Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we’ve hit millions in ARR and 60k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.

Previously, we built Mendable, one of the first commercially available “chat with your data” applications. We sold to companies like MongoDB, Coinbase, Snapchat, and more. To do this, we spent a surprising amount of time building reliable infrastructure for getting clean data from the web. When we started to see our founding friends rebuilding the same thing, we thought we might be on to something.

Designer (Brand + Product)

You'll own and evolve Firecrawl's visual presence — from social and motion to landing pages and occasional product UI. We're happy with our current design direction. This role is about extending it, tightening it, and making the system more consistent, more polished, and more scalable as we ship faster. No coding required. Just beautiful work.

Salary Range: $130,000–$190,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your country's cost of living. You can explore how we calculate this here: https://www.firecrawl.dev/careers/compensation.)

Equity Range: Up to 0.10%

Location: Remote; access to SF HQ if local

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 3+ years in design or equivalent portfolio depth

Visa: US Citizenship/Visa required for SF

About Firecrawl

Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we've hit 8 figures in ARR and 80k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.

We're a small, fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure super-intelligence will use to gather data on the web. We ship fast and deep.

What You'll Do

• Create social content that stops the scroll (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube)

• Design motion graphics/animations for launches, announcements, and campaigns

• Build marketing visuals for blog posts, newsletters, ads, and docs

• Design and iterate on website pages and landing pages (speed + conversion mindset)

• Contribute to product UI when needed (systems-thinking, clean components)

• Maintain and gradually evolve Firecrawl's brand system (not a rebrand)

• Turn complex technical ideas into visuals developers actually want to look at

• Share work early, iterate quickly, and keep stakeholders unblocked with clear async updates

What We're Looking For

Taste that's obvious at a glance. Strong typography, spacing, composition, color — you make "simple" look elite. Your portfolio doesn't need explaining.

Craft and attention to detail. You ship clean work. Alignment is never off, spacing is never "close enough," and you catch what others miss.

Range without quality drops. Social → web → motion → light UI, and the bar stays high across all of them.

Speed without sacrificing polish. You move fast and iterate in the open. You don't disappear into a cave and emerge with a reveal — you share early, take feedback well, and ship.

Figma fluency. Organized, component-minded, clean files. Others can pick up where you left off.

Motion skills. After Effects, Rive, Lottie, or similar — you can make things move in ways that feel intentional, not decorative.

Ownership over ambiguity. You take a loose brief and turn it into a shipped asset. You present options with rationale, not just "which do you like?"

Backgrounds that often do well: Designers at startups or developer-focused companies. People who've shipped across brand, marketing, and product without needing separate teams for each.

What We're NOT Looking For

Pixel-pushers who wait for specs. If you need a detailed brief and redlines before you can start, this isn't your role. You'll often be working from a sentence or a Slack message.

Portfolio-over-output designers. We care about what you ship, how fast, and whether it moves the needle — not whether your case studies have the prettiest transitions.

Brand purists who can't move fast. We love consistency, but not at the cost of speed. If you'd rather debate a color token for a week than ship a good-enough launch asset today, this won't be a fit.

A Note On Pace

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.
