## Description

Firecrawl is looking for a high-agency, product-minded engineer with strong experimental and data instincts to own how agents discover, understand, and use Firecrawl.

You'll ship fast, run rigorous A/B tests, and turn what you learn into a better product , for an audience that isn't human.

This is not a pure research or data science role. We want an engineer who brings scientific rigor to product development: forming hypotheses, running experiments, analyzing results, and shipping better agent experiences. Prior agent experience is valuable, but raw engineering ability, shipping velocity, and learning speed matter most.

**Responsibilities**

- Design and ship A/B tests across agent-facing surfaces , MCPs, CLIs, skills, APIs, documentation , to see how agents actually use Firecrawl

- Turn experiment results into shipped product improvements, fast

- Track emerging agent tools, models, and harnesses (Hermes, OpenClaw, and whatever's next) closely enough to know what they mean for us

- Form hypotheses about how agents discover, interpret, and select tools and capabilities, then test them in production

- Operate independently in a space that doesn't have a playbook yet , own the problem end to end

- Bring scientific rigor to product development without turning it into a research project

**Requirements**

- A track record of shipping high-quality products fast , not prototypes, not decks

- Comfort designing A/B tests, reading behavioral data, and acting on what it tells you

- Familiarity with agent-facing surfaces: MCPs, CLIs, skills, APIs, documentation

- You actively follow emerging AI tools, models, and harnesses , Hermes, OpenClaw, whatever's next

- Genuine curiosity about how agents select tools, interpret capabilities, and interact with products

- High agency , you can operate independently in a space that doesn't have a playbook yet

- Often an ex-founder, early startup engineer, prolific open-source contributor, or someone with impressive public work

**Benefits & Perks**

- Salary that makes sense , $235,000–$260,000/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

**Additional Benefits for US-based full-time employees**

- Full coverage, no red tape , Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for spouse/kids) , no weird loopholes, just care that works

- Life & Disability insurance , Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance , coverage for life's curveballs

- Supplemental options , Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance for extra peace of mind

- Doctegrity telehealth , Talk to a doctor from your couch

- 401(k) plan , Retirement might be a ways off, but future-you will thank you

- Pre-tax benefits , Access to FSAs and commuter benefits (US-only) to help your wallet out a bit

- Pet insurance , Because fur babies are family too
