## The posting

General Counsel
Firecrawl · San Francisco, CA

# General Counsel

You'll run legal at Firecrawl, all of it. Strategy, risk posture, policy, the team, and the outside firms. Every question about what we can crawl, license, build, sign, and ship comes to you first, and the founders will treat your read as the read.

Firecrawl sits on some of the least settled legal ground in technology. The rules for web data access, AI training data, copyright, and who owns machine-generated output are being written right now: in courtrooms, in regulators' offices, and in the deals companies like ours sign every week. Our General Counsel doesn't wait for that to settle. You'll set Firecrawl's positions, defend them to customers, counterparties, and regulators, and, where it counts, help shape where the law lands.

You'll report to our CEO, lead and finish building the legal team (commercial and product counsel, a technical compliance program lead shared with our CTO, and legal operations), own outside counsel and the legal budget, and sit next to the founders on financings, board matters, and every decision with a legal edge, which at Firecrawl is most of them.

**Salary Range:** $310,000–$392,000 USD/year

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

**Location:**San Francisco, CA (SF HQ) or Toronto, ON (Toronto Hub). Hybrid, onsite 3+ days a week.

**Job Type:** Full-Time

**Experience:** 12+ years of legal experience, including time running or helping run legal in-house at a venture-backed technology company

**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.

# **About Firecrawl**

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.

# **Our Values**

- **Bias to action:** We move fast, ship hard, and don’t wait to be told.
- **Realistic about AI:** We’re clear-eyed about what AI can and can’t do, and we keep pushing to use it where it actually works.
- **All in:** The next few years matter a lot, and we’re all in for them.
- **Human connection:** As intelligence gets cheaper, relationships with customers, partners, and each other matter more.
