Devlog · Job Scout

First working daily run

  • Job Scout went from a concept to a working daily run. It reads four open job sources (Himalayas, Remotive, RemoteOK and the Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread) plus the public job boards of a watchlist of companies on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby.
  • Before any code, each source's terms were checked. Only documented APIs and feeds that allow automated reading are used, each is read once a day, and every job links back to its original listing. LinkedIn and Indeed aren't scraped, and the tool never applies to anything.
  • Each run gathers, de-duplicates, filters (remote first, hybrid kept but marked as a fallback, on-site dropped, a pay floor, US-eligible roles only) and scores every job from 0 to 100 with a short reason. Pay and flexibility count most, then AI focus, scope and seniority.
  • The first real run read about 6,000 listings and kept 181 matches, well past the pilot's target of 30.
  • Captured later, on demo data: the ranked list, and a run printing its summary.
