Senior Growth Engineer

Firecrawl's Product Growth team runs like an engineering org. Every initiative we take on (activation flows, conversion landing pages, in-product surfaces, internal tooling) is shipped as real software by the people on this team. The backlog is long and most of it is bottlenecked on engineering capacity, not ideas.

We need a senior full-stack engineer who can take on growth projects end-to-end: scope the work, build the frontend and backend, ship it to production, and iterate. Someone who can work across the stack at speed and own ambitious projects without needing a PM to break them down. This is a high-output IC role. You'll work directly with the Head of Product Growth on priorities, build alongside the team's data and growth engineers, and have direct access to core engineering for anything that needs coordination.

Scope note: top-of-funnel work (brand, SEO content, broad marketing site) lives with the Marketing team. Your work lives closer to conversion: the pages, flows, and in-product surfaces where interested users turn into active, paying customers.

Salary Range: $175,000 to $275,000/year OTE (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your country's cost of living.)

Equity Range: 0.01 to 0.10%

Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)

Job Type: Full-Time (SF) or Contract (Remote)

Experience: 5+ years

Visa: US Citizenship/Visa required for SF; N/A for Remote

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 8 figures in ARR and 120k+ 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 superintelligence will use to gather data on the web. We ship fast and deep.

• Own growth projects end-to-end: Scope the work, write the frontend and backend, ship to production, and iterate based on what the data says. Move in days and weeks, not quarters.

• Build in-product growth features: Ship the onboarding, activation, retention, and expansion surfaces that turn signups into paying customers: usage dashboards, contextual upgrade prompts, feature discovery, guidance states.

• Improve the playground: Our highest-leverage conversion surface. Make it faster, smarter, and easier for a developer to go from "trying it" to "using it."

• Ship conversion landing pages: Own the pages closest to conversion: partner integrations, competitive comparisons, use cases, campaign pages. Full stack: component, copy scaffolding, data layer, and the API endpoints behind anything interactive.

• Build internal tooling: Ship the UIs the Product Growth team uses to operate: customer dashboards, outreach interfaces, manifest views, triage tools. Turn repeatable manual work into software.

• Run experiments and measure: Instrument what you build. Run real A/B tests. Know whether the thing worked before shipping the next thing.

• Improve developer experience where it touches growth: SDK ergonomics, sample code, starter templates, first-run experiences. The surfaces where activation lives or dies.

Strong full-stack engineer. You ship production code across React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Node. You're comfortable in Python and SQL too. You've owned real features end-to-end, not just frontends or just APIs.

Product-minded with taste. You can look at a flow or a page and tell what's broken before the data does. You care about the details, and you can shape what you're building without needing a spec handed to you.

Growth-oriented. You think in funnels, activation curves, and conversion rates. You want to know how your work moved the number, not just whether it shipped. You instrument everything.

AI-native. You already use AI tools daily as core work infrastructure. You've pushed Claude, Copilot, or similar tools far enough to know where they help and where they don't. You use them to ship more, faster.

Fast and scrappy. You ship working versions, not perfect plans. You know when a one-off script is better than a framework and when a quick fix is better than an abstraction. You'd rather ship four experiments this week than one polished feature next month.

Clear communicator. You can explain what you built and why to non-technical teammates. You write good PR descriptions and document what's worth documenting.

• You've shipped in-product growth features at a developer-tools or SaaS company: onboarding, activation, upgrade surfaces, in-product guidance.

• You've built conversion landing pages that measurably moved signup or activation, not just static pages that shipped.

• You've built internal tools that the team you worked with actually used every day.

• You've run real A/B tests and can talk about what you learned, not just what you shipped.

• Experience with our stack: Next.js, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, Vercel, PostgreSQL, Anthropic Claude API.

• You've built with LLMs in production: prompt engineering, tool use, inference pipelines.

• You've worked on developer-facing products: SDKs, playgrounds, docs surfaces, APIs.

• You know what "scaling chaos" feels like at a company doing 5M-50M ARR.

• Ship the Growth Number: The surfaces you build are how Firecrawl activates, expands, and retains customers. Every feature is a lever, and the impact is visible.

• High Leverage: One well-built flow can move activation by double-digit percentages. Your work is measurable and shipped to every user.

• Autonomy: Own your work. We care about outcomes, not hours. Ship what matters, skip what doesn't.

• Growth Path: Start as the senior IC. As the team grows, you'll have the option to lead engineers or go deeper technically.

• Remote-First Culture: Collaborate from anywhere, or work out of our SF HQ.

• Generous PTO: 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded); take the time you need to recharge

• Parental leave: 12 weeks fully paid, for moms and dads

• Wellness stipend: 100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human

• Learning & Development: Expense up to 150/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally

• Team offsites: A change of scenery, minus the trust falls

• Sabbatical: 3 paid months off after 4 years, do something fun and new

• Full coverage, no red tape: Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for spouse/kids), no weird loopholes, just care that works

• Life & Disability insurance: Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance

• Supplemental options: Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance for extra peace of mind

• Doctegrity telehealth: Talk to a doctor from your couch

• 401(k) plan: Retirement might be a ways off, but future-you will thank you

• Pre-tax benefits: Access to FSAs and commuter benefits (US-only) to help your wallet out a bit

• Pet insurance: Because fur babies are family too

• SF HQ perks: Snacks, drinks, team lunches, intense ping pong, and peak startup energy

• E-Bike transportation: A loaner electric bike to get you around the city, on us

1. Application Review. Send us your stuff, and a quick note on why you're excited. Links to things you've shipped count more than a resume.

2. Intro Chat (~20 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.

3. Product Growth Engineering Interview (~30 min). Walk through a growth feature you built end-to-end. Discuss how you shipped it, measured it, and iterated.

4. Interview with Founders (~30 min). Culture, vision, and long-term fit.

5. Paid Work Trial (1-2 weeks). Ship a real growth project to production.

6. Decision. We move fast.

If you want to be the senior engineer building the growth features at one of the fastest-growing AI companies, this is it.
