Role
Who you are
- 7-10+ years of professional software engineering experience designing, building, and operating complex production systems in cloud environments (or equivalent practical experience)
- Proven experience building and deploying AI-powered systems in production, including agent-based or multi-step workflows (RAG, orchestration, tool-calling, memory strategies, evaluation, and failure handling)
- Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript) with demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code
- Deep engineering discipline across clean architecture, distributed systems, APIs, CI/CD, testing strategies, and production observability
- Experience partnering directly with senior or executive stakeholders, translating ambiguous ideas into scalable, technically sound solutions with measurable impact across enterprise systems
- Possess familiarity with AI governance, data classification, prompt injection risks, access control models, and enterprise compliance standards, with a track record of partnering with Security on safe deployment
- Take pride in building AI systems that senior leaders rely on for real decisions — where accuracy, clarity, and trust are non-negotiable
- Thrive in high-visibility environments where your work directly informs executive decisions and company strategy
- Operate with extreme ownership - you don’t wait for perfect specs, and you don’t require tight management loops to deliver meaningful outcomes
- Are comfortable turning loosely defined ideas into structured, production-ready solutions
- Balance technical depth with pragmatism, knowing when “dependable and scalable” is more valuable than “cutting-edge”
- Hold a high bar for engineering quality, recognizing that executive-facing AI systems must be reliable, explainable, and defensible
- Communicate with precision, empathy, and confidence - especially with senior stakeholders
- Think beyond individual workflows and consider long-term enterprise implications, platform reuse, and systemic AI maturity
- Stay curious and open to growth while remaining thoughtful about AI risk, governance, and responsible adoption
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Lead AI Engineer to help us transform Webflow into a truly AI-native organization by architecting and operationalizing trusted, production-grade AI systems that reshape how work gets done and drive measurable enterprise impact - with direct impact at the executive level
- Reporting to the Manager, Enterprise AI Operations
- Serve as the primary AI engineering partner to the CEO and executive leadership team, translating ideas, strategic questions, and emerging concepts into production-ready AI agents and workflows with minimal oversight
- Independently take ideas from concept to production, shaping problem statements, designing system architecture, implementing code, validating outputs, and operationalizing solutions without requiring heavy product or engineering management
- Design and implement complex, multi-step agentic workflows, including multi-agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool use, memory strategies, evaluation frameworks, and cross-system automation
- Develop production-grade AI systems using modern LLMs, orchestration frameworks, and internal tooling, with strong attention to scalability, performance, observability, and clean engineering practices
- Operationalize AI responsibly by implementing guardrails, structured evaluations, monitoring, and validation layers to ensure predictable behavior, reliability, and compliance
- Partner closely with Security and Legal to properly gate sensitive use cases, implementing access controls, audit logging, data minimization, and enterprise-grade governance patterns while balancing safety and speed
- Translate ambiguous, high-visibility problems into clear technical solutions, balancing speed, quality, and risk while maintaining a high bar for accuracy and trust
- Evaluate, select, and rationalize AI tools and platforms, contributing to capability-to-tool decisions and ensuring consolidation, security alignment, and long-term sustainability across the enterprise
- Support post-launch adoption and iteration, incorporating feedback, refining workflows, and continuously improving performance, usability, and measurable impact
- Contribute to org-wide AI maturity by documenting architectural patterns, sharing best practices, and establishing repeatable approaches that elevate internal AI capabilities across Webflow
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.
