About the company
Firecrawl is the easiest way to turn the web into data AI agents can use. One API call converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data - the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved. We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 170k+ GitHub stars, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship developer-facing document-parsing features from idea to production.
- Own the reliability and quality of parsed output across PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and more, including the messy scanned and mixed-format files that break traditional parsers.
- Turn hard, ambiguous problems (layout detection, table structure, reading order, OCR routing) into clean APIs developers love to use.
- Work directly with the engineering team on the roadmap and the tradeoffs behind it.
- Dogfood the product, read the GitHub issues, and let real developer pain drive what you build.
Requirements
- You've built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used.
- You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency, output schema, docs, the whole feel of it.
- You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features.
- You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper.
