About the role
Senior Growth Engineer Role
You'll write the code that turns developers discovering Firecrawl into developers who can't live without it. This is a full-stack engineering role pointed entirely at growth: you'll own the signup, activation, onboarding, and conversion experience, and you'll be measured on the funnel metrics you move, not just the features you ship. You'll instrument, experiment, build, and iterate on the product surfaces that drive our PLG motion. You'll report to our VP of Revenue and Success and own real conversion outcomes from day one.
About Firecrawl
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 147k+ GitHub stars, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare, and we're just getting started.
We're a small team punching far above our weight. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves - no hiding behind process or headcount.
This is a place for people who want to work at the frontier: an AI company building the infrastructure other AI companies run on, not one bolting AI onto an existing product. We move fast, go deep, and are building the tools superintelligence will rely on to gather data from the web.
What You'll Do
- Own the growth surfaces end to end: signup, activation, onboarding, and conversion
- Instrument the funnel, run experiments, and ship the changes that move real metrics
- Build full-stack, from the frontend a developer first touches to the backend that powers it
- Treat conversion and activation as your number, you own it, measure it, and move it
- Work close to the data, form hypotheses, test them, and iterate fast on what works
What We're Looking For
- You're a strong full-stack engineer who's worked on growth or PLG products
- You've personally owned a conversion, activation, or funnel metric, and moved it, not just shipped features someone else measured
- You think like a scientist: hypothesis, experiment, measure, iterate, and you've run real A/B tests you can talk about, including what you learned when they didn't go as planned
- Bonus if you've shipped in-product growth surfaces at a dev-tools or SaaS company (onboarding, activation, upgrade flows, in-product guidance) or built conversion pages that measurably moved signup, not just static pages that shipped
- Bonus for experience with our stack (Next.js, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, Vercel, PostgreSQL, and the Anthropic Claude API) or for having built with LLMs in production: prompt engineering, tool use, inference pipelines
- You've worked on developer-facing products, SDKs, playgrounds, docs surfaces, APIs, and understand how developers actually adopt tools
- You have a track record of staying with your work long enough to see it through (we look for real tenure, not a trail of short stints)
- You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper
What We're NOT Looking For
- A growth marketer, this is an engineering role that writes production code
- A backend engineer with no interest in the product surface or the metrics
- Someone who's only ever shipped features without owning an outcome
- A pattern of short stints, we want someone who commits
A Note On Pace
We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If you've felt what "scaling chaos" is like at a company growing fast from early revenue to real scale, you'll feel right at home. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings — but this role probably isn't for you.
About Firecrawl
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 our first year, we hit 8 figures in ARR and 125k+ 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 that superintelligence will use to gather data from the web. We ship fast and deep.
Why Firecrawl
- Technical ownership. Own critical infrastructure end-to-end. No layers, no committees, no waiting for permission.
- Real impact. Your work shapes the product directly. Ship something Monday, see it in customer hands by Friday.
- High velocity. Rapid iteration, fast deployment, short feedback loops. We move at the pace of the problem.
- Small team, big ambition. Work shoulder to shoulder with founders. Influence the decisions that define what Firecrawl becomes.
What it Means to Join Firecrawl
- High leverage. Your work directly amplifies company growth. Every system you build, every process you ship, every customer you close compounds.
- Autonomy. Own your domain. We care about outcomes, not hours.
- Remote-first with an SF hub. Most of the team is remote, working across 10+ time zones. Our SF office is open for anyone who wants to work in person, and we bring the whole team together regularly for offsites.
- Growth opportunity. Early equity and a role that scales with the company. Senior people get senior surface area.
- Creative freedom. Experiment with new channels, formats, and automations. If it works, we run with it.
