Responsibilities
You'll own how the world discovers Firecrawl through search. This is a hands-on, specialist role focused on the off-page side of SEO: building authority, earning high-quality backlinks, running digital PR, and growing our organic visibility with the developers and AI builders searching for what we do. As search itself changes and AI-driven discovery reshapes how people find tools, you'll be at the front of figuring out what actually moves organic growth. You'll report to our Growth Marketing Lead and own real results from day one, not a checklist.Salary Range: $175,000–$212,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your location's cost of living.)Equity Range: Competitive equity — details shared during the process.Location: San Francisco, CA (Preferred) OR Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)Job Type: Full-TimeExperience: 3+ years in SEO, with real off-page, link-building, or digital PR depthVisa: 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.About FirecrawlFirecrawl 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 170k+ 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.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.What You'll DoOwn off-page SEO: authority building, high-quality link acquisition, and digital PR that actually moves rankingsGrow organic search visibility with developers and technical audiences searching for tools like oursBuild durable, compounding organic growth, not short-term tricks that get clawed backStay ahead of how AI-driven search and discovery are changing what worksMeasure everything and tie your work to real organic traffic and growth, not vanity metricsWhat We're Looking ForYou've driven measurable off-page SEO results, and you can show the rankings and traffic you movedYou know link-building and digital PR that earns real authority, not spammy tactics that get penalizedYou understand technical and developer audiences and how they searchYou're curious about how AI is reshaping search and eager to figure out what comes nextYou move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paperWhat We're NOT Looking ForSomeone whose track record is activity (links placed, content published) rather than real ranking and traffic gainsAnyone who relies on spammy or black-hat tactics that put a brand at riskSomeone who needs a fully-specced brief to startA Note On PaceWe operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever.
