About this role

Firecrawl is hiring for a General Counsel role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • You've run legal somewhere, or been the person who effectively did. GC, deputy GC, or the senior lawyer the founders actually called, at a venture-backed technology company. A first GC seat is fine if you've operated at…
  • You cover the full field. Corporate, financings, and governance on one side; commercial, product, data, and IP on the other. Deep in at least one, credible in all of them, and honest about where you'll lean on outside c…
  • You have a real point of view on web data, AI, and copyright, and you can defend it. You've read the cases, you've watched the licensing market form, and you're not waiting for settled law to take a position

  • Membership in good standing in at least one US state bar, and either California bar membership or eligibility to register as in-house counsel in California. Preferred: a J.D. from a T14 law school or comparable academic…
