Firecrawl builds web data infrastructure for AI applications. Its core product is an API that puts the web's knowledge on tap, providing reliable web data to power AI systems; it is used by Zapier, Shopify, Replit and thousands of developers worldwide. The company's technical work spans web scraping, web data infrastructure, AI/LLM infrastructure and API development, and is built largely in the open: the project has attracted more than 76,000 GitHub stars.
The team previously built Mendable, an AI chat solution for documentation used by teams at Snapchat, MongoDB and DoorDash. Firecrawl operates in the AI, developer tools, web data and documentation verticals, with a stated mission of making reliable web data accessible to every AI application.
Firecrawl is a small, remote-first team. Engineers and product teams work directly with founders on decisions in a flat structure without layers of management. The company optimises for deep work over facetime, autonomy and clarity over process, and shipping over perfectionism; features go from idea to production in days rather than quarters, and engineers see solutions in production immediately when solving hard problems. Builders who take real ownership and communicate clearly thrive there.
