Senior Growth Engineer

Backend Developer • On-site • Full-time • 📍 San Francisco

Firecrawl is looking for a full-stack engineer fully dedicated to growth, owning the signup, activation, onboarding and conversion experience end to end, measured by the funnel metrics moved rather than just features shipped.

Responsibilities

  • Own the growth surfaces end to end: signup, activation, onboarding, and conversion
  • Instrument the funnel, run experiments, and ship changes that move real metrics
  • Build full-stack, from the frontend developers first touch to the backend powering it
  • Treat conversion and activation as your own metric, owning, measuring and moving it
  • Form hypotheses, test them, and iterate quickly based on data

Requirements

  • 5+ years as a full-stack engineer, with growth/PLG experience and metrics you personally owned
  • A proven track record of owning and moving a conversion, activation or funnel metric
  • A scientific mindset: hypothesis, experiment, measure, iterate, with real A/B test experience
  • Experience working on developer-facing products (SDKs, playgrounds, docs, APIs)
  • A track record of staying with your work long enough to see it through
  • Must already be authorized to work in the US or the company's eligible remote-hire regions (no visa sponsorship currently)

Nice to have

  • Experience shipping in-product growth surfaces at a dev-tools or SaaS company (onboarding, activation, upgrade flows)
  • Experience with the team's stack (Next.js, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, Vercel, PostgreSQL, Anthropic Claude API) or building production LLM systems (prompt engineering, tool use, inference pipelines)

What we offer

  • Competitive salary: $230,000–$275,000/year (SF-based range, adjusted for cost of living elsewhere)
  • Up to 0.05% equity
  • Generous PTO: 15 mandatory days, flexible beyond that (up to 24 days)
  • 12 weeks fully paid parental leave for all parents
  • $100/month wellness stipend
  • $1,000/year learning & development budget

About the company

Firecrawl is the easiest way to turn the web into data AI agents can use: one API call converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data. The company hit 8-figure ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two, has 147k+ GitHub stars, and runs as a small team where everyone owns a real piece of the product end to end.
