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. We crossed 19k GitHub stars in just 6 months and have had paying customers since day one.
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.
Firecrawl is the easiest way for developers to gather LLM-ready data from the web. We’re growing uncomfortably fast and are looking for an ambitious, resourceful, and organized individual to join us as a Founding Fullstack Engineer. This role is perfect for someone who loves startups, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and loves working on deeply challenging web automation developer experience and LLM engineering problems.
