Firecrawl is the web data API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale. Turn any source into clean Markdown or structured data your agents can ship with. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Build and ship developer-facing document-parsing features from idea to production Own the reliability and quality of parsed output across PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and more, including the messy scanned and mixed-format files that break traditional parsers
What they're looking for
- You've built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used
- You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency, output schema, docs, the whole feel of it
- You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features
- You move fast and close the loop. You'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper
- Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start
- A strong backend engineer who's indifferent to how the product feels to use
More about this role
You'll build the endpoint developers reach for when they need to turn documents (PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and more) into clean, layout-aware data an AI can actually use. Parse takes a local or non-public file and returns LLM-ready markdown or structured JSON in a single call, with tables, headings, footnotes, and reading order preserved. This is hands-on product engineering at the core of what Firecrawl does: shipping the document-parsing 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.

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....
