Support Engineer

Support Engineer

Were looking for a hands-on Support Engineer to make sure our customers succeed with Firecrawl and to build the systems that let a small team support a fast-growing customer base. Youll diagnose complex API issues help developers through integrations and give our most important customers answers they can trust. Youll also be the one who notices the same problem keeps coming up and automates it away using AI triage internal tools agents or whatever the simplest fix turns out to be.

Youll be the technical bridge between our users and the product. That means using good judgment about what matters most sharing what you learn with the rest of the team and owning your work end to end.

Salary Range: $193000$218000 USD/year (SF) / $166000$200000 CAD/year (Toronto)

Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.

Location: San Francisco CA (SF HQ) or Toronto ON (Toronto Hub). Hybrid onsite 3 days a week.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 3 years

Work Authorization: Open to candidates already authorized to work in the US or the US we also support H-1B transfers F-1 OPT and STEM OPT TN (Canada and Mexico) and E-3 (Australia). Were not able to sponsor new H-1B visas for candidates outside the US. For Canada well consider work permit sponsorship case by case through our Toronto Hub.

About Firecrawl

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. Its the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits solved.

In September 2026 we raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital and were spending it building the largest repository of knowledge in the world. We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 187k GitHub stars putting us in the top 40 repositories of all time and developers agents and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare and were just getting started.

Were a small team punching far above our weight. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company end to end and runs it themselves. No hiding behind process or headcount.

This is a place for people who want to work at the frontier: an AI company building the infrastructure other AI companies run on not one bolting AI onto an existing product. We move fast go deep and are building the tools superintelligence will rely on to gather data from the web. That library is called Alexandria and it starts now.

What Youll Do

• Be the first line of technical support across our channels with a focus on high-value and enterprise accounts

• Diagnose API errors failed scrapes and crawls blocked sites authentication problems rate limits and unexpected output. Go as deep as you need to and bring in Engineering when it makes sense

• Reproduce issues escalate confirmed bugs with clear repro steps and full context and follow up with the customer until its resolved

• Review customer workflows and integration plans and suggest simple changes that make them more reliable and easier to maintain

• Triage a busy queue across Slack email and chat. Decide whats urgent what can wait and which issues need a human instead of our AI agents without losing momentum

• Understand what the customer is actually trying to do not just the question they asked then weigh a quick workaround against a docs fix or a product change

• Advocate for customers with Product and Engineering using what you see in the queue to shape which bug fixes and API improvements get prioritized

• Treat every repeated question or manual step as a chance to automate: AI triage drafted replies smart routing account and usage enrichment and at-risk account alerts

• Build lightweight internal tools (debugging scripts dashboards agents) simple enough and good enough that others actually use them

• Keep our AI support agents sharp: improve their knowledge sources review where they go wrong and decide what stays with humans

• Write the troubleshooting guides runbooks and docs fixes that help customers and our agents find answers without opening a ticket

• Coordinate handoffs across the support team and time zones and share what youre seeing and building with Engineering Product and Growth

What Were Looking For

• Youre product-minded. You have good instincts for what customers need and what matters most and you make good calls on priorities and tradeoffs without being told

• Youre a pragmatic engineer with strong fundamentals in APIs and debugging and you write TypeScript or Python. You reach for the simplest solution that works not the most impressive one

• You enjoy talking to customers. You explain technical ideas clearly ask good diagnostic questions and know when a customer needs a careful personal answer instead of an AI-drafted one

• Youre automation-first. Youve built an automation or internal tool that removed real manual work and you measure yourself by the leverage you create not the number of tickets you close

• Youre AI-native. You already use Claude Cursor agents and MCP servers in your daily work and you think in workflows and tooling not just tickets

• Youre autonomous. You spot problems decide on a plan and see it through

• You can move between a customer escalation a bug repro and an automation project in the same afternoon and nothing gets dropped

• Youre a good teammate. You share context openly make handoffs easy and make the people around you more effective

• Bonus if youve worked in a technical customer-facing role (support engineer solutions engineer developer support implementation specialist or CSE) or supported APIs SDKs or other developer tools

• Bonus if you understand web scraping browsers proxies or how the web works under the hood have built with Firecrawl or a similar web data platform or have shipped LLM-powered workflows in production

What Were NOT Looking For

• A ticket closer. If you measure success by volume instead of leverage this isnt the role

• An engineer whod rather not talk to customers

• Someone who reaches for the impressive build when a docs fix would do

• Someone whos cautious about working with AI and agents day to day

A Note On Pace

We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what were building wont stay open forever. If that excites you keep reading. If it doesnt no hard feelings but this role probably isnt for you.
