Product Engineer Marketplace

Youll build the Exchange: the system that takes a signed data partnership and makes it live metered and billable through Firecrawls API. The thing that matters most for this role is that you actually care about the problem. The web is being rebuilt around AI and the people who make the web still have no good way to get paid when it happens. We think that is fixable and the Exchange is our answer to it: permissioned access a developer can call in one line and a source can genuinely earn from. If the future of how the web gets accessed and paid for is something you want to spend your time on this is the role. Past that the bar is the same as any product engineer here: a very good engineer with real product sense who owns what they ship. Youll ship real product from day one not tickets in a backlog.

Salary Range: $235000$260000 USD/year (SF) / $217000$233000 CAD/year (Toronto)

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

Location: San Francisco CA (SF HQ) or Toronto ON (Toronto Hub). On-site five days a week.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 5 years. Youve owned production data or integration systems end to end

Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada. Were not able to sponsor US visas right now. For Canada well consider sponsorship on a case-by-case basis through our Toronto Hub.

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. Its 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 180k GitHub stars putting us in the top 50 repositories of all time and developers agents and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare and were just getting started.

Were a small team punching far above our weight working out of SF HQ and our new Toronto Hub. 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.

• Take a signed data partnership and make it live in production: the provider catalog the routing that serves partner data through the Firecrawl API and the ingestion that keeps each feed flowing as the partners systems change

• Own the technical surface of the Exchange working alongside the engineers already building in it

• Make every access chargeable: the metering that turns partner usage into something we can bill report on and pay out against

• Write the gating that enforces what each sources terms allow so a permissioned source stays permissioned once it is serving real traffic

• Work with the Head of Data Partnerships and with the founders on what is technically real for a deal before it gets signed

• Turn each integration into less work for the next one so the second partnership lands faster than the first

• Youve built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used

• Youve owned production data or integration systems end to end: pipelines third-party feeds metering or billing infrastructure or comparable

• You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency response format docs the whole feel of it

• Youre comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features

• You move fast and close the loop. Youd rather ship measure and iterate than perfect on paper

• Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start

• A strong backend engineer whos indifferent to how the product feels to use

• Someone who wants partnerships to mean slide decks with the engineering handed off to someone else

• Someone who optimizes for process over shipping

We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what were building wont stay open forever. If that excites you keep reading. If it doesnt no hard feelings but this role probably isnt for you.

Application Review: Send us your work and a quick note on why this excites you. Show us systems youve owned (integrations pipelines data infrastructure) the strategy behind them and the calls you made. We care about what youve built and shipped not where you went to school.

Intro Chat (25 min): A conversation to get to know each other before we go deep. What youve built what drew you to Firecrawl and what youre looking for. Time for your questions too.

Technical Chat (60 min): Well dig into a real problem from our world taking a signed source from nothing to live metered access developers can call and talk through how youd approach it. Come ready to think out loud. We care how you reason not whether you memorized the answer.

Founder Chats (60 min): Deeper conversations with the founders and the people youd work alongside on vision pace judgment and how you operate. We go both directions on fit.

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

Decision: We move fast after the trial.

If you want to build the system that turns web data into something a developer can call and a source can get paid for you should join us.
