Skills
Must have
- Technical recruiting experience: You’ve closed technical hires at a startup (backend, infrastructure, ML, or developer tools) and can talk to an engineer about what they build.
- Partner management: You’ve worked with agencies or sourcing partners and made them better. You can give feedback that changes what they send.
- A real bar: You have opinions about who’s great and you’ll say so to a hiring manager. You’d rather send three great people than twelve fine ones.
- Operational rigor: You run many roles at once without dropping candidates or partners.
- AI-native: 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.
- Great with people: Candidates remember how you made them feel. You’re as comfortable working a room at a hackathon as you are running a screen.
- Range: You’re happy to run a check-in table, haul supplies, or pick up an ops project. Nothing’s beneath the job.

In-House Technical Recruiter
You’ll own how Firecrawl hires. Thirty-plus open roles across engineering, research, go-to-market, and G&A, run through a mix of AI recruiting partners, agencies, sourcing tools, and our own outreach. Your job is to run all of it as one system: brief every partner, hold the bar, keep candidates moving, and make sure the right people get to yes. Today the Chief of Staff does this. Starting now, it’s you.
You’ll report to the Chief of Staff and sit on the operations team. You’ll work closely with the Deputy Chief of Staff, who runs the operating layer around hiring (tooling, onboarding kickoff, the weekly hiring digest), and directly with hiring managers across the company. Beyond hiring, you’ll be our recruiter on the ground at Firecrawl After Dark and our hackathons, and you’ll help run events wherever we host them. You’ll be based with us in San Francisco or Toronto, with travel for events.
Salary Range: $160,000–$179,000 USD/year (SF) / $81,000–$88,000 USD/year (Toronto)
Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.
Location:Location: San Francisco, CA (SF HQ) or Toronto, ON (Toronto Hub). Hybrid, in office 3+ days a week.
Job Type: Full-Time
Experience: 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with technical hires closed at a startup
Work Authorization: Open to candidates already authorized to work in the US or Canada. In the US, we also support H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT and STEM OPT, TN (Canada and Mexico), and E-3 (Australia), but we’re not able to sponsor new H-1B visas for candidates outside the US. For Canada, we’ll consider sponsorship on a case-by-case basis through our Toronto Hub.
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, working out of SF HQ and our new Toronto Hub. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves. No hiding behind process or headcount.
