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 millions in ARR and 48k+ 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.

Why Firecrawl

Content ownership – Shape how technical audiences discover and understand our product Real impact – Your content strategy directly drives developer adoption and growth High velocity – See your content go from idea to published to ranking in days, not months Small team, big ambition – Work directly with founders and engineers who understand content's value

You'll research what developers are searching for, plan content that answers their questions, and coordinate our content machine while being ready to write technical content yourself when needed.

Technical SEO Implementation
