About Firecrawl

Firecrawl is the web data API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale. Turn any source into clean Markdown or structured data your agents can ship with. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Run full-cycle recruiting on every open role outside the exec team: sourcing, screening, intro chats, scheduling, references, offer packets, and closing Source cold. Build pipelines for hard technical roles (infrastructure, ML, developer tools) without waiting for inbound or an agency to do it for you

What they're looking for

  • You've personally carried 15 to 25 open roles at a startup and closed technical hires: backend, infrastructure, ML, or developer tools. You can talk to an engineer about what they build
  • You source cold and it works. You can show the pipelines you built from nothing
  • You run a fast process without dropping candidates. Quick responses, clean scheduling, honest declines
  • You have opinions about the bar and you'll say so to a hiring manager. You'd rather send three great people than twelve fine ones
  • You're fluent in Ashby (or a comparable ATS) and use AI tools every day, from sourcing to screening to writing
  • You close. You understand comp bands and equity well enough to walk a candidate through an offer, and you know when to bring in the hiring manager or a founder
More about this role

You'll own how Firecrawl hires. Thirty-plus open roles across engineering, research, go-to-market, and G&A, and one person running the funnel end to end: sourcing, screening, running the process, and getting great people to yes. Today that person is our Chief of Staff. Starting now, it's you.

You'll report to the Chief of Staff and work closely with the Deputy Chief of Staff, who runs the operating layer around hiring (tooling, onboarding kickoff, the weekly hiring digest). You'll work directly with hiring managers across the company, and you'll be based with us in San Francisco.

Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with real technical hires closed at a startup

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

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...
