What Webflow is looking for in applicants

Webflow is a visual web development platform that empowers non-coders to create incredible experiences for the web.

We’re hiring for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us build thrilling user experiences with the latest web technologies: Node.js, Mongo, AWS, React, Flux architecture, CSS-in-JS, ES2015+, Mocha, Cypress.io, Jest, and Flow. Webflow empowers hundreds of thousands of people and we need your expertise to make us even better.

About the role

  • Location: Remote
  • Full-time

As a Senior Front End Engineer, you’ll ...

  • Build features on a product engineering team enabling visually developed asynchronous workflows, using Javascript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React.js
  • Write performant and accessible UI components (React) that power visual design experiences and websites (check out CSS Grid, E-commerce, Interactions, and more!)
  • Collaborate with software engineers, product managers, designers and QA analysts in an autonomous, supportive team environment
  • Build and maintain unit and integration tests (Mocha, Jest, Cypress)
  • Mentor other engineers on best practices, code design considerations, and quality
  • Improve our planning, development, and deployment processes to help you and your fellow team members
  • Unite our front and back end services

That said, these role responsibilities are just the start! At Webflow, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly. 

About you

You’ll thrive as a Senior Frontend Engineer if you:

  • Have 5+ years working in scalable, multi-tenant environments that drive rich front-end experiences.
  • Have developed a scalable SaaS product or service that builds customer trust through accessible and reliable user experiences
  • Value testing and documentation as much as you do code
  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and scoping solutions with your teammates
  • Have consistently communicated trade offs throughout a project to meet both technical and business requirements
  • Get excited about encouraging and developing earlier-career engineers

If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements.

If you are extended an offer, that offer may be contingent upon your successful completion of a background check, which will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws. We may obtain one or more background screening reports about you, solely for employment purposes. 

Webflow requires all new employees to submit proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status as a condition of their employment.  As such, your failure to timely provide such information, upon Webflow's request, may result in the revocation of your offer or the termination of your employment with Webflow, as applicable. 

At this time, Webflow does not require fully remote employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
