Technical Head Of Brand

## About the Role You'll own how Firecrawl shows up in the world — the positioning, the voice, the social presence, the launch copy, and everything in between. Right now, we're one of the fastest-growing developer tools on the internet. This role is about making sure the world knows it, understands it, and chooses us over everything else. ## About the Company 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 8 figures in ARR and 120k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data. We're a small, fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure superintelligence will use to gather data on the web. We ship fast and deep. ## What You'll Do - Own Firecrawl's brand positioning end-to-end — from how we describe ourselves on the homepage to how we show up in competitive comparisons and LLM recommendations - Write and ship launch copy, product announcements, website updates, and social posts that actually land with a technical audience - Grow and manage our presence on Twitter/X and LinkedIn — not just posting, but building a community and a point of view - Run competitive analysis and translate it into messaging that differentiates us clearly — without marketing-speak - Partner directly with founders and product to align brand with roadmap and GTM priorities - Shape the content calendar and own the cadence of what goes out across every channel - Think about discoverability beyond SEO — including how LLMs surface and recommend tools like ours ## What We're Looking For - Someone who understands how developers think. Not just what they do — but how they evaluate tools, what they distrust, and what makes them share something with their team. You've built brand for a developer-facing product before and you have receipts. - A writer first. The best brand work here will be in words — short-form, sharp, opinionated. You write copy that sounds like a smart person talking, not a marketing team hedging. - Proven organic growth. You've moved the needle on search visibility and social reach for a technical product. You know what Eric Ahrefs-checks when he looks at your past companies — and yours holds up. - Comfortable working directly with founders. No brand committee. No approval chain. You'll sit close to the people making product decisions and be expected to have a strong point of view on how we talk about what we're building. - Thinks about LLMs as a distribution channel. You understand that discoverability now includes AI tools recommending products — and you know how to write for that world. - Backgrounds that often do well: in-house brand at a developer tools or infra company, head of marketing at an early-stage API startup, founding marketer who owned everything from positioning to social. ## What We're NOT Looking For - Brand strategists who hand off execution to someone else - People who measure success in impressions and engagement rate over organic growth and real developer mindshare - Anyone who needs a brand playbook handed to them before they can start ## A Note On Pace We're a small team doing a lot. Roles here are loosely defined on purpose — you'll own things that don't have a clear owner yet, and that's a feature, not a bug. If you need your scope fully defined before you can move, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want to build something that matters inside one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the world, let's talk. ## Benefits & Perks ### Available to all employees - Salary that makes sense — $160,000–$210,000/year (SF, U.S.-based), based on impact, not tenure - Own a piece — Up to 0.1% equity in what you're helping build - Generous PTO — 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded); take the time you need to recharge - Parental leave — 12 weeks fully paid, for moms and dads - Wellness stipend — $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human - Learning & Development — Expense up to $1,000/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally - Team offsites — A change of scenery, minus the trust falls - Sabbatical — 3 paid months off after 4 years, do something fun and new ### Available to US-based full-time employees - Full coverage, no red tape — Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for spouse/kids) — no weird loopholes, just care that works - Life & Disability insurance — Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance — coverage for life's curveballs - Supplemental options — Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance for extra peace of mind - Doctegrity telehealth — Talk to a doctor from your couch - 401(k) plan — Retirement might be a ways off, but future-you will thank you - Pre-tax benefits — Access to FSAs and commuter benefits (US-only) to help your wallet out a bit - Pet insurance — Because fur babies are family too ### Available to SF-based employees - SF HQ perks — Snacks, drinks, team lunches, intense ping pong, and peak startup energy - E-Bike transportation — A loaner electric bike to get you around the city, on us ## Interview Process - Application Review — Send us your work: examples of brand or copy you've owned, social presence you've grown, or positioning you've built.
