Senior Manager, Engineering

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. Building at Webflow will need grit, because we move fast, without ever sacrificing craft or quality.

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the team building code-native Webflow: a high-fidelity code representation that moves seamlessly between visual and code-based workflows, so developers can work directly in code and trust nothing gets lost coming back. This foundation also powers a new class of coding agents that understand and modify the same underlying system.

This is a player-coach role: you'll grow an exceptional team while staying close to the technical work: shaping architecture, resolving hard design decisions, and contributing directly when it helps the team move faster.

You’ll thrive as a Senior Manager, Engineering if you:

• Build lasting customer trust. We build trust by taking action that puts customer trust first.
• Win together. We play to win, and we win as one team. Success at Webflow isn't a solo act.
