HN Jobs Search & Alerts

Hacker News monthly job posts are hard to search and filter across months. A dedicated search tool with role/location filters and email alerts for matching jobs makes job hunting easier for tech workers. Target: developers, designers, and startup founders job hunting.

HN's "Who's Hiring" threads have been a reliable hiring channel for years, and with ongoing layoffs in tech keeping job seekers active, demand for better tooling around niche job sources is real. No clear incumbent dominates this specific niche, though Kennytv's hnjobs.com and a few similar scraper projects exist as free alternatives that suppress willingness to pay. The $500–2k/mo ceiling reflects that honestly — the audience skews technical and frugal, and anyone who wants this badly enough can build it in a weekend, which is also the biggest risk: the moat is essentially nonexistent, and a free GitHub project or a single HN post from a bored engineer can kneecap a paid product overnight.
