A moment with the team worth capturing. Youll find the story come up with the concept shoot it edit it and publish it. Then youll look at how it performed and use that to make the next one better.

Your main focus is fast natural short-form content made for social. Youll work mostly behind the camera directing founders and teammates and bringing your own ideas to life and occasionally help with more polished launch videos. Youll be based with us in San Francisco and travel to capture stories where they happen.

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.

We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 180k 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.

Backgrounds that often do well: in-house video producers at startups or developer tools companies social video leads whove grown a recurring series documentary or news shooters who moved into short-form one-person production teams whove done every job on a shoot.

• Producers who need a crew a studio and a two-week timeline to ship a 60-second video

• Anyone whod rather debate polish than look at what people actually watched finished and shared
