What We're Looking For

Someone who understands how developers think. Not just what they do — but how they evaluate tools, what they distrust, and what makes them share something with their team. You've built brand for a developer-facing product before and you have receipts. A writer first. The best brand work here will be in words — short-form, sharp, opinionated. You write copy that sounds like a smart person talking, not a marketing team hedging. Proven organic growth. You've moved the needle on search visibility and social reach for a technical product. You know what Eric Ahrefs-checks when he looks at your past companies — and yours holds up. Comfortable working directly with founders. No brand committee. No approval chain. You'll sit close to the people making product decisions and be expected to have a strong point of view on how we talk about what we're building. Thinks about LLMs as a distribution channel. You understand that discoverability now includes AI tools recommending products — and you know how to write for that world. Backgrounds that often do well: in-house brand at a developer tools or infra company, head of marketing at an early-stage API startup, founding marketer who owned everything from positioning to social. # What We're NOT Looking For

• Brand strategists who hand off execution to someone else
• People who measure success in impressions and engagement rate over organic growth and real developer mindshare
• Anyone who needs a brand playbook handed to them before they can start

A Note On Pace

We're a small team doing a lot. Roles here are loosely defined on purpose — you'll own things that don't have a clear owner yet, and that's a feature, not a bug. If you need your scope fully defined before you can move, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want to build something that matters inside one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the world, let's talk. # Benefits & Perks

Interview Process

Application Review — Send us your work: examples of brand or copy you've owned, social presence you've grown, or positioning you've built. A quick note on why Firecrawl, and what you'd want to change about how we show up today. Intro Chat (~20 min) — Quick alignment call. We'll talk about what you've built, your instincts on developer brand, and what you'd prioritize first. Deep Dive Chat (~45 min) — Walk us through a real example: a time you owned positioning for a technical product and it worked. Then we'll dig into a live scenario — how would you approach differentiating Firecrawl against our closest competitors? Founder Chat (~30 min) — Culture, pace, ownership, and how you like to work. Time for your questions too. Paid Work Trial (1–2 weeks) — Work on a real brand problem: a positioning rewrite, a launch brief, or a social content sprint. We evaluate on taste, sharpness, and speed. Decision — We move fast after the trial.
