Original Job Description

The Role: Technical Discovery Lead

At Firecrawl, you won’t be managing JIRA tickets or writing lengthy reports; you’ll be on the front lines of the AI data revolution. Your mission is to conduct high-velocity customer discovery—speaking with dozens of developers weekly to identify the specific features that will turn a successful tool into a dominant infrastructure platform. You are the bridge between complex developer workflows and the core product roadmap, translating raw user pain into actionable technical strategy.

Tech Stack & Vibe Coding Integration

Firecrawl is the engine that feeds LLMs, converting the web into structured, markdown-ready data. This role is tailor-made for those who embrace modern development workflows:

Rapid Prototyping: Use AI-assisted coding tools (like Cursor or Claude) to build quick proofs-of-concept that demonstrate new API capabilities to users.

LLM Infrastructure: Deep dive into RAG pipelines, web scraping architectures, and developer SDKs.

Technical Synthesis: Turn deep conversations with ML engineers into precise product specs that prioritize high-impact AI data features.

Growth & Impact

You’ll join a lean, high-urgency team that has already achieved massive scale in the developer community. This isn’t just about research—it’s about owning the ‘0-to-1’ phase for new product surfaces. You have the autonomy to build a discovery function from scratch, influencing the trajectory of a company that is essentially building the web-browser for future superintelligence.
