Reporting to Director, Solutions Architects, you'll work at the intersection of our product, sales, and engineering teams, turning first-of-kind deployments into the blueprints that shape Webflow's platform roadmap.

• Reporting to the Director, Solutions Architects

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll …

• Partner closely with strategic enterprise accounts to map business-critical marketing and web workflows
• Design and build agentic workflows using Webflow APIs, CMS, components, and emerging AI capabilities
• Build integrations between Webflow and external platforms (ad platforms, analytics, CRM, DAM, data pipelines)
• Build in human-in-the-loop safeguards, observability, rollback paths, and permission boundaries from day one
• Help ensure every deployment holds up under production traffic, governance scrutiny, and real-world constraints
• Document where agentic workflows break down and identify which friction is systemic vs. customer-specific
• Create reusable architecture blueprints, reference implementations, and shared learnings after every engagement
• Collaborate pre-sale to de-risk complex AI or integration concerns for strategic accounts

About you:

Requirements:

• 4-6 years of experience in solutions engineering, forward deployment, or a customer-facing technical role
• Strong working knowledge of AI, APIs, automation, data pipelines, and integration architecture patterns
• Strong front-end fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks
• Experience designing and supporting systems that manage live web properties at scale
• Experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, etc.)
• A track record of working through ambiguity, scoping projects, and delivering in first-of-kind contexts
• Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed for embedded engagements

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

• Think holistically across systems, product, and risk
• Have strong product intuition and know when to generalize versus customize a solution
• Feel comfortable working within production constraints
• Communicate trade-offs clearly, including when the answer is no
• Have experience with or genuine curiosity about agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration, and autonomous workflows
• Are familiar with Webflow or similar visual development / CMS 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.

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.
