What You'll Do

• Land inside a customer's environment, understand what they're building, and make Firecrawl work for their actual use case

• Get hands-on with the product against real customer data, build integrations and POCs that turn "not sure this works for us" into production

• Run technical discovery: diagnose where a customer's extraction or pipeline breaks, and know whether it's usage, a bug, or a real product gap

• Partner with the revenue team to turn technical wins into adoption and expansion, and hit team targets

• Be the trusted technical voice for accounts, and bring what you learn in the field back to product and engineering

• Know when to solve it yourself and when to pull in engineering

What We're Looking For

• You've done forward-deployed, solutions, or customer-facing engineering, ideally at a developer, API, or AI-infra product

• You're technical enough to earn a developer's respect: you can read code, use an API, and build a real POC or integration yourself

• You've owned the full lifecycle for a customer, from demo to POC to production, and can point to the technical work that made it land

• You check before you build: you can tell user error from a bug from a real product gap, and you don't turn every ask into a custom feature

• You can translate between deep technical detail and business value without losing either audience

• You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship a working POC against real data than perfect a doc

Backgrounds that often do well: Solutions engineers or SEs at API/devtools companies. Customer-facing engineers at startups who owned the full lifecycle from demo to deployment. Technical account managers who actually built things. Ex-founders who sold and delivered their own product.

What We're NOT Looking For

• A pure backend engineer who doesn't want to be in front of customers

• A quota-carrying seller who can't build

• Someone who needs a fully-built playbook before they can run

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 that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings — but this role probably isn't for you.

Interview Process

Application Review — Send us your work and a quick note on why this excites you. Tell us about a customer or partner you got to production and the technical problems you solved to get there. We care about what you've done, not where you went to school.

Intro Chat (~25 min) — A quick conversation to get to know each other before we go deep. We'll talk about what you've been working on, what drew you to Firecrawl, and what you're looking for in your next role. Time for your questions too.

Technical & Customer Scenario Interview (~55 min) – We'll walk through a real customer scenario: how you'd run an onboarding, handle a live technical question, and identify expansion opportunities in an account. We're looking for technical depth, customer instincts, and how you think about growing revenue — not rehearsed pitches.

Founder Chat (~25 min) — Culture, pace, ownership, and how you like to work. Time for your questions too.

Paid Work Trial (1-2 weeks) — Take on a real, scoped customer scenario with the team, paid at a contractor rate. Build a POC, scope an integration, or run a technical discovery. It's the truest signal for both sides: you see what the role actually feels like, and we see how you operate. We'll flex around your current commitments.

Decision — We move fast after the trial.

If you want to be the engineer customers ask for by name — and the reason accounts expand — at one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure startups, this is your shot.
