Senior Field Engagement ManagerYou'll own Deployment's side of the rooms Firecrawl shows up in: the private dinners for the labs and companies we want to work with, the conferences where our buyers already are, and the hackathons and workshops where developers run the API for the first time. Operations runs the events. You run what they're for: you decide which accounts need to be in which room, get them there, hold your own technically once they arrive, and turn the conversations into qualified pipeline the pods can close. This is a pipeline seat that runs on events, not an events seat that reports on attendance. If you've done field marketing or developer relations, this is that job on the Deployment team, with a revenue scoreboard. You'll report to our VP of Deployment, and you're measured on the opportunities credited to you from the rooms you work, not on how many people showed up.
Salary Range: $174,000 to $235,000 USD/year OTE
Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.
Location: San Francisco, CA (SF HQ). On-site when you're not in the field. Travel up to 50 percent for events, with evenings when the room calls for it.
Job Type: Full-Time
Experience: 5+ years in roles that put you in rooms with developers (field or developer marketing, developer relations, community, solutions, or a technical seat with a pull toward the commercial side), or a body of work that makes the case. Either way, you can call an API and show someone what it did
Work Authorization: Open to candidates already authorized to work in the US. We also support H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT and STEM OPT, TN (Canada and Mexico), and E-3 (Australia). We're not able to sponsor new H-1B visas for candidates outside the US.
What You'll DoBring the Accounts to the CalendarEach quarter, hand Operations the rooms Deployment needs: the ICPs and target accounts each one reaches, the format that fits them (a dinner, a workshop, a meeting block at a conference, a hackathon), and the credited-opportunity target behind it. Operations owns the calendar, the budget, and the production. You make the case for the rooms with pipeline math, and you work the ones they run.
Before an invitation goes out, every revenue room has a target list, a success metric, a teammate who owns the follow-up, and a conversion plan.
Curate the RoomBuild the guest lists for the revenue rooms from the ICP map, the pods' target accounts, and the signup base, using the AI-assembled customer dossiers and the warehouse to find the right people, not just the right logos.
Run the invitation outreach in Firecrawl's voice through our outbound stack, and get replies to a yes. Hand Operations the list for registration and seating, and brief the teammates who'll be in the room on who's coming, what they're building, and why they matter.
Be Technical at the TableDemo the API live: one request, one page, clean Markdown or structured data, in front of a researcher or a CTO. Run hands-on blocks at workshops and hackathons that take a developer from first Scrape to first Search.
Answer the first layer of technical questions yourself (JavaScript rendering, anti-bot, output formats, MCP) and know when to pull in an engineer.
Turn the Room into PipelineRun the pre, during, and post-event loop with the pods: account targeting before, introductions during, and follow-up within 48 hours after. Every conversation lands as a contact and an activity in the warehouse.
Hand each qualified deal to the FDE of the pod whose ICP the account is in, and stay on the thread until the FDE owns it. Operations owns the venue, the vendors, and the run of show. You own Deployment's side: who's in the room and what happens after.
Measure and Feed the PlaybookReport every revenue room on attendee quality, credited opportunities, pipeline created, and cost per credited opportunity. Run the pipeline half of the retro with Operations and change the next ask.
Write Deployment's half of the events playbook (guest curation, the pre and post loop, follow-through, measurement) into the playbook Operations keeps, and work with Product Marketing and Developer Experience on the talks and content that make a room worth attending.
How You're MeasuredCredited opportunities from the rooms you work: a deal you sourced that the FDE of the account's pod took as owner. That handoff is the quality gate. Behind it: the pipeline and signings those deals produce, and what each credited opportunity cost to create. Not badge scans, not attendance.
Who You AreTechnically Fluent. You can read code, call the API, and show a developer what one request did to a page. You don't need to have been an engineer, but you need to be credible in a room full of them, and you need to want to learn the product to the level where you can demo it cold. Developer relations, developer marketing, a solutions seat, or a technical seat at an API-based company are all ways people get here.
You've Filled Rooms with Developers. Meetups, hackathons, dinners, workshops, a talk track at a conference: you've run them, not just attended them, and you can show what happened after.
Pipeline-Minded. You think of an event as a list of accounts with a plan, not a date on a calendar. You know what a qualified opportunity is and you're comfortable being measured on the ones the pods credit to you.
AI-Native. You use AI tools daily as core work infrastructure. Our GTM stack assembles customer dossiers, activity timelines, and usage data; you'll use them to research accounts, write invitations, and brief the room faster than anyone expects.
Taste, and Programs Others Can Run. You know the difference between a room that works and one that doesn't, and you notice which one you're in before the guests do. You've also turned a one-off that worked into a recurring program with a playbook someone else could run. That's the path from this seat to leading the function.
Urgency and Follow-Through. Same-day follow-up. The event ends when the last conversation is in the warehouse with a next step, not when the last guest leaves.
Clear Communicator. Invitations people answer, briefs teammates read, and a talk you'd sit through yourself.
Backgrounds That Often Do Well- Developer advocates who want a revenue scoreboard for the rooms they already fill.
- Field or developer marketers from API-first or infrastructure companies who are done counting badge scans.
- Community managers who built a recurring series developers kept coming back to.
- Technical founders who ran their own dinner circuit and conference calendar to sell.
- Solutions engineers and sales engineers who were always the one at the booth.
What We're NOT Looking ForSomeone who wants to run the events program. Operations owns events end to end: the calendar, the production, and the orchestration across teams. You own Deployment's side of every room: who, why, and what happens after.
Badge-scan marketers. If your success metric is leads collected rather than opportunities credited, this isn't the fit.
Non-technical hosts. Rapport gets people to dinner. Relevance and technical credibility get them to a second meeting.
People who need a finished playbook. We're building the field program as we go. If you need an account list, a runbook, and a quarter already planned before you can start, you'll stall here.
Bonus Points- You've worked at an API-first or developer infrastructure company and marketed to engineers.
- You've done developer relations or advocacy and have talks, workshops, or a hackathon you ran end to end to show for it.
- You have a network in the SF AI and developer scene: labs, accelerators, meetup organizers, the people who decide who speaks where.
- You've built or run web scraping, crawling, or RAG pipelines and can talk about JavaScript rendering, anti-bot, and Markdown for LLMs from experience.
- You've used Firecrawl, or reached it through Claude Code, Cursor, or n8n.
- You're comfortable with Luma, Missive, SmartLead, Slack, and reading a SQL query against a warehouse.
- You've written a talk abstract that got accepted, or a workshop that sold out.
