We're looking for a designer with real taste who builds their own AI systems to make great launch work fast. You'll work side by side with Rhys, our Creative Lead, on every launch we ship. Together you'll build Alloy, the AI workspace where our brand and creative tools live. Your work will be the first thing millions of developers see from us.\nSalary Range: $196,000-$220,000 USD/year\nEquity Range: Competitive equity. Details shared during the process.\nLocation: San Francisco, CA (SF HQ). In office 3+ days a week.\nJob Type: Full-time\nExperience: 5+ years\nWork Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States. We support candidates already in the US who need a transfer or existing status (H-1B transfers, F-1 OPT/STEM OPT), plus TN and E-3. We’re not able to start new H-1B sponsorship for candidates outside the US.\nAbout Firecrawl\nFirecrawl 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. It's the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved.\nIn September 2026, we raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital, and we're 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 187k+ GitHub stars, putting us in the top 40 repositories of all time, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare, and we're just getting started.\nWe're a small team punching far above our weight. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves. No hiding behind process or headcount.\nThis 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.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and animate launch videos and social assets for a constant launch cadence, so visuals are never the thing slowing a launch down.\n\nConcept launches with Rhys from the first idea, and push back when a brief is wrong.\n\nBuild the systems that make this fast. When something takes too long by hand, you build the tool, agent workflow or reusable primitive that fixes it and add it to Alloy.\n\nShape our brand system in Alloy, from type and color to motion and the rules that make it feel like us.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nTwo things matter most.\nTaste you can see in a launch video. You've made at least one launch video we'd love, with AI or without it, and you can show us exactly what you owned.\n\nSystems you built to make it fast. You build your own tools and workflows with AI so you can make great work really quickly. You don't need an engineering background.\n\nBeyond those, we look for a few more things.\nYou make the call. There's no committee or approval chain. You'll work directly with Rhys and Eric, and you're expected to push back and own the outcome.\n\nNice to have. Range across formats like posters and illustration, and After Effects fluency.\n\nBackgrounds that often do well include a motion or brand designer at an AI or devtools startup who owns launches end to end, and a designer or creative technologist who has built their own creative tools with AI.\nWhat We're NOT Looking For\nEngineers who design on the side. Design is the job.\n\nStatic-only portfolios. Motion is core to the job.\n\nAnyone who needs a long brief and a long timeline to do great work.\n\nA Note On Pace\nWe operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings, but this role probably isn't for you.\nBenefits & Perks\nAvailable to all employees\nSalary that makes sense: $196,000-$220,000 USD/year, based on impact, not tenure\n\nOwn a piece: Gain competitive equity in what you're helping build\n\nGenerous PTO: 15 days mandatory, anything after 24 days, just ask (holidays excluded). Take the time you need to recharge\n\nParental leave: 12 weeks fully paid, for all parents\n\nWellness stipend: $100 USD/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human\n\nLearning & Development: Expense up to $1,000 USD/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally\n\nTeam offsites: A change of scenery, minus the trust falls\n\nSabbatical: 3 paid months off after 4 years, do something fun and new\n\nAvailable to US-based full-time employees\nFull coverage, no red tape: Medical, dental, and vision (100% for employees, 50% for partner and kids). No weird loopholes, just care that works\n\nLife & Disability insurance: Employer-paid basic life and AD&D, short-term disability, and long-term disability. Coverage for life's curveballs\n\nVirtual care and a health guide: Teladoc for the couch doctor visit, plus Rightway to answer coverage questions and fight billing errors for you\n\nMental health: Talkspace, therapy and psychiatry on your schedule\n\nFertility and family building: Carrot, covering you and your partner\n\nEAP: Free confidential counseling, legal and financial consults, and online will prep through Guardian\n\n401(k) plan: Retirement might be a ways off, but future-you will thank you\n\nPre-tax benefits: HSA, FSA, and commuter benefits to help your wallet out a bit\n\nSupplemental options: Extra life and AD&D, accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, plus pet, legal, and identity protection through MetLife\n\nAvailable to SF-based employees\nSF HQ perks: Snacks, drinks, team lunches, intense ping pong, and peak startup energy\n\nE-Bike transportation: A loaner electric bike to get you around the city, on us\n\nInterview Process\nApplication Review: Send us a launch video you made, plus a look at the system you built to make it. That could be tools, agents, prompts or a whole workflow. Tell us what you personally owned.\nIntro Chat (~25 min): A quick intro with Eric, our co-founder and CGO. Tell us about the video and the system behind it, and bring your questions.\nCreative Deep Dive (~60 min): Meet Rhys and Eric. Walk us through one launch end to end, including the concept, the calls you made and what you'd change. Then we'll give you a live prompt on how you'd take one of our recent launches further. Come ready to think out loud, since we care more about how you reason than a rehearsed answer.\nPaid Work Trial (~40 Hours): Make a real launch video with Rhys and the team using your own systems and Alloy. Leave whatever you built for it in Alloy so the next launch goes faster. It's paid at a contractor rate and remote-friendly, and we'll flex around your current commitments. We evaluate on taste, speed and whether we'd ship it.\nDecision: We move fast after the trial.\nIf you want to define how one of the fastest-growing developer tools on the internet looks and moves, and you’d rather make the work than talk about it, this is your shot.\nApply now.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7145,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Providers & Datasets","AI Agents","AI Development Tools","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T05:14:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/firecrawl-brand-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/firecrawl-brand-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T09:12:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13969,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2391},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2391"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffirecrawl-brand-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffirecrawl-brand-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffirecrawl-brand-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/firecrawl-brand-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffirecrawl-brand-designer"}]}
