An AI searches for jobs while I sleep
He wrote down what he is looking for in a criteria file and an AI on his VPS does the searching 3 to 5 times a week. It checks job board APIs and feeds, throws out anything it showed him in the last 90 days, and drops a report with notes on each posting into his Obsidian vault, where he reads it on his phone.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- Agent reads his criteria files
- Searches We Work Remotely feeds, Post Status, JSearch and Adzuna
- Postings seen in the last 90 days are removed
- A markdown report with a table and notes on each posting is written to his Obsidian vault and synced to his phone
Why it’s worth knowing
The value is not one clever search. It shows up 3 to 5 times a week, remembers 90 days of postings, and the report is just there on his phone.
