What You'll Do

  • Design and build the crawling, indexing, and retrieval systems behind Firecrawl Search
  • Push down latency and cost per query while search volume grows
  • Improve ranking quality and freshness for LLM-driven retrieval
  • Own services end to end — design, ship, monitor, and iterate in production
  • Work directly with the Head of Search and the rest of the search team on the roadmap

What We're Looking For

  • You've built and operated backend or distributed systems at real scale
  • You care about latency, cost, and correctness in equal measure
  • You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped systems
  • You move fast and close the loop — you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper

What We're NOT Looking For

  • Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start
  • Someone who wants to specialize narrowly and hand off everything else
  • Someone who optimizes for process over shipping

Available to all employees

  • Salary that makes sense — $190,000–$260,000/year, based on impact, not tenure
  • Own a piece — Up to 0.05% equity in what you're helping build
  • 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 all parents
  • Wellness stipend — $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human
  • Learning & Development — Expense up to $1,000/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

Available to US-based full-time employees

  • 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 — coverage for life's curveballs
  • 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

Available to SF-based employees

  • 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
