Lead AI infrastructure development at Firecrawl, enhancing efficiency and scaling agent deployment. Engage in fast-paced, impactful tech projects within a dynamic team environment.
Responsibilities
You'll own the internal AI infrastructure that makes our team unreasonably fast.
Building, evaluating vendors, and continuously evolving the AI systems our team runs on — with the goal of maximizing every person's clock speed and scaling our ability to deploy agents across the business.
Requirements
5+ years or equivalent shipped systems
A technical practitioner, not a theorist. You understand how models actually work — not just API calls, but attention, context windows, inference tradeoffs, tool use patterns. You read papers. But your first instinct is always to build, not to theorize. You've shipped real systems that automate real work.
Someone with battle-tested opinions on AI-assisted development. You've pushed vibe coding techniques far enough to know where they break. You have strong, experience-driven opinions about what works and what doesn't — grounded in first principles, not hype. You know when to let the model drive and when to take the wheel.
An automation obsessive. You've already automated your own life to a degree that others find somewhat unhinged. You see manual processes the way most people see bugs — something that shouldn't exist and won't for long.
Someone who understands the bitter lesson. You know where the highest-leverage opportunities are because you understand which problems get solved by scale and which don't. You allocate your energy accordingly.
$10k+/month token budget (will increase with demonstrated impact).
