About the role

  • IN-HOUSE COUNSEL You'll be Firecrawl's first full-time in-house lawyer, owning legal across the business as we scale.
  • It's a hybrid role: as much time with our engineers on how we source and serve data as with the commercial teams on the paper.
  • You'll report to our Head of Finance and Legal and work closely with the founders, owning real surface area from day one.

Responsibilities

  • Own the legal side of our partnership and content licensing deals, structuring them so risk lands in the right place
  • Build the legal infrastructure - templates, playbooks, and processes - that lets a small team move fast
  • We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever.
  • Day to day, you'll partner with our revenue teams - redlining customer contracts, MSAs, and DPAs, and moving deals forward quickly without letting risk pile up in the wrong places.
  • You'll also own one of the most important and least-settled areas of law in our space: how the web's data can be sourced, licensed, and served.
  • One API call converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data - the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved.
  • We have 147k+ GitHub stars, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day.
  • Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves - no hiding behind process or headcount.
  • 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 - the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved.
  • We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 147k+ GitHub stars, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare, and we're just getting started.

Requirements

  • You know the web scraping / public data legal terrain cold, or you're hungry to go deep on it fast
  • You're as comfortable in a conversation with engineers about how data flows as you are redlining a contract
  • You can structure a deal so the risk sits where it should, across copyright, data access, and privacy
  • Visa: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. We're not able to sponsor visas right now, though that may change down the line.
  • Visa: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

Compensation

  • $225,000-$265,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside SF and the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your cost of living.)
  • Salary that makes sense - $220,000-$265,000/year, based on impact, not tenure

Benefits

  • Own a piece - Gain competitive equity in what you're helping build
  • Generous PTO - 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded); take the time you need to recharge
  • Parental leave - 12 weeks fully paid, for all parents
  • Wellness stipend - $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human
  • Learning & Development - Expense up to $1,000/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally
  • Full coverage, no red tape - Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for spouse/kids) - no weird loopholes, just care that works
  • Life & Disability insurance - Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance - coverage for life's curveballs
  • Supplemental options - Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance for extra peace of mind

Company info

  • Structure customer contracts (MSAs and Order Forms) so risk lands in the right place across copyright, data access, and privacy - and so we can serve different types of data to different customers safely

Visa & Work Authorization

  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
  • We're not able to sponsor visas right now, though that may change down the line.
