In-House Technical Writer

at Firecrawl

San Francisco, United StatesHybrid
PythonTypeScript120k

Requirements

  • IN-HOUSE TECHNICAL WRITER You'll own how Firecrawl explains itself to developers — across docs, API reference, SDK guides, quickstarts, tutorials, cookbooks, and the technical content that lives between marketing and engineering.
  • This role sits at the intersection of product and growth: the docs are the product surface developers hit first, and the technical content is how they discover us in the first place.
  • In just a year, we've hit 8 figures in ARR and 120k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.
  • WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the docs end to end: API reference, SDK guides, quickstarts, conceptual explainers, and migration guides.
  • When something ships, the docs ship with it. - Write technical content that pulls developers in: tutorials, cookbooks, integration guides, and long-form pieces that show real use cases with real code. - Read the codebase, talk to engineers, and use the product yourself.
  • The bar is that you understand what you're documenting well enough to catch the things engineers forgot to mention. - Maintain a consistent voice across docs and content.
  • Clear, direct, no fluff, written for a developer who wants to ship something today. - Partner with engineering on release notes, changelogs, and the docs updates that ride alongside new features. - Partner with the growth team on technical content that compounds: SEO-relevant tutorials, comparison guides, and the cookbook entries that show up when someone searches for the problem we solve. - Triage and respond to docs feedback from GitHub, Discord, and support.
  • The docs are a product. They get bugs. You fix them.
  • You don't need to ship production features, but you should be able to read a Python or TypeScript SDK, run an API call, debug your own example, and write a tutorial that works on the first copy-paste.
  • Experience writing for developers.
  • You know what good docs look like (Stripe, Twilio, Vercel, Supabase) and you know why those docs work.
  • Range across docs and content.
  • You can write a tight API reference page and a 2,000-word tutorial in the same week without one bleeding into the other.
  • If you want to write the docs and content behind one of the fastest-growing developer tools on the internet, let's talk.
  • benefits — Access to FSAs and commuter
  • A short note on what you'd want to understand about Firecrawl's current docs before you started.
  • Writing Sample (take-home) — Pick a real Firecrawl feature, read the existing docs, and rewrite one page.
  • Then a live scenario: how would you approach the first 30 days of docs and content work at Firecrawl? Founder Chat (~30 min) — Culture, pace, ownership, and how you like to work.

Additional details

  • You'll work closely with the growth marketing team, who owns growth and content strategy, while you own the writing itself — turning shipped features into clear documentation, and turning real product capabilities into tutorials and cookbooks that show developers what's actually possible.
  • Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call.
  • We're a small, fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure superintelligence will use to gather data on the web.
  • If your code examples don't run, neither does the documentation.
  • You write for the developer who wants to skim, find the snippet, and ship.
  • You notice when an example is technically correct but practically useless.
  • You push back when a feature ships with a confusing name.
  • Comfortable working without a content brief for every piece.
  • The week-to-week — what needs updating, what's missing, what would actually help a developer right now — is yours to figure out and run with.
  • Backgrounds that often do well: technical writers from developer tool or API companies, former developers who moved into writing, DevRel engineers who spent more time writing than speaking, technical content marketers at PLG dev tools.
