About Firecrawl
Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we've hit millions in ARR and 68k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.
We're a small, fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure for the AI era. We value autonomy, clarity, and shipping fast.
About The Role
We're looking for a Developer Experience Engineer to be the bridge between our product and the developers who use it. You'll build in public, create integrations, ship open source projects, and make sure every touchpoint—docs, demos, tutorials, landing pages—helps developers succeed with Firecrawl.
This role sits on the marketing team but you'll spend most of your time writing code, not copy. You're the technical voice that makes our product click for developers.
What You'll Do
- Build integrations and open source projects that showcase what's possible with Firecrawl
- Write technical blog posts, tutorials, and guides that developers actually want to read
- Create and improve developer documentation—make it clear, accurate, and useful
- Film demos and walkthroughs for product launches and marketing content
- Be a technical pair of eyes on marketing copy, landing pages, and announcements
- Build landing pages and handle minor design work for campaigns and launches
- Contribute to Launch Week setup, execution, and content creation
- Engage with the developer community—GitHub issues, Discord, Twitter, wherever they are
- Build in public and share what you’re working on
Who You Are
- 3+ years as a software engineer, devrel, or similar technical role
- You ship side projects and genuinely enjoy building things
- You can write—technical content that's clear, concise, and helpful
- You're comfortable on camera or willing to get there (demos, walkthroughs, etc.)
- You have opinions about what makes good developer experience
- You're active in the developer community—open source, Twitter, blogs, whatever your thing is
- You can context-switch between code, content, and creative work without losing momentum
- Bonus: Experience with web scraping, AI/LLM tooling, or developer tools
What It Means to Join Firecrawl
- Build in Public — Your work ships fast and the community sees it
- High Leverage — Touch product, marketing, and community all at once
- Autonomy — Own your projects end-to-end with minimal oversight
- Remote-First Culture — Work from anywhere in U.S. time zones
- Creative Freedom — If you think it'll work, we'll let you try it
