Product Engineer - Agent
You'll build the products developers and AI agents reach for when they need to take action on the web, not just read it. This is hands-on product engineering at the core of where Firecrawl is going: shipping the agent features that let LLMs navigate, decide, and act across the open web, owning them from idea to production, and obsessing over the details that make an API a joy to build on. You'll ship real product from day one, not tickets in a backlog.
Salary Range: $235,000–$260,000 USD/year (SF) / $217,000–$233,000 CAD/year (Toronto)

Location
San Francisco, CA (SF HQ) or Toronto, ON (Toronto Hub). Hybrid, onsite 3+ days a week.
Job Type: Full-Time
Experience: 3+ years building and shipping developer-facing product
Work Authorization: Open to candidates already authorized to work in the US or Canada. In the US, we also support H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT and STEM OPT, TN (Canada and Mexico), and E-3 (Australia). We’re not able to sponsor new H-1B visas for candidates outside the US. For Canada, we’ll consider work permit sponsorship case by case through our Toronto Hub.
What You'll Do
Build and ship developer-facing agent features from idea to production
Own the reliability and quality of agent behavior against a live, unpredictable web that constantly changes and fights back
Turn hard, ambiguous problems (multi-step navigation, action reliability, recovery from failure, keeping agents on task) into clean APIs developers love to use
Work directly with the engineering team on the roadmap and the tradeoffs behind it
Dogfood the product, read the GitHub issues, and let real developer pain drive what you build
What We're Looking For
You've built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used
You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency, output schema, docs, the whole feel of it
You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features
You move fast and close the loop. You'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper
What We're NOT Looking For
Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start
A strong backend engineer who's indifferent to how the product feels to use
Someone who optimizes for process over shipping
