Full Job Description
📋 Description
- • You'll work on the infrastructure that makes Firecrawl fast and reliable against a web that constantly changes and fights back.
- • This is deep systems work: keeping success rates high against sites with aggressive defenses, managing the proxy layer that powers reliable data collection at scale, and pushing throughput and reliability under heavy, spiky load.
- • When Firecrawl 'just works' on a site that tries hard to stop it, that's this team.
- • You'll own real infrastructure from day one, not tickets in a backlog.
- • Build and maintain the infrastructure that powers reliable data collection at scale.
- • Improve success rates against sites with aggressive defenses.
- • Own the health, rotation, and cost efficiency of the proxy layer.
- • Push throughput and reliability under heavy, spiky, real-world load.
- • Debug hard, intermittent failures across the stack and make them stay fixed.
- • You've worked on networking, proxies, or high-throughput backend systems.
- • You're relentless about reliability and comfortable in messy, adversarial problem spaces.
- • You can own a system end to end and keep it healthy in production.
- • You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper.
- • Salary that makes sense — $200,000–$250,000/year, based on impact, not tenure.
- • Own a piece — Up to 0.05% 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.
🎯 Requirements
- • 3+ years in backend, networking, or infrastructure engineering.
- • Must already be authorized to work in the US or our eligible remote-hire regions.
- • Visa: Must already be authorized to work in the US or our eligible remote-hire regions.
