About Firecrawl
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 just over a year weve hit 8 figures in ARR and 100k GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get clean structured web data.
Were a small fast-moving technical team building essential infrastructure for the AI era. We ship fast and deep.
What Youll Do
Own Firecrawls technical documentation rewriting restructuring and maintaining docs so both humans and AI agents can discover and use the product effectively
Run and grow our YouTube channel scripting filming editing and publishing a consistent cadence of tutorials walkthroughs and demos developers actually finish watching
Build a presence in the AI engineering and open source community on social at conferences in Discord servers in the places developers actually hang out
Translate developer feedback into product insights and route them clearly to engineering
Create content that drives adoption not just views by meeting developers where they are in the build process
Show up on camera and on stage: conference talks livestreams Twitter Spaces wherever our developers are
What Were Looking For
An engineer who can teach. You have a software engineering background and have built with APIs SDKs or developer tools. You know what it feels like to hit a wall in someone elses docs and you know how to fix it.
A YouTube operator. Youve owned a technical YouTube channel before not just appeared in videos. You know the full workflow: scripting for retention filming efficiently editing for technical audiences and building a publishing cadence that doesnt collapse under pressure.
Fluent in the AI/ML developer ecosystem. Agents LLM tooling orchestration frameworks RAG pipelines you speak this language and youve built in it. You understand where Firecrawl fits and why developers reach for it.
Thinks about docs as infrastructure. You understand that in an agent-first world documentation needs to be structured for machines as much as humans. You have opinions about how to do that.
Community-connected. You have real relationships in the AI engineering or open source world not just followers. You can open doors for Firecrawl that cold outreach cant.
Backgrounds that often do well: DevRel at an API-first or developer tools company software engineer who started a technical YouTube channel open source contributor with a content track record.
What Were NOT Looking For
Content marketers who have never shipped code
People who measure DevRel success in video views over developer adoption
Anyone waiting for a content calendar to be handed to them before they start creating
A Note On Pace
Were a small team doing a lot. Roles here are loosely defined on purpose youll own things that dont have a clear owner yet and thats a feature not a bug. If you need your scope fully defined before you can move this probably isnt the right fit. If you want to build something that matters inside one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the world lets talk.
