At Webflow, we’re building the world’s leading AI-native Digital Experience Platform, and we’re doing it as a remote-first company built on trust, transparency, and a whole lot of creativity. This work takes grit, because we move fast, without ever sacrificing craft or quality. Our mission is to bring development superpowers to everyone.

- Join our Data Stores team, which owns the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of core datastores (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), including schema and index strategy, connection best practices, and performance tuning.
- Partner cross-functionally with product, application, and platform teams (including embedded engagements) to support new use cases, onboard new products, and unblock dependency-driven work.
- Reduce toil by designing and implementing automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for datastore provisioning, upgrades, backups, and disaster recovery.
- Lead efforts to identify systemic datastore issues, drive root-cause analysis, and implement durable fixes to improve long-term stability.
- Establish guardrails, standards, and best practices to ensure consistent and scalable adoption of datastores across teams; anticipating growth and avoiding repeat failure modes.
- Guide and empower engineers on other teams to introduce new features and functionality into production in a safe, sustainable way.

- Participate in and continuously improve on-call and incident response processes.
- Help define the culture of this growing team as it expands its international presence.
