Job Summary

Drive Firecrawl’s brand for a technical audience by owning positioning, launch copy, and multi-channel growth to differentiate in developer tools.

  • Own brand positioning end-to-end and align with product roadmap with founders.
  • Write concise, opinionated copy for launches, product updates, and social channels.
  • Differentiate Firecrawl through targeted multi-channel growth and competitive messaging.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own Firecrawl's brand positioning end-to-end — from how we describe ourselves on the homepage to how we show up in competitive comparisons and LLM recommendations
  • Write and ship launch copy, product announcements, website updates, and social posts that actually land with a technical audience
  • Grow and manage our presence on Twitter/X and LinkedIn — not just posting, but building a community and a point of view
  • Run competitive analysis and translate it into messaging that differentiates us clearly — without marketing-speak
  • Partner directly with founders and product to align brand with roadmap and GTM priorities
  • Shape the content calendar and own the cadence of what goes out across every channel
  • Think about discoverability beyond SEO — including how LLMs surface and recommend tools like ours

Requirements

  • 4+ years owning brand at a developer-facing or technical product company
  • A writer first. The best brand work here will be in words — short-form, sharp, opinionated. You write copy that sounds like a smart person talking, not a marketing team hedging.
  • Proven organic growth. You've moved the needle on search visibility and social reach for a technical product. You know what Eric Ahrefs-checks when he looks at your past companies — and yours holds up.
  • Comfortable working directly with founders. No brand committee. No approval chain. You'll sit close to the people making product decisions and be expected to have a strong point of view on how we talk about what we&aposre building.
  • Backgrounds that often do well: in-house brand at a developer tools or infra company, head of marketing at an early-stage API startup, founding marketer who owned everything from positioning to social
  • Thinks about LLMs as a distribution channel. You understand that discoverability now includes AI tools recommending products — and you know how to write for that world.
  • Visa: US Citizenship/Visa required
  • Experience: 4+ years owning brand at a developer-facing or technical product company
