Webflow is a visual web development platform that empowers non-coders to create incredible experiences for the web. We’re looking for an engineering manager to help us grow and scale our application and published site hosting infrastructure.
About the role
Location: SF or US Remote
Full-time
As an engineering manager, you'll...
Hold 1:1s with each of your reports where you offer them a platform for growth, allow them to gain clarity, offer suggestions, listen to them, learn about them as human beings, receive feedback, and more.
Guide decisions and create an action-first environment where it's safe to fail as long as you learn.
Lead and train a team of backend and infrastructure engineers as they support and improve our hosting and continuous integration infrastructure.
Understand the nuances of our various infrastructure costs and work to optimize them over time.
Unblock your reports to provide as much fruitful autonomy as possible.
Provide feedback and radical candor designed to steer your reports toward meaningful progress and away from distractions, apathy, or a lack of purpose.
Guide your reports in their career and participate in performance evaluations.
That said, these responsibilities are just the start! At Webflow, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly. And this isn’t just a philosophical bent: we actually give you 4 hours a week (10% of the work week) to pursue passion projects outside of your role responsibilities.
About you
You’ll thrive as an engineering manager if you:
Have experience managing an operations/infrastructure hosting team that provides on-call support for a large application
Have experience in a Technical Leadership role
Have a deep understanding of Javascript, Node.js, Kubernetes, and AWS. Preferably obtained through real-world experience as an SRE or DevOps engineer.
Have significant experience with at least one dynamically typed language (Ruby, Python, PHP) with a strong preference for JavaScript
Have reached a senior engineering position at some point in your career
Embody Servant Leadership and possess a hunger to amplify others
Are comfortable delivering tough feedback respectfully and with candor and kindness
Understand the technical architecture of complex web and mobile applications
If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that meeting just 50% of a role’s requirements puts you in the running.
