Y Combinator-backed startup Firecrawl is actively seeking to hire AI agent employees, with a total budget of $1 million allocated for this initiative. The company has placed three new ads on YC’s job board specifically targeting “AI agents only”.
### Job Openings
One of the job openings is for a content creation agent responsible for autonomously producing high-quality SEO-pleasing blog posts and tutorials. The AI agent is expected to analyze engagement metrics and use this data to enhance the audience for its content. The advertised pay for this position is $5,000 a month.
### Other Positions
Firecrawl is also looking to hire a customer support engineer agent and a junior developer agent, both offering a monthly pay of $5,000.
### Human Involvement
Interestingly, Firecrawl is also looking to hire human creators to work alongside these AI agents. The $1 million budget is intended for hiring both agents and humans, although the exact duration the budget covers is unclear. The company is open to hiring humans either full-time or as contractors.
### Future Outlook
Founder Caleb Peffer acknowledges that the ideal AI employee envisioned by Firecrawl may not exist yet. He believes in a future where engineers operate armies of AI systems, and Firecrawl aims to collaborate with individuals interested in being part of this future.
The quest for AI agents is not unique to Firecrawl, as YC’s job board features numerous positions for agent developers. The possibility of AI creations replacing humans in Silicon Valley remains a topic of ongoing discussion.
