Partnerships Lead Alexandria

Firecrawl is looking for a builder-shaped partnerships lead to grow the provider network behind Alexandria the knowledge library we launched last week alongside our $75M Series B. Alexandria gives AI agents one way to discover sources see what they hold and retrieve from them: official data providers publishers research and government indexes and the live web. The people who supply that knowledge get paid based on agent demand. Your job is to make that network the deepest most trusted set of sources any agent can reach.

This is not a channel-partnerships or reseller seat. Youll find the providers agents need get them to yes structure the deal and carry them through to a live catalog listing that agents actually call. Youll spend as much time inside our docs MCP and catalog as you do on calls.

Salary Range: $220000$249000 USD/year

Equity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.

Location: Location: San Francisco CA (SF HQ). Hybrid onsite 3 days a week.

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 6 years

Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States. Were not able to sponsor US visas right now though that may change down the line.

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. Its the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits solved.

In September 2026 we raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital and were spending it building the largest repository of knowledge in the world. We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 183k GitHub stars putting us in the top 50 repositories of all time and developers agents and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare and were just getting started.

Were a small team punching far above our weight working out of SF HQ and our new Toronto Hub. 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. That library is called Alexandria and it starts now.

• Own the provider pipeline end to end: map the sources agents need by category (finance government research code commerce real estate and whatevers next) prioritize by agent demand and go get them

• Source pitch and close data providers publishers research organizations and first-party sources from cold outreach to signed agreement

• Structure the deals: licensing terms pricing per call revenue share attribution and usage rights working with our legal team on paper without waiting on them to move

• Carry every signed provider through onboarding to a live catalog listing working with the Alexandria engineering team on inputs response shape pricing and terms acceptance

• Build the playbook for the self-serve contributor program so individuals and organizations can join without a call

• Feed what providers say back into the product: which capabilities agents want where the catalog has gaps and what makes a source worth paying for

• Track the data-licensing and agent-tooling market closely enough to know where the next hundred sources come from

• 6 years in partnerships business development or content and data licensing with deals you personally sourced negotiated and signed

• Experience on at least one side of a data content or API marketplace: licensing data in distributing it out or building the supply side of a two-sided network

• Technical enough to read API docs run our MCP inspect a providers endpoints and explain to an engineer why a listing is wrong

• You write terms not just relationships: comfortable drafting first-pass commercial terms and knowing which points to fight for

• A pipeline operator: you run outreach at volume keep a real CRM and can show the numbers on what converted and what didnt

• AI-native in how you work. Agents and coding tools are part of your daily toolkit not something youve read about

• High agency. You can build a function from zero in a market that doesnt have a playbook yet

• Often an ex-founder early BD hire at a devtools or data company or someone who built a marketplaces supply side from scratch

• Channel reseller or alliance managers from enterprise SaaS. This is supply-side deal work not co-marketing

• Relationship-only BD who cant open a terminal or read an API reference

• Someone who needs legal to write every term before they can talk price

• Corp dev or M&A profiles. Were signing hundreds of providers not acquiring one

• Someone who has only managed inbound partners and never built a pipeline cold

• Someone excited by AI in theory who hasnt actually used agents to do their job

We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what were building wont stay open forever. If that excites you keep reading. If it doesnt no hard feelings but this role probably isnt for you.

• Salary that makes sense: $220000$249000 USD/year adjusted fairly for location based on impact not tenure

• Learning & Development: Expense up to $1000 USD/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally

• Sabbatical: 3 paid months off after 4 years do something fun and new

• Full coverage no red tape: Medical dental and vision (100% for employees 50% for partner and kids). No weird loopholes just care that works

Application Review: Send us your resume and two or three deals you personally sourced and closed with what you owned in each. We care about what youve actually signed not where you went to school.

Intro Chat (25 min): A quick conversation to get to know each other before we go deep. Well talk about what youve been working on what drew you to Firecrawl and what youre looking for in your next role. Time for your questions too.

Partnerships Deep Dive (45 min): Walk us through a deal you built from cold outreach to signature including the terms you fought for and the one you gave up. Then a live scenario: which providers would you go after first for Alexandria and how would you get them to yes We care how you reason and prioritize not whether you know the right answer going in.

Founder Chat (25 min): Culture pace ownership and how you like to work. Time for your questions too.

Paid Work Trial (40 Hours): Build a real target provider map run real outreach and bring at least one provider to terms with the team paid at a contractor rate. Its the truest signal for both sides. You see what building at Firecrawl actually feels like and we see how you operate.

Decision: We move fast after the trial.

If you want to build the library every AI agent reads from one provider at a time you should join us.
