Chief Financial Officer

Firecrawl is hiring its first CFO. The role sits inside the product: pricing is usage-based, cost of goods moves with the web, and the gap between the two is the company's most important number. The company recently closed a $75M Series B, launched its second product Alexandria, and is nearly doubling the team. The CFO will build a finance function for the next stage, including accounting and controls, FP&A, tax and treasury, billing and revenue recognition, capital strategy, and board relationships, while working directly with the CEO and founders. Interview process: application review, intro chat (~25 min), case chat (~45 min), paid modeling exercise (~3 hours), founder chats (~30 min each), and references.
