical platform that empowers hundreds of thousands of people
Apply web best practices, including performance optimization techniques, accessibility standards and secure data exchange between different domains
Build, document, and test production code that impacts all Webflow customers
Participate in all engineering activities including incident response, interviewing, designing and reviewing technical specifications, code review, and releasing new functionality
Improve our planning, development, and deployment processes to help you and your fellow team members
In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role

Our take

No-code development systems allow users to create and publish the kind of output that was once only possible with the help of a team of developers. Webflow is one such platform that allows non-developers to create professional websites without knowing any code. It joins others such as Pantheon, Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix in a hotly-contested low-code development market. While competition is high, so too is demand, with low-code platforms accounting for more than 65% of application development activity in 2024.

The popularity of platforms such as Webflow is perhaps not surprising, as low-code development is usually cheaper for companies to implement and reduces time to market. Webflow has been used by over 3.5 million designers and teams to create sites for companies including enterprise brands such as Dell, Rakuten, UpWork, and Petal. It raised a large amount of funding in a Series C round in 2022. This is being used to further develop its platform, with a longer-term goal of pivoting to providing a no-code tool not only for websites, but software development as well.
