About the role
In-House Counsel Role
You'll be Firecrawl's first full-time in-house lawyer, owning legal across the business as we scale. Day to day, you'll partner with our revenue teams - redlining customer contracts, MSAs, and DPAs, and moving deals forward quickly without letting risk pile up in the wrong places. You'll also own one of the most important and least-settled areas of law in our space: how the web's data can be sourced, licensed, and served. That means real fluency in the legal landscape of web scraping and public data - crawling practices, robots.txt, terms of service, and the case law around access - and structuring agreements so risk lands where it should across copyright, data access, and privacy. It's a hybrid role: as much time with our engineers on how we source and serve data as with the commercial teams on the paper. You'll report to our Head of Finance and Legal and work closely with the founders, owning real surface area from day one.
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 - 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 Do
- Structure customer contracts (MSAs and Order Forms) so risk lands in the right place across copyright, data access, and privacy — and so we can serve different types of data to different customers safely
