About

What you get

One row per job post: company, role, location, whether it's remote, salary and visa sponsorship when the post mentions them, technologies named in the post, links, the full post text, the posting time and a link to the post on Hacker News.

How to use it

Leave the month empty for the latest thread, or enter a month like 2026-10. Optionally keep only posts that mention certain words or places, or only remote jobs.

Good to know

  • Company, role, location and salary are read from each post's text. Posts follow a loose format, so some of these fields can be empty.
  • Only the job posts are included, not the replies to them.
  • Usernames aren't included. Post text can contain contact details; handle them according to privacy law.
  • Runs use your own Selextract credit.
