Senior Software Engineer, CI and Automation
Webflow is a visual web development platform that empowers non-coders to create incredible experiences for the web.
We’re hiring for a Senior Software Engineer to work on the next generation web publishing platform and help us democratize software development. You’ll be part of a team that builds thrilling user experiences with the latest web technologies: React, Flux architecture, CSS-in-JS, ES2015+, Cypress.io, Jest, and Flow. Webflow empowers hundreds of thousands of people and we need your expertise to make us even better.
About the role:
- Location: San Francisco HQ or remote (anywhere in the Western Hemisphere)
- Full-time
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll
- Join our Automation and Code Quality team, which is responsible for the Continuous Integration system that allows our engineers to build and test the main Webflow application
- Build developer tooling that supports and enhances the productivity and day-to-day efforts of your fellow engineers
- Work with other teams in the Systems and Infrastructure group to ensure consistency and performance across environments and improve the process of getting code from local development to production
- Work in an agile, safe-to-fail-but-always-learn environment, and hunger for growth opportunities
That said, these responsibilities are just the start! At Webflow, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly.
And this isn’t just a philosophical bent: we actually give you 4 hours a week (10% of the work week) to pursue passion projects outside of your role responsibilities.
About you
You'll thrive as a Senior Software Engineer if you:
- Experience with testing, test frameworks, test automation, and the work necessary to build and maintain tooling to make testing easier
- Built and maintained Continuous Integration pipelines and systems
- A deep understanding of modern JavaScript tooling (webpack, CSS-in-JS, babel, eslint, etc.) and web technologies such as CSS and HTML
- Experience with container-centric architectures, built with Docker and tools like Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, OpenShift, etc.), ECS, Docker Swarm, or Mesos
- Experience or interest in contributing to full-stack applications built using React, Node, and MongoDB
- Enthusiasm for mentoring and guiding less-experienced engineers
- Previous experience as an engineer on a product or infrastructure team
- Experience with code coverage and test metric tools, understands their limitations and strengths, and are familiar with one or more of them (we use Codecov and internally-built test metric dashboards).
It would be a bonus if you had even one of the following:
- Experience working in a distributed team, especially across international time zones
- Experience with performance and/or load testing concepts and tools
- Have a cursory knowledge of object oriented and functional programming paradigms, GraphQL, and JavaScript runtime performance optimization
If you don’t meet 100% of the above requirements, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a job if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements!
We don’t expect you to be an expert in all of the areas described above, but you should have enough skill to recommend an architecture for a mid-sized project, the ability to break that project down into phases, and an ability to execute on your plan. You should also be interested in improving your skills in the areas you are less familiar with.
