As an Associate Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll …

• Empower engineers on other teams to take control of their services by maintaining monitoring tooling and collaborating on internal best practices for observability.
• Enhance reliability of applications running in Kubernetes by optimizing resource allocation, streamlining upgrade processes, and ensuring scalability and fault tolerance.

About you:

Requirements:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience

You’ll thrive as an Associate Infrastructure Engineer, if you:

• Have a background as an ops engineer with growing interest in code, or a software engineer background with growing interest in systems and infrastructure.
• Have 2+ years of experience operating or debugging distributed systems in a production environment.
• Are comfortable working in at least one major cloud provider (AWS or GCP) and want to go deeper.
• Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes workloads, and ideally exposure to GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Argo Rollouts.
• Have used an observability stack (e.g., Datadog, OpenTelemetry) to debug production issues like writing dashboards, alerts, or traces, not just reading them.
• Have used at least one infrastructure-as-code tool (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, or similar) and want to build fluency.
• Can read and modify application code to help debug issues, even if you're not a full-stack engineer.
• Are willing to participate in an on-call rotation and follow incident management processes
• 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.

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.
• Own it all the way. We move fast because the moment demands it, and we hold ourselves accountable to deliver outcomes — for each other, and for customers.

Benefits

• 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.
