Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

At Webflow, we’re building the world’s leading AI-native Digital Experience Platform, and we’re doing it as a remote-first company built on trust, transparency, and a whole lot of creativity. This work takes grit, because we move fast, without ever sacrificing craft or quality. Our mission is to bring development superpowers to everyone. From entrepreneurs launching their first idea to global enterprises scaling their digital presence, we empower teams to design, launch, and optimize for the web without barriers. We believe the future of the web, and work, is more open, more creative, and more equitable. And we’re here to build it together.

We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to prove what great agentic web operations look like in production—and turn those learnings into durable platform leverage.

You’ll operate at the intersection of Product, Sales, and Engineering—turning first-of-kind deployments into reusable patterns that shape Webflow’s platform roadmap.

Engagements are time-bound, and success is measured by how quickly solutions become reusable without ongoing FDE involvement.  If a solution only works for one customer, it’s not complete.

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll … 

• Embed with strategic enterprise accounts to map business-critical workflows
• Architect and implement agentic workflows using Webflow APIs, CMS, and AI capabilities
• Build integrations across external platforms (analytics, CRM, DAM, data pipelines)
• Design systems with observability, rollback, permissioning, and governance from day one
• Ensure deployments are durable, scalable, and operate without ongoing FDE involvement
• Identify where workflows break down and distinguish product gaps from customer-specific issues
• Produce reusable architectures, reference implementations, and documented anti-patterns
• Engage pre-sale to de-risk complex AI and integration use cases

About you:

Requirements

• 4–6 years in solutions engineering, forward deployment, or customer-facing engineering roles
• Strong fluency in APIs, automation, data pipelines, and integration architectures
• Experience building systems that operate on live web properties at scale
• Solid front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, modern frameworks)
• Experience with workflow automation tools (e.g., n8n or similar)
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguity and deliver in first-of-kind environments
• Willingness to travel ~1x/month for embedded customer engagements

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

• Think in systems, not just features
• Balance speed with production discipline
• Know when to generalize vs. keep something bespoke
• Can say no clearly when work doesn’t create leverage
• Are energized by real-world constraints and production environments
• Have experience with (or strong curiosity about) agentic AI and LLM-driven workflows
• Are familiar with Webflow or similar CMS / visual development 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.

• 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.
• Deliver with speed, quality, and craft. We move fast because the moment demands it, and we do so without lowering the bar.

• 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.
