## About this role.

AI SummaryWebflow is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the development of its code-native platform, enabling reliable movement between visual and code-based workflows. This player-coach leader will set architecture and product direction for code representation, developer tooling, APIs, coding agents, and high-fidelity round-tripping. The role combines hands-on technical leadership with roadmap ownership, cross-functional partnership, hiring, coaching, and development of a high-performing engineering team. Ideal candidates have substantial experience leading complex developer-platform teams and strong depth in compilers, code generation, language tooling, IDEs, developer infrastructure, or AI/agentic systems.

Sample interview questionsHow would you approach defining a technical roadmap for code-native Webflow when the problem space is still emerging?I would begin by identifying the essential user workflows and fidelity guarantees the system must support, then define a small set of architectural principles and measurable platform outcomes. I would sequence foundational representation, transformation, and validation capabilities ahead of customer-facing workflows, while using prototypes and early adopter feedback to validate assumptions. The roadmap would explicitly manage technical risks, dependencies, and learning milestones rather than treating it as a fixed feature plan.

Describe a time you made an important architecture decision amid ambiguity and delivery pressure.

I frame the decision around the irreversible constraints, user impact, and operational risks, then gather targeted input from the engineers closest to the system. I document viable options, make trade-offs explicit, and choose an approach that protects critical long-term flexibility while enabling a near-term milestone. After shipping, I establish metrics and review points so that the team can validate or revise the decision based on evidence.

What practices would you use to ensure high-fidelity round-tripping between visual and code-based surfaces?

I would treat fidelity as a product contract and define it through clear invariants, canonical representations, and deterministic transformations. The engineering strategy would include comprehensive golden tests, property-based testing where appropriate, versioning and migration policies, and observability for transformation failures. I would also ensure developers have clear debugging tools and feedback loops to understand exactly why a round-trip changed output.

How do you lead a player-coach engineering team without becoming a bottleneck?

I stay close to the highest-leverage technical decisions but delegate ownership of domains, decisions, and execution to capable engineers. I create mechanisms such as design reviews, written decision records, clear interfaces, and regular coaching so the team can move independently with sound judgment. My hands-on work is intentional and temporary, focused on unblocking critical paths, raising standards, and helping others become stronger owners.

How would you evaluate and safely introduce coding agents into a developer product?

I would start with narrowly scoped, high-value workflows and define success measures around correctness, user trust, completion quality, and time saved. Agents should operate with transparent plans, inspectable diffs, strong permission boundaries, and easy rollback rather than making opaque changes. I would pair evaluation datasets and human feedback with production telemetry, expanding autonomy only after the system demonstrates reliable performance.

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.
