Product Engineer - Scrape

The posting, as Firecrawl wrote it

PRODUCT ENGINEER - SCRAPE

You'll build the products developers reach for when they need to turn the messy, hostile web into clean data and actions an AI can use. This is hands-on product engineering at the core of what Firecrawl does: shipping features that thousands of developers hit every day, owning them from idea to production, and obsessing over the details that make an API a joy to build on. You'll ship real product from day one, not tickets in a backlog.

Salary Range: $235,000–$260,000 USD/year (SF) / $217,000–$233,000 CAD/year (Toronto)

Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.

Location: San Francisco, CA (SF HQ) or Toronto, ON (Toronto Hub). Hybrid, onsite 3+ days a week.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 3+ years building and shipping developer-facing product

Work Authorization: Open to candidates already authorized to work in the US or Canada. In the US, we also support H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT and STEM OPT, TN (Canada and Mexico), and E-3 (Australia). We’re not able to sponsor new H-1B visas for candidates outside the US. For Canada, we’ll consider work permit sponsorship case by case through our Toronto Hub.

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. It's the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved.

In September 2026, we raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital, and we're spending it building the largest repository of knowledge in the world. We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 192k+ GitHub stars, putting us in the top 40 repositories of all time, 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. That library is called Alexandria, and it starts now.

OUR VALUES

• Bias to action: We move fast, ship hard, and don’t wait to be told.
• Realistic about AI: We’re clear-eyed about what AI can and can’t do, and we keep pushing to use it where it actually works.
• All in: The next few years matter a lot, and we’re all in for them.
• Human connection: As intelligence gets cheaper, relationships with customers, partners, and each other matter more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and ship developer-facing product features from idea to production
• Own the reliability and quality of what you ship against a web that constantly changes

INTERVIEW PROCESS

Application Review: Send us your work and a quick note on why this excites you. Show us what you've shipped: products, features, APIs developers actually used. We care about what you've built, 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 Chat (~45 min): We'll dig into a real problem from our world (shipping a reliable feature against a web that fights back, or designing an API developers love) and talk through how you'd approach it. Come ready to think out loud. We care how you reason, not whether you memorized the answer.

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

Paid Work Trial (~40 Hours): Work with the team on a real, scoped piece of the product, paid at a contractor rate. It's the truest signal for both sides. You see what building at Firecrawl actually feels like, and we see how you ship. Remote-friendly, and we'll flex around your current commitments.

Decision: We move fast after the trial.

If you want to build the products that turn the chaos of the web into something developers and agents can actually use, you should join us.
