📋 Description

• Set the long-term technical vision and architecture for backend systems powering experimentation, personalization, analytics, and conversion optimization across Webflow. • Architect and evolve high-throughput distributed systems and APIs that ingest, process, and serve large volumes of visitor and event data with low latency, high availability, and strong consistency guarantees where it matters. • Lead foundational platform investments and the data infrastructure that supports them, that unlock new product capabilities for years to come. • Partner closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and product engineers to productionize statistical and AI/ML capabilities into reliable, real-time backend infrastructure. • Lead complex, multi-team, multi-quarter technical initiatives end-to-end: from problem framing and technical strategy through implementation, launch, and long-term operational ownership. • Influence the engineering roadmap and technical strategy across the Convert pillar and partner pillars, identifying the highest-leverage investments and aligning teams behind them. • Raise the engineering bar across the org through architecture review, technical standards, observability and operational excellence practices, and the systems and tooling that support long-term quality. • Mentor and grow staff and senior engineers, multiplying your impact through the people you develop and the technical culture you help shape. • Stay current with industry trends in distributed systems, experimentation platforms, real-time data, and AI/ML infrastructure, and proactively identify opportunities to advance Webflow's backend platform and engineering practices. • Translate product vision into concrete technical problems and execution plans.

🎯 Requirements

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience • Bring 8+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on expertise building and operating backend systems and distributed systems at scale. • Have a strong technical foundation in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go, with solid fluency in modern frameworks, distributed systems patterns, and system design. • Have designed, built, and operated high-throughput, data-intensive distributed systems in production — with a strong understanding of scalability, fault tolerance, consistency tradeoffs, observability, and performance optimization. • Have demonstrated technical leadership on complex initiatives, influencing architecture and execution within and beyond your immediate team. • Partner effectively with product, design, data science, and ML stakeholders to translate business needs and customer outcomes into scalable technical solutions. • Bring strong judgment, communicate clearly with technical audiences, and make pragmatic tradeoffs in fast-moving environments. • Demonstrate a proactive embrace of AI, actively building and applying fluency in emerging technologies to elevate how we work and drive faster outcomes. • Nice to have: Experience with experimentation platforms (A/B testing, feature flagging, multi-armed bandits), personalization or recommendation systems, marketing analytics, or customer data platforms. • Familiarity with the statistical foundations of online experimentation (variance reduction, sequential testing, CUPED, etc.) and the infrastructure required to support them at scale. • Experience with Node.js and TypeScript in large production systems is a plus, but not required.
