About FirecrawlFirecrawl 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 50k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.
Previously, we built Mendable, one of the first commercially available “chat with your data” applications. We sold to companies like MongoDB, Coinbase, Snapchat, and more. To do this, we spent a surprising amount of time building reliable infrastructure for getting clean data from the web. When we started to see our founding friends rebuilding the same thing, we thought we might be on to something.
Why FirecrawlTechnical ownership – Lead critical browser technology and infrastructure
Real impact – Directly shape how our browser stack drives our entire product
High velocity – Rapid iteration and deployment of your work
Small team, big ambition – Collaborate closely with founders, influencing key decisions and future directions
In just a year, we’ve hit millions in ARR and 50k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data. We’re a small, fast-moving team building essential tools for the AI era. We value autonomy, clarity, and shipping fast.
We’re looking for a Developer Relations Engineer who can bridge our products and the developer community. You’ll create technical content, build example apps, speak at events, and collaborate closely with our engineering team to shape the developer experience. From writing elegant SDKs and demos to engaging with contributors and users, you’ll be the voice and advocate for developers inside and outside the company. If you’re passionate about AI, love building with code, and enjoy helping others do the same, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll DoBuild with Firecrawl: Create example projects, open-source demos, and integrations that show what’s possible.
Own our docs & tutorials: Write, film, or code — whatever best teaches and inspires.
Engage with developers: Answer questions, gather feedback, run demos, participate in speaking events, and be our eyes and ears in the community.
Shape the voice: Drive the tone, style, and clarity of our developer-facing content across docs, GitHub, and social.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with engineering and growth to turn community insights into product improvements.
Experiment constantly: Launch small campaigns, API playgrounds, or mini-tools — if it works, we scale it.
You’ve built real projects with APIs, SDKs, or dev tools — and can explain them clearly.
You love helping developers succeed (and aren’t afraid to hop into Discord or GitHub issues).
You enjoy speaking in front of crowds and love the chance to talk about topics you are passionate about.
You’re comfortable coding in JavaScript, Node, Python, or similar languages.
You can write technical content that’s actually fun to read.
You’re organized enough to juggle multiple experiments without dropping momentum.
You’ve contributed to or maintained open-source projects.
You’ve built developer communities or run technical workshops.
You’ve worked at a scraping, automation, or AI-focused startup.
You’ve created viral technical content (blog, YouTube, X, etc.).
You’re an ex-founder or indie hacker.
