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.

This role is also eligible to participate in Webflow's company‑wide bonus program. Target amounts are a percentage of base salary and vary by career level. Payouts are based on company performance against established financial and operational goals.

As a Staff Technical Writer, you’ll …

• Own Webflow’s end‑to‑end developer docs and information architecture of developers.webflow.com, serving as the lead for docs quality, structure, and consistency.
• Plan, write, and edit API references, guides, “getting started” tutorials, and runnable examples alongside our developer platform team’s releases.
• Define the developer docs style guide and play a key contributor role in creating our API standards.
• Partner early with Product/Engineering to guide standards and ensure consistency across the platform.
• Innovate in docs delivery and guiding content that improves time‑to‑first‑success and our ease of finding answers.
• Represent Webflow’s documentation practice externally (talks, posts) and steward a healthy internal/external contribution model.

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.

About you:

Requirements:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience
• Expert technical communicator for developer audiences, with a track record shipping complex API docs end‑to‑end.
• 3+ years managing developer portals with a focus on developer growth metrics
• Familiarity with OpenAPI schema and API design best practices
• Deep understanding of web frameworks like React, Next.js, and Astro with proficiency building simple web apps in those frameworks
• Native‑level fluency to read, write and speak in English.

You’ll thrive as a Staff Technical Writer if you:

• Have a passion for self‑guided education and see documentation as the highest‑leverage developer enablement tool.
• Love being part of product development lifecycle and guiding the shape of the products.
• Are proactive in gathering and synthesizing insights and are a self‑starter for putting those insights into action.
• Get energy from solving problems and want to share your solutions with the world.
• Stay curious and open to growth — actively building fluency in emerging technologies like AI to unlock creativity, accelerate progress, and amplify impact.

Our Core Behaviors:

• 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.

Temporary employees may be eligible for paid holiday and time off, statutory leaves of absence, and company‑sponsored medical benefits depending on their Fixed Term Contract and their country/state of employment.
