Webflow is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Software Supply Chain to modernize and secure the technical foundation for their AI-native Digital Experience Platform. The role involves leading platform migrations, shaping automated systems for dependency updates, and improving developer velocity. A key responsibility is leveraging AI to evolve governance from simple patch updates to automated, risk-based merging of non-breaking changes. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience, deep technical knowledge in Node.js, TypeScript, and React, and a passion for automation and improving developer lives. Experience with modern build systems and a proactive embrace of emerging technologies, including AI, are essential.

What you'd actually do

  1. Modernize core platforms by executing high-impact foundational upgrades to improve runtime performance, enable new features and adhere to security requirements.
  2. Standardize frontend architecture by driving coordinated upgrades across our monorepo and micro-frontends, leveraging automated codemods to minimize manual refactoring for other teams.
  3. Scale automated governance by leveraging AI to evolve our use of tools from simple patch updates to automated, risk-based merging of non-breaking changes.
  4. Optimize build performance by partnering with teams to modernize our toolchain (e.g., Nx, Rspack, SWC) to drastically reduce CI wait times and the memory footprint of our applications.
  5. Eliminate technical debt by systematically identifying and remediate package vulnerabilities and version drift, moving Webflow to a proactive, "secure-by-default" posture.
