Great docs are one of the biggest reasons developers pick a tool and stick with it and for a product that lives or dies by developer experience this role matters more than most companies realize. Youll write the documentation guides tutorials and references that turn what does this do into I shipped it in ten minutes. Youll work across engineering and growth dogfood the product constantly and treat clarity as a feature. Youll report to our Growth Marketing Lead and own real documentation surface from day one.

About Firecrawl

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 - 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 147k GitHub stars 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. 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.

What Youll Do

• Write and own the documentation guides tutorials and API references developers rely on

• Turn complex technical functionality into content that gets someone to their first success fast

• Dogfood the product constantly if the docs are confusing you felt it first

• Work directly with engineering to document new features accurately and quickly

• Treat docs as a product: measure where developers get stuck and fix it

What Were Looking For

• Youve written technical documentation for a developer-facing or API product and you can show it

• You write with genuine clarity you can make something complex feel obvious

• Youre technical enough to read code use an API and understand what youre documenting

• You care about the developers experience and sweat the details that make docs actually useful

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

What Were NOT Looking For

• A writer who cant or wont get technical enough to understand the product

• Someone who writes for the sake of volume rather than developer success

• Someone who needs a fully-specced brief to start

A Note On Pace

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.
