Technical Writer at Firecrawl — Remote

# Technical Writer

You'll own how developers learn to use Firecrawl. Great docs are one of the biggest reasons developers pick a tool and stick with it, and for a product that lives or dies by developer experience, this role matters more than most companies realize. You'll write the documentation, guides, tutorials, and references that turn "what does this do?" into "I shipped it in ten minutes." You'll work across engineering and growth, dogfood the product constantly, and treat clarity as a feature. You'll report to our Growth Marketing Lead and own real documentation surface from day one.

Salary Range: $140,000–$185,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your country's cost of living.)

Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 3+ years writing technical documentation for developer-facing or API products

# About Firecrawl

# What You'll Do

• Write and own the documentation, guides, tutorials, and API references developers rely on
• Turn complex, technical functionality into content that gets someone to their first success fast
• Dogfood the product constantly, if the docs are confusing, you felt it first
• Work directly with engineering to document new features accurately and quickly
• Treat docs as a product: measure where developers get stuck and fix it

# What We're Looking For

• You've written technical documentation for a developer-facing or API product, and you can show it
• You write with genuine clarity, you can make something complex feel obvious
• You're technical enough to read code, use an API, and understand what you're documenting
• You care about the developer's experience and sweat the details that make docs actually useful
• You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper

# What We're NOT Looking For

• A writer who can't or won't get technical enough to understand the product
• Someone who writes for the sake of volume rather than developer success
• Someone who needs a fully-specced brief to start

# Interview Process

Application Review — Send us your work and a quick note on why this excites you. Show us documentation you've written, ideally for a developer or API product. We care about the writing, not where you went to school.

Technical Chat (~45 min) — We'll look at a real piece of our product and talk through how you'd document it, or have you show us how you'd take something complex and make it clear. Come ready to think out loud; we care how you reason about clarity, not whether you memorized a style guide.

Paid Work Trial (1-2 weeks) — Write a real piece of Firecrawl documentation with the team — paid at a contractor rate. It's the truest signal for both sides: you see what building at Firecrawl actually feels like, and we see how you work. Remote-friendly, and we'll flex around your current commitments.

If you want to write the docs that make Firecrawl click for every developer who tries it, you should join us.
