Product Engineer Marketplace

Youll build the Exchange: the system that takes a signed data partnership and makes it live metered and billable through Firecrawls API. The thing that matters most for this role is that you actually care about the problem. The web is being rebuilt around AI and the people who make the web still have no good way to get paid when it happens. We think that is fixable and the Exchange is our answer to it: permissioned access a developer can call in one line and a source can genuinely earn from. If the future of how the web gets accessed and paid for is something you want to spend your time on this is the role. Past that the bar is the same as any product engineer here: a very good engineer with real product sense who owns what they ship. Youll ship real product from day one not tickets in a backlog.

Salary Range: $235000$260000/year

Equity Range: Competitive equity details shared during the process.

Location: San Francisco CA (Onsite)

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 5 years - Youve owned production data or integration systems end to end.

Visa: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Were not able to sponsor visas right now though that may change down the line.

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 175k 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.

• Take a signed data partnership and make it live in production: the provider catalog the routing that serves partner data through the Firecrawl API and the ingestion that keeps each feed flowing as the partners systems change

• Own the technical surface of the Exchange working alongside the engineers already building in it

• Make every access chargeable: the metering that turns partner usage into something we can bill report on and pay out against

• Write the gating that enforces what each sources terms allow so a permissioned source stays permissioned once it is serving real traffic

• Work with the Head of Data Partnerships and with the founders on what is technically real for a deal before it gets signed

• Turn each integration into less work for the next one so the second partnership lands faster than the first

Youve built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used

• You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency response format docs the whole feel of it

• Youre comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features

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

• Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start

• A strong backend engineer whos indifferent to how the product feels to use

• Someone who wants partnerships to mean slide decks with the engineering handed off to someone else

• Someone who optimizes for process over shipping

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.
