šŸƒā€ā™‚ļø Meet Runner H: The AI Agent Tailors, That Finds & Emails Your Top Cloud/DevOps Jobs

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

What I Built


⚔ The Challenge: Simplifying the Cloud/DevOps Job Hunt

How can we streamline job hunting for entry-level Cloud and DevOps rolesā€Šā€”ā€Šwithout burning out?

In today’s hyper-competitive market, even talented professionals are overwhelmed by:

  • šŸ”Ž Endlessly scrolling through LinkedIn, AngelList, and niche job boards

  • šŸ“„ Tailoring resumes to pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

  • āœļø Writing cover letters that sound human and not copy-pasted

  • 🧮 Tracking job applications manually across messy spreadsheets

That’s exactly why Runner H was bornā€Šā€”ā€Što reduce anxiety, automate repetitive tasks, and let you focus on being the best version of yourself.


šŸ› ļø Integrated Apps for a Seamless Experience

To tackle this challenge, Runner H connects directly to the tools you already use:

  • šŸ“§ Gmailā€Šā€”ā€ŠAutomatically sends personalized job lists to your inbox or recruiter

  • šŸ“ Google Driveā€Šā€”ā€ŠStores your resume, PDFs, and project documents securely

  • šŸ“Š Google Sheetsā€Šā€”ā€ŠOrganizes job applications into a structured, shareable format

  • šŸ” Zapier / n8n / Notion / Slackā€Šā€”ā€ŠOptional integrations for full workflow automation

No more switching tabs 20 times a day.

No more missed follow-ups.

No more generic applications.

Runner H turns job hunting into a streamlined, AI-powered workflowā€Šā€”ā€Šgiving you the edge to land the right role faster.

In today’s fast-moving tech world, finding the right Cloud or DevOps job can be overwhelmingā€Šā€”ā€Šespecially if you’re just starting out. That’s why I built Runner H, an AI-powered job-hunting assistant designed to streamline the process from start to finish:

Ā āœ… Search jobs

Ā āœ… Tailor resumes

Ā āœ… Write personalized cover letters

Ā āœ… Help you stand out

🧩 Why I Created Runner H

I noticed a common pattern among peers and community learners:

  • They had great skills but struggled to tailor resumes

  • Job descriptions were too generic, leading to template overload

  • Cover letters felt like copy-paste fillers, not real reflections

That’s where Runner H steps inā€Šā€”ā€Špowered by prompt engineering and real-time search, it becomes your personal agent.


šŸ” Step 1: Search Jobs with SmartĀ Prompts

Runner H first looks for roles matching keywords like:

  • Entry-Level DevOps Engineer

  • Cloud Engineerā€Šā€”ā€ŠRemote

  • Junior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Prompt:

Ā 

Act as my personal job search assistant. I’m looking for entry-level or junior Cloud/DevOps Engineer roles (0–1 year experience) or internships in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering. I have foundational knowledge in AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, Git, and basic scripting (Python/Bash). I’ve completed hands-on projects, courses, and actively contribute to learning communities. Help me find relevant job openings that welcome freshers or early-career professionals on LinkedIn, AngelList, or other platforms. Prioritize roles with learning potential, mentorship, and cloud-native technologies. Also, help tailor my resume and generate personalized cover letters to match each job
