How I Found Jobs I Might Have Missed

I discovered over 6,000 job openings, filtered them to 100 Solidity-related positions, and applied to 20 jobs I hadn’t seen on any regular job boards.

I realized I might be missing opportunities, so I built a small web scraper to search multiple platforms like Greenhouse, Breezy, and Lever. The goal was simple: find jobs that weren’t easy to see and get a full view of the market.

I’m not sharing the code because it was for my personal use, and some sites might restrict automated scraping in their Terms of Service. The point of this article is to show what I achieved, not provide a ready-to-run tool.

Running this project taught me a lot about automation, handling inconsistent data, and overcoming web scraping challenges. A small technical tool made a real difference in my job search.

For a full breakdown of how I built the scraper, the challenges I faced, and the lessons I learned, check out my Medium article here:
