      <Title>Forward Deployment Engineer (Developer Success)</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>You&#39;ll work directly with customers to deploy Firecrawl in real-world environments, unblock integrations, and turn customer needs into repeatable solutions and product improvements. This is a highly hands-on, customer-facing engineering role — ideal for someone who likes solving complex problems live and shipping pragmatic solutions fast.  <strong>Salary Range:</strong> $150,000–$250,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your country&#39;s cost of living.)  <strong>Equity Range:</strong> Up to 0.10%  <strong>Location:</strong> San Francisco, CA (Hybrid) OR Remote  <strong>Job Type:</strong> Full-Time (SF) OR Contract (Remote)  <strong>Experience:</strong> 3+ years or equivalent shipped systems  <strong>Visa:</strong> US Citizenship/Visa required for SF; N/A for Remote  You&#39;ll work directly with customers to deploy, customize, and troubleshoot Firecrawl in production environments. You&#39;ll own technical delivery for priority accounts, from first integration through ongoing optimization. You&#39;ll debug complex real-world issues involving APIs, crawling, data pipelines, and infra constraints. You&#39;ll build reusable solutions, templates, and playbooks based on customer needs. You&#39;ll translate customer feedback into clear product and engineering insights. You&#39;ll collaborate closely with core engineers to improve reliability, performance, and usability. You&#39;ll help define best practices for how Firecrawl is implemented at scale.  <strong>A strong engineer who likes being close to customers.</strong> You have solid fundamentals — APIs, systems, debugging — and you&#39;re comfortable explaining technical concepts clearly to people who aren&#39;t engineers. You&#39;d rather hop on a call and unblock someone than file a ticket and wait.  <strong>Calm and effective in ambiguity.</strong> You don&#39;t need a runbook for every situation. You diagnose fast, communicate clearly, and make good decisions with incomplete information.  <strong>Biased toward action.</strong> You unblock first, optimize later. You ship pragmatic solutions over perfect abstractions and know when &quot;good enough now&quot; beats &quot;ideal next quarter.&quot;  <strong>Comfortable in a small, high-trust team.</strong> You don&#39;t need layers of process. You work directly with founders and core engineers, own your domain, and move fast.  <strong>Backgrounds that often do well:</strong> Solutions engineers, SREs, devrel engineers, or customer-facing infra roles. Engineers at startups who wore multiple hats. Ex-founders who&#39;ve debugged customer problems at 2am because the customer mattered.  <strong>Benefits &amp; Perks</strong>  <em>   <strong>Salary that makes sense</strong> — $170,000–215,000/year (SF, U.S.-based), based on impact, not tenure </em>   <strong>Own a piece</strong> — Up to 0.20% equity in what you&#39;re helping build <em>   <strong>Generous PTO</strong> — 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded); take the time you need to recharge </em>   <strong>Parental leave</strong> — 12 weeks fully paid, for moms and dads <em>   <strong>Wellness stipend</strong> — $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human </em>   <strong>Learning &amp; Development</strong> — Expense up to $1000/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally <em>   <strong>Team offsites</strong> — A change of scenery, minus the trust falls </em>   <strong>Sabbatical</strong> — 3 paid months off after 4 years, do something fun and new  <strong>Interview Process</strong>  1.  <strong>Application Review</strong> – Send us your stuff + a quick note on why this excites you (plus links to things you&#39;ve built or deployed). 2.  <strong>Technical + Customer Scenario Interview (~45 min)</strong> – Real-world problem solving: we&#39;ll walk through a customer deployment scenario and see how you debug, communicate, and prioritize live. We&#39;re looking for engineering depth and customer instincts — not trivia. 3.  <strong>Founder Chat (~30 min)</strong> – Culture, pace, ownership, and how you like to work. Time for your questions too. 4.  <strong>Paid Work Trial (1–2 weeks)</strong> – Test drive the real thing: work on a real customer deployment or integration with measurable impact. 5.  <strong>Decision</strong> – We move fast after the trial.</p>
