[Hiring] Product Engineer @Firecrawl

Role Description

You'll own Firecrawl's browser interaction layer — the product that turns Firecrawl from a data extraction tool into the eyes of every AI agent on the web. Interact lets developers scrape a page and then pull data by acting on it: clicking, filling forms, navigating, completing authenticated workflows, extracting data static scraping can't reach.

This is our #1 product hire. You own the product decisions, not just the code. You talk to customers, figure out what they actually need (not what they say they need), make prioritization calls with incomplete information, and ship the right thing fast. You also build it — but the product judgment comes first.

Qualifications

• 3+ years shipping developer-facing products in browser automation, web scraping, or agent tooling

Requirements

• Own the Interact product end-to-end — scrape-then-interact workflows, prompt-based interaction, session chaining, persistent profiles, live view
• Talk to customers and read every GitHub issue, Discord thread, and support ticket that touches Interact
• Separate what customers ask for from what they actually need, and prioritize accordingly
• Ship fast product experiments — hypothesis, build, measure, decide in days
• Make prompt-based interaction reliable and magical: "click login and fill the email field" should just work, on any page, every time
• Dogfood relentlessly — you use the API before you ship changes to it

Benefits

• Salary that makes sense — $180,000–$290,000/year, based on impact, not tenure

• Wellness stipend — $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human
• Learning & Development — Expense up to $1,000/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally
• Team offsites — A change of scenery, minus the trust falls
• Sabbatical — 3 paid months off after 4 years, do something fun and new
• Full coverage, no red tape — Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for spouse/kids)
• Life & Disability insurance — Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
• Supplemental options — Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance
