I know there are already a few "Who Is Hiring" aggregators, but I wanted to show off what I've done. My project was cancelled right before Christmas, so this project was a great way to blow off some steam while procrastinating looking for a new job. Tangentially, I am looking for new career opportunities if your company needs a full stack web developer, lol.
This website was completed in about a week and a half. I wanted to present it in a Show HN post on Jan 2 when the usual Who Is Hiring posts were featured, but I didn't think it had enough features to make it useful. Even this version has minimal features, such as adding personal notes and marking jobs as applied.
There's some other features I want to add, specifically advanced filtering capabilities to see new posts since your last visit, hide posts you're not interested in, saving search patterns as custom filters, and adding support for AND/OR logics in search patterns.
The frontend is a reactjs application being served on a basic AWS S3 website with CloudFront in front of it for HTTPS capabilities. The backend API services is a nodejs application running in an AWS Lambda function hooked up to AWS API Gateway. Who is hiring data is refreshed every 15 minutes in a separate Nodejs Lambda function from https://hn.algolia.com/api. The data is saved in an RDS, which is the largest monthly expense. This could be replaced with Aurora Serverless in the future.
Critical feedback for any and all aspects of the project is welcome. If you have feature requests or want to contribute, let me know here or file a GitHub issue.
