Job description

Webflow is the agentic web marketing platform for modern marketing teams, helping organizations build, manage, and optimize high-performing web experiences that drive predictable growth and strengthen brand trust. Building at Webflow will need grit, because we move fast, without ever sacrificing craft or quality.

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the team building code-native Webflow: a high-fidelity code representation that moves seamlessly between visual and code-based workflows, so developers can work directly in code and trust nothing gets lost coming back. This foundation also powers a new class of coding agents that understand and modify the same underlying system.

This is a player-coach role: you'll grow an exceptional team while staying close to the technical work: shaping architecture, resolving hard design decisions, and contributing directly when it helps the team move faster.

About the role:

• Location: Remote-first (United States; BC & ON).
• Full-time
• Permanent
• Exempt
• The cash compensation for this role is tailored to align with the cost of labor in different geographic markets. We've structured the base pay ranges for this role into zones for our geographic markets, and the specific base pay within the range will be determined by the candidate’s geographic location, job-related experience, knowledge, qualifications, and skills.
  • United States (all figures cited below are in USD and pertain to workers in the United States)
    
    • Zone A: $248,000-$310,000
    • Zone B: $233,600- $292,000
    • Zone C: $217,000-$$272,000
  • Canada (All figures cited below in CAD and pertain to workers in ON & BC, Canada)
    • 270,000-338,000 CAD

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.

Reporting to the Director of Engineering.

As a Senior Engineering Manager you'll:

• Set the technical and product direction for making Webflow code-native, including high-fidelity round-tripping between visual and code surfaces
• Lead the integration of coding agents into the Webflow building experience
• Own the developer experience of working with Webflow in code, from core primitives and APIs to tooling and feedback loops
• Turn an emerging problem space into a coherent roadmap, sequencing foundational platform work with customer-facing capabilities
• Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teams across Webflow
• Stay technically engaged through architecture, design reviews, prototyping, and hands‑on contribution where it has the most leverage
• Hire, coach, and develop engineers while building a high-performing technical culture

About you:

Requirements:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience

You’ll thrive as a Senior Manager, Engineering if you:

• Have 4+ years experience leading engineering teams building developer products, platforms, or technically complex product surfaces
• Have strong enough technical depth in areas like compilers, code generation, language tooling, IDEs, or developer infrastructure to actively shape architecture
• Have experience building with AI or agentic systems, or demonstrated ability to get deep in the space quickly
• Have a track record of turning ambiguous technical problems into systems that customers can actually use
• Are comfortable balancing long-term architecture with the pressure to ship and learn
• Have a leadership style that combines high technical standards with strong coaching and team development
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
