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.
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.

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
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
