Role
Who you are
- Have 5+ years of experience in full-stack, product-focused software engineering, with a proven track record of shipping impactful products to market
- Bring 1+ years of hands-on experience building products that leverage AI/ML technologies to solve real-world problems
- Are highly proficient in JavaScript and/or TypeScript
- Have an intuition of AI/ML concepts and technologies, such as large language models, vector databases, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and prompt engineering
- Have experience measuring and improving the quality of large language model outputs through the use of techniques like prompt engineering and fine tuning
- Have strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug production issues across multiple layers of the stack efficiently and effectively
- Demonstrate exceptional organizational and communication skills, capable of breaking down complex technical ideas for both engineering and non-engineering audiences
- Are passionate about delivering business value through fast iteration, with a bias toward shipping early and often
- Take ownership of your work and are motivated by driving projects to impactful, measurable outcomes
- Thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams, and are excited to mentor and contribute to the team’s overall success
- Obsess over customer experience. We deeply understand what we’re building and who we’re building for and serving. We define the leading edge of what’s possible in our industry and deliver the future for our customers
- Move with heartfelt urgency. We have a healthy relationship with impatience, channeling it thoughtfully to show up better and faster for our customers and for each other. Time is the most limited thing we have, and we make the most of every moment
- Say the hard thing with care. Our best work often comes from intelligent debate, critique, and even difficult conversations. We speak our minds and don’t sugarcoat things — and we do so with respect, maturity, and care
- Make your mark. We seek out new and unique ways to create meaningful impact, and we champion the same from our colleagues. We work as a team to get the job done, and we go out of our way to celebrate and reward those going above and beyond for our customers and our teammates
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Applied AI team to help us build generative AI-powered features. The Applied AI team’s goal is to enhance the speed, creativity, and quality when building and designing websites through the power of AI, in pursuit of our mission to bring development superpowers to everyone around the world
- This role will collaborate directly with product and ML engineers, product managers and designers to identify and implement AI solutions that improve the Webflow user experience, while cultivating an environment of excellence, care, and curiosity
- Reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager
- Stay up-to-date on AI/ML ecosystem advancements to assess their relevance to Webflow’s product strategy
- Develop and integrate third-party AI APIs into the product's architecture
- Be comfortable with making decisions with incomplete information and adjusting priorities as new insights emerge
- Work closely with the product and design teams, owning and iterating on the solution together
- Improve developer processes for building LLM-powered applications, helping to establish best practices in prompt engineering, experimentation, and quality assessments
- Develop a deep understanding of our architecture and codebase while also learning about our product and the customers that use it
- Work in an environment that fosters creativity, learning, and growth
- Build and maintain tests and evaluation and monitoring of generative AI outputs
Our take
No-code development systems allow users to create and publish the kind of output that was once only possible with the help of a team of developers. Webflow is one such platform that allows non-developers to create professional websites without knowing any code. It joins others such as Pantheon, Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix in a hotly-contested low-code development market. While competition is high, so too is demand, with low-code platforms accounting for more than 65% of application development activity in 2024.
The popularity of platforms such as Webflow is perhaps not surprising, as low-code development is usually cheaper for companies to implement and reduces time to market. Webflow has been used by over 3.5 million designers and teams to create sites for companies including enterprise brands such as Dell, Rakuten, UpWork, and Petal. It raised a large amount of funding in a Series C round in 2022. This is being used to further develop its platform, with a longer-term goal of pivoting to providing a no-code tool not only for websites, but software development as well.
