Firecrawl ships fast, and right now our visuals can't keep up. We're looking for a designer with real taste who builds their own AI systems to make great launch work fast. You'll work side by side with Rhys, our Creative Lead, on every launch we ship. Together you'll build Alloy, the AI workspace where our brand and creative tools live. Your work will be the first thing millions of developers see from us. Salary Range: $196,000–$220,000 USD/year Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process. Location: San Francisco, CA (SF HQ). In office 3+ days a week. Job Type: Full-time Experience: 5+ years Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States. We support candidates already in the US who need a transfer or existing status (H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT/STEM OPT), plus TN and E-3. We’re not able to start new H-1B sponsorship for candidates outside the US.
Firecrawl is the easiest way to turn the web into data AI agents can use. One API call converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data. It's the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved. In September 2026, we raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital, and we're spending it building the largest repository of knowledge in the world. We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 192k+ GitHub stars, putting us in the top 40 repositories of all time, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare, and we're just getting started. We're a small team punching far above our weight. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves. No hiding behind process or headcount. This is a place for people who want to work at the frontier: an AI company building the infrastructure other AI companies run on, not one bolting AI onto an existing product. We move fast, go deep, and are building the tools superintelligence will rely on to gather data from the web. That library is called Alexandria, and it starts now.
Two things matter most.
Beyond those, we look for a few more things.
Backgrounds that often do well include a motion or brand designer at an AI or devtools startup who owns launches end to end, and a designer or creative technologist who has built their own creative tools with AI.
We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings, but this role probably isn't for you.
Application Review: Send us a launch video you made, plus a look at the system you built to make it. That could be tools, agents, prompts or a whole workflow. Tell us what you personally owned. Intro Chat (~25 min): A quick intro with Eric, our co-founder and CGO. Tell us about the video and the system behind it, and bring your questions. Creative Deep Dive (~60 min): Meet Rhys and Eric. Walk us through one launch end to end, including the concept, the calls you made and what you'd change. Then we'll give you a live prompt on how you'd take one of our recent launches further. Come ready to think out loud, since we care more about how you reason than a rehearsed answer. Paid Work Trial (~40 Hours): Make a real launch video with Rhys and the team using your own systems and Alloy. Leave whatever you built for it in Alloy so the next launch goes faster. It's paid at a contractor rate and remote-friendly, and we'll flex around your current commitments. We evaluate on taste, speed and whether we'd ship it. Decision: We move fast after the trial. If you want to define how one of the fastest-growing developer tools on the internet looks and moves, and you’d rather make the work than talk about it, this is your shot. 👉 Apply now.
