Role 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.

We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to help us build what great agentic web operations look like in production, and turn those learnings into lasting value for the platform. You'll be one of the first people at Webflow to help shape what production-grade agentic web operations actually looks like — not in theory, but live, with real enterprise accounts and real customers depending on the outcome. 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.
