Job Description

About the Role

The Senior Developer Relations Engineer role at Webflow is pivotal in the company's mission to empower teams to design, launch, and optimize for the web without barriers. This position requires a unique blend of technical expertise, community engagement skills, and the ability to advocate for the best developer experience. As a remote-first company, Webflow values flexibility, creativity, and the ability to work independently.

Reporting to the Senior Group Product Manager, Developer Platform, the successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team that is redefining the future of the web. The role involves collaborating closely with product, designer, and engineering teams to provide insights from the developer community, ensuring a tight feedback loop that enriches the product development lifecycle.

Webflow's transition from a design-first tool to a full-stack development platform presents an exciting challenge for a Senior Developer Relations Engineer. The company is investing heavily in its developer ecosystem, and this role is crucial in bridging the two worlds of design and development.

What You Will Do

  • Create helpful agent skills, starter prompts, and tools to enable agentic building experiences on Webflow.
  • Represent Webflow's developer platform at conferences, meetups, live streams, and other events.
  • Collaborate with product, designer, and engineering teams to provide insights from the developer community.
  • Contribute strategically to team direction by identifying emerging opportunities (new frameworks, ecosystem shifts, competitive gaps).
  • Help define what a world-class developer community looks like at Webflow.
  • Develop and maintain documentation and guides for developers.
  • Engage with the developer community through forums, social media, and direct outreach.
  • Analyze community feedback and translate it into actionable insights for the product and engineering teams.

What We Are Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and REST APIs.
  • 8+ years of experience in a customer-facing role, with a focus on developer relations or a similar field.
  • Strong understanding of developer ecosystem needs and trends.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
  • Experience with community building and engagement.
  • Knowledge of AI-native digital experience platforms and their applications.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Experience with content creation, including written and video content.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Webflow or similar platforms.
  • Knowledge of design principles and human-centered design.
  • Experience with event planning and execution.
  • Familiarity with developer tools and SDKs.
  • Basic understanding of Excel for data analysis.

Benefits and Perks

  • Competitive salary aligned with the cost of labor in different geographic markets.
  • Eligibility to participate in Webflow's company-wide bonus program.
  • Comprehensive health insurance.
  • Flexible PTO policy.
  • Remote work stipend.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • Access to the latest technologies and tools.
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
  • Recognition and reward for outstanding performance.

How to Stand Out

  • Ensure your portfolio highlights your experience in building scalable web applications and community engagement.
  • Develop a strong understanding of Webflow's platform and its potential applications before applying.
  • Practice explaining complex technical concepts in simple terms, as this is a key aspect of developer relations.
  • Be prepared to discuss your experience with community building and how you handle feedback from developers.
  • Highlight any experience you have with AI-native digital experience platforms and how you see them evolving.
  • Prepare to back your salary expectations with market data and your understanding of the company's geographic pay zones.
