At Webflow, our mission is to bring development superpowers to everyone. As the pioneer of the Website Experience Platform (WXP), we’re redefining how teams Build, Manage, and Optimize for the web — combining visual development, powerful content management systems, AI-driven personalization, seamless hosting, and end-to-end analytics in a single, unified platform. With AI at the core, Webflow helps teams move faster, create more performant digital experiences, and scale without heavy engineering support. From independent designers and creative agencies to global enterprises, hundreds of thousands of organizations use Webflow to turn ideas into reality — and to power what’s possible on the web.

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Backend Engineer to help us build and scale our payments and subscriptions services. This role is pivotal in leading and executing strategic projects aimed at augmenting and scaling our backend services. The immediate challenges ahead include laying the groundwork for Subscriptions and Plan Management, as well as optimizing and expanding our dynamic integration with Stripe. You will be working on systems like low latency API for entitlement services used by all teams, payment APIs, taxation/compliance systems, expanding payment offerings and pricing experimentation. The focus is to build strong pricing and packaging foundations for Webflow as we scale up product led growth (PLG) while growing enterprise business.

The Subscriptions & Payments team works at the intersection of several key, company-wide initiatives, collaborating extensively across functions to enhance payment systems for enterprise-level and self-serve products. Our mission is to develop and expand billing infrastructures with speed and precision, crafting solutions that are not only robust and scalable but also tailored to facilitate Webflow's growth while anticipating and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.
