About Firecrawl
Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we’ve hit millions in ARR and 50k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.
Previously, we built Mendable, one of the first commercially available “chat with your data” applications. We sold to companies like MongoDB, Coinbase, Snapchat, and more. To do this, we spent a surprising amount of time building reliable infrastructure for getting clean data from the web. When we started to see our founding friends rebuilding the same thing, we thought we might be on to something.
Why Firecrawl
- Technical ownership – Lead critical browser technology and infrastructure
- Real impact – Directly shape how our browser stack drives our entire product
- High velocity – Rapid iteration and deployment of your work
- Small team, big ambition – Collaborate closely with founders, influencing key decisions and future directions
About the Role
In just a year, we've hit millions in ARR and 50k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data. We're a small, fast-moving team building essential tools for the AI era. We value autonomy, clarity, and shipping fast.
We are looking for a hands-on technical customer success engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and client engagement. You’ll help our customers unlock the full potential of our platform, drive adoption, and expand usage—while building scalable processes for long-term growth.
What You'll Do
Drive Proactive Customer Growth

- Run Structured Meetings: Conduct regular business reviews and health checks, following specific scripts to understand customer needs, expansion opportunities, and potential blockers
- Build Adoption Playbooks: Create systematic approaches to drive feature adoption and usage expansion across your accounts
- Scale Success Playbooks: Create repeatable processes for customer engagement—from initial outreach templates to meeting frameworks
Support Technical Implementation & Onboarding
- Guide Technical Setup: Lead customers through implementation, helping them build their first workflows and integrate Firecrawl into their stack
- Be the Trusted Advisor: Understand each customer's technical architecture and become their go-to resource for maximizing value

Build Data-Driven Insights

- Track Revenue Impact: Connect customer feedback directly to revenue opportunities and growth metrics

- Customer-Driven: You excel at consultative selling and building trusted advisor relationships. You can ask the right questions and explain technical ideas clearly
- Data-Minded: You think in metrics, health scores, and adoption rates. You want to know usage patterns, conversion rates, and revenue impact
- Scrappy & Fast: You don't wait for perfect processes—you create momentum. You know when to ship a Loom, jump into Discord, or write a script to unblock someone
- Pattern Seeker: You naturally see repeat issues, common requests, and potential product improvements. You document everything and bring insights back to the team
- Cross-Functional Collaborator: You work seamlessly with Product, Engineering, and Growth teams to drive customer outcomes
