      <title>We just open-sourced our B2B outbound engine</title>

      <guid>https://dev.to/nick_signore_b1769a9af09f/we-just-open-sourced-our-b2b-outbound-engine-23ah</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We've been running an autonomous B2B outbound engine in production for 30 days. Today we open-sourced the entire thing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What it does:&lt;/strong&gt; Scrapes job boards for companies hiring roles your product or service can replace (the hiring signal = buying intent), verifies the decision maker's email via Hunter, writes a personalized cold email using any of 6 LLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Nemotron, Ollama), and sends it from your own email via SMTP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production results:&lt;/strong&gt; 52.9% open rate on cold B2B email. 10/10 deliverability score on mail-tester.com. ~$0.03 per qualified lead. Total infrastructure cost: $19/day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why we open-sourced it:&lt;/strong&gt; Every outbound tool we found on GitHub was a demo. They scrape a career page, generate an email, and stop. None verify emails. None actually send. None track costs. And none ship a deliverability guide. We hit 6 production failures in 30 days — runaway scrapers that burned $31 in two days, duplicate leads added 9x, zero cost visibility — and built fixes for all of them. The repo documents every failure and every fix.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's included:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3 LLM adapters covering 6 providers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SMTP default sender (no third-party platform needed)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3-layer dedup gate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rate-limited email verification with exponential backoff&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per-run cost tracking with alerts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pre-built configs for 3 verticals (agency, SaaS, staffing)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete 10/10 email deliverability guide (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;46 automated tests&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div class="markdown-heading"&gt;
&lt;h2 class="heading-element"&gt;How It Works&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a company is posting a $70K job listing for a role your product or service can replace — that's a buyer. The Sniper finds them on job boards, verifies the decision maker's email, writes a personalized cold email using any LLM, and sends it from &lt;strong&gt;your&lt;/strong&gt; email address. You wake up to replies.&lt;/p&gt;
