Job description

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., + Application deadline: applications accepted on an ongoing basis until position is closed and filled

  • This posting is for a new position
  • Reporting to the Director, Solutions Architects

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll …

  • Partner closely with strategic enterprise accounts to map business-critical marketing and web workflows
  • Design and build agentic workflows using Webflow APIs, CMS, components, and emerging AI capabilities
  • Build integrations between Webflow and external platforms (ad platforms, analytics, CRM, DAM, data pipelines)
  • Build in human-in-the-loop safeguards, observability, rollback paths, and permission boundaries from day one
  • Help ensure every deployment holds up under production traffic, governance scrutiny, and real-world constraints
  • Document where agentic workflows break down and identify which friction is systemic vs. customer-specific
  • Create reusable architecture blueprints, reference implementations, and shared learnings after every engagement
  • Collaborate pre-sale to de-risk complex AI or integration concerns for strategic accounts

Requirements

  • 4-6 years of experience in solutions engineering, forward deployment, or a customer-facing technical role
  • Strong working knowledge of AI, APIs, automation, data pipelines, and integration architecture patterns

  • Experience designing and supporting systems that manage live web properties at scale
  • Experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, etc.)
  • A track record of working through ambiguity, scoping projects, and delivering in first-of-kind contexts
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed for embedded engagements

You’ll thrive as a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer if you:

  • Think holistically across systems, product, and risk
  • Have strong product intuition and know when to generalize versus customize a solution
  • Feel comfortable working within production constraints
  • Communicate trade-offs clearly, including when the answer is no
  • Have experience with or genuine curiosity about agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration, and autonomous workflows
  • Are familiar with Webflow or similar visual development / CMS platforms
  • Stay curious and open to growth - demonstrating a proactive embrace of AI, and actively building and applying fluency in emerging technologies to elevate how we work, drive faster outcomes, and expand collective impact.
