I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs

Hi everyone, I built GrepJob because I got frustrated with the user experience of LinkedIn/Indeed while looking for a new SWE job. Specifically: 1) Not being able to trust the date posted of any job. The date shown on LinkedIn is often the date the job was reposted by the recruiter and 2) Being shown too many irrelevant jobs. For example, I get shown senior/staff level roles when I search for "Software Engineer II" GrepJob solves 1) by populating the date_posted time directly from each company's ATS system And 2) by extracting seniority, specialty (frontend, backend, etc.), and tech stack from each job with LLMs Please let me know if you have any feedback, thanks!
