Forward Deployed Engineer (Integrations)

You'll work directly with customers to get Firecrawl integrated, running, and scaling inside their products. That means writing real code, debugging real systems, and turning customer needs into shipped solutions — fast. This is not a support role. It's a technical ownership role with a customer face.Salary Range: $160,000–$220,000/year (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. You can explore how we calculate this here: https://www.firecrawl.dev/careers/compensation.)Equity Range: Up to 0.10%Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)Job Type: Full-TimeExperience: 3+ years or equivalent shipped systemsVisa: US Citizenship/Visa requiredAbout FirecrawlFirecrawl 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 over a year, we've hit 8 figures in ARR and 100k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get clean, structured web data.We're a small, fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure for the AI era. We ship fast and deep.What You'll DoOwn technical integration delivery for priority customers — from first API call through production scale Write TypeScript/Node.js code to build, customize, and debug integrations with payments systems, cloud platforms, and third-party APIs Debug complex real-world issues live with customers — crawling edge cases, data pipeline failures, infra constraints Build reusable solutions and playbooks that turn one-off customer problems into repeatable wins for the team Translate customer friction into clear product and engineering insights and route them to the right people Work closely with core engineering on reliability, performance, and DX improvements driven by what you're seeing in the field What We're Looking ForA strong TypeScript/Node.js engineer. You write clean, production-quality code and you're fast. You've built integrations with external APIs and you understand what makes them brittle.Experienced with payments and cloud platforms. You've worked with Stripe or similar billing systems. You've integrated with GCP, Vercel, or comparable cloud providers. You don't need to Google the basics.Solid on backend and data fundamentals. You can design a system, model a schema, and reason about data at scale. You know when to reach for a relational database and when not to.Security-aware. You understand the common auth patterns — OAuth, API keys, JWTs — and you know where the traps are when integrating third-party systems.High ownership with customers. You're comfortable in ambiguous, high-stakes situations with real customers. You communicate clearly, set expectations honestly, and follow through.Backgrounds that often do well: integration or platform engineers, solutions engineers who write real code, early engineers at API-first startups who owned customer-facing technical work.What We're NOT Looking ForEngineers who hand off customer problems to someone else after the first call Solutions engineers who demo well but can't ship production code Anyone who needs a fully-scoped ticket before they can start moving A Note On PaceWe're a small team doing a lot. Roles here are loosely defined on purpose — you'll own things that don't have a clear owner yet, and that's a feature, not a bug. If you need your scope fully defined before you can move, this probably isn't the right fit.
