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: $135,000–$180,000/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.)

Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)
Job Type: Full-Time
Experience: 3+ years in SEO, with real off-page, link-building, or digital PR depth
Visa: 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 147k+ 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 rankings
Grow organic search visibility with developers and technical audiences searching for tools like ours
Build durable, compounding organic growth, not short-term tricks that get clawed back
Stay ahead of how AI-driven search and discovery are changing what works
Measure everything and tie your work to real organic traffic and growth, not vanity metrics
You've driven measurable off-page SEO results, and you can show the rankings and traffic you moved
You know link-building and digital PR that earns real authority, not spammy tactics that get penalized
You understand technical and developer audiences and how they search
You're curious about how AI is reshaping search and eager to figure out what comes next
You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper
Someone whose track record is activity (links placed, content published) rather than real ranking and traffic gains
Anyone who relies on spammy or black-hat tactics that put a brand at risk
Someone who needs a fully-specced brief to start
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.
