Agent Experience Engineer

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
