• Reporting to the Compose Pillar Lead, you’ll help shape the future of how Webflow enables creators to build content-rich, discoverable, and localized websites at scale.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Site Discovery & Localization, you’ll work across the stack to build intelligent, user-facing workflows that help customers improve how their content performs and reaches audiences around the world.

Your work will focus on evolving Webflow’s Site Discovery capabilities — building full-stack systems that make it easier for teams to analyze, optimize, and localize their site content through guided, semi-automated workflows inside the Webflow Designer and Editor.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and PMs across Compose and Localize to deliver flexible, high-impact features that empower users to understand and grow their audience reach.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack features that improve how users manage and optimize content visibility across markets.
• Work across Webflow’s MERN-based application stack — from backend-for-frontend APIs and service layers to React-based front-end interfaces.
• Collaborate with product and design to translate user needs into performant, intuitive content optimization workflows.
• Contribute to our engineering culture by upholding high standards of code quality, testing, and maintainability.
• Partner with other teams across the Compose and Localize pillars to ensure a cohesive experience for content creation, localization, and performance insight.
• Provide technical mentorship and code review for peers within the team.
• Continuously improve the system architecture to support the evolving needs of Site Discovery and related products.

In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role.

Requirements:

• BS / BA college degree or relevant experience
• 5+ years of experience developing and maintaining production web applications.
• Proven fluency in TypeScript, Node.js, and React.
• Experience building full-stack features in a modern MERN environment (MongoDB, Express, React, Node).
• Strong understanding of front-end performance, accessibility, and maintainability best practices.
• Familiarity with designing and consuming API-driven architectures (REST or GraphQL).

You’ll thrive as a/an Senior Software Engineer if you:

• Enjoy solving open-ended product problems and collaborating closely with product and design partners.
• Are comfortable context-switching between front-end and back-end development to deliver holistic features.
• Balance pragmatic execution with a high bar for quality, scalability, and user experience.
• Communicate clearly about trade-offs, risks, and architectural decisions.
• Are curious about how content optimization, localization, and automation intersect to help users grow their reach.
• Stay curious and open to growth — actively building fluency in emerging technologies like AI to unlock creativity, accelerate progress, and amplify impact.

• 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.
• Reinvent ourselves. We don't just improve what exists, we imagine what's possible.
• Deliver with speed, quality, and craft. We move fast because the moment demands it, and we do so without lowering the bar.

• Ownership in what you help build. Every permanent Webflower receives equity (RSUs) in our growing, privately held company.
• Health coverage that actually covers you. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for full-time employees and their dependents, with Webflow covering most premiums.
• Support for every stage of family life. 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents and 6+ weeks of additional paid leave for birthing parents. Plus inclusive care for family planning, menopause, and midlife transitions.
• Time off that’s actually off. Flexible vacation, paid holidays, and a sabbatical program to help you recharge and come back inspired.
• Wellness for the whole you. Access to mental health resources, therapy and coaching.
• Invest in your future. A 401(k) with 100% employer match (up to $6,000/year) in the U.S., and support for retirement savings globally. 
• Monthly stipends that flex with your life. Localized support for work and wellness expenses — from Wi-Fi to workouts.
• Bonus for building together. All full-time, permanent, non-commission employees are eligible for our annual WIN bonus program.

Temporary employees may be eligible for paid holiday and time off, statutory leaves of absence, and company-sponsored medical benefits depending on their Fixed Term Contract and their country/state of employment.
