## Description

You'll build the cloud infrastructure that turns the open web into data , the platform beneath Firecrawl's crawling, scraping, and search products.

We need engineers who can make that foundation , Kubernetes, storage, networking, deployments , fast, reliable, and cheap at web scale.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design, build, and operate GCP and on-prem infrastructure behind Firecrawl's products

- Run large stateful and high-throughput workloads on Kubernetes , search clusters, crawling fleets, queues, and databases , with zero-downtime upgrades

- Own CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automations, and containerized deployments across the platform

- Drive down infrastructure cost per request while traffic and data volume grow

- Build the observability that keeps latency, throughput, and reliability predictable and define the SLIs, SLOs, and customer-facing SLAs we hold ourselves to.

- Build and support our enterprise controls , SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, tenant isolation, private networking, and the infrastructure behind SOC 2 and customer security reviews

- Work directly with product and search engineers to productionize new services, retrieval, and ML workloads

- Own the incident lifecycle with engineers , from on-call and triage process to postmortems and resolution.

**Requirements:**

- You've operated stateful distributed systems on Kubernetes at real scale , not just stateless services

- You have deep experience with a major cloud (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure), Docker, and Terraform; MLOps or ML-serving infrastructure experience (GPU workloads, model deployment pipelines) is a plus

- You've run large-scale, data-heavy systems in production , search platforms, crawling or ingestion pipelines, or comparable. Hands-on experience operating Vespa is a strong plus.

- You care about latency, cost, and reliability in equal measure

- Experience with security and compliance infrastructure (SSO/SAML, audit logging, network isolation, SOC 2) is a strong plus , especially for the Core Platform focus

- You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped infrastructure

**Benefits & Perks:**

- Salary that makes sense , $240,000–$275,000/year, based on impact, not tenure

- Own a piece , Gain competitive equity in what you're helping build

- Generous PTO , 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded); take the time you need to recharge

- Parental leave , 12 weeks fully paid, for all parents

- 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
