Software Engineer Jobs: Live Developer Job Search

Search software engineer jobs and developer jobs at 824 tech, AI, startup and remote-first companies, by title, place, remote work, seniority, salary and posted date. The jobs are read live from each company's career page when you run it, so every result is open today. You pay $1.00 per 1,000 matching jobs you receive on Apify's Starter plan ($2.50 per 1,000 on the Free plan, less on Scale and Business), with no platform usage fees. Companies with no matching job cost nothing. No API key or login.

Try it now: click Start. The form is filled in for software engineer and developer jobs posted in the last 7 days at the 311 tech companies, at most 20 jobs, so the first run costs about $0.05 on the Free plan. To get more, raise Max matching jobs, up to 10,000.

What you get

One row per matching job: title, company, department, location with city and country, remote or hybrid, employment type, seniority, job function, salary when the company publishes it, posted date and the link to apply.

Put the stack in Description includes, such as Go, Rust or Kubernetes, and the level in Seniority. A tool also matches its other names, so Postgres finds PostgreSQL.

Example run

On 27 September 2026 I ran the Actor on its form at the time: software engineer and developer jobs posted in the last 7 days, the 311 tech companies, at most 200 jobs. It took 2 minutes 43 seconds, searched 311 of 311 companies and returned the 200 newest of 350 matching jobs, from 73 companies. The status message said: "Raise maxResults to receive more of the 350 matching jobs." 204 companies had no matching job and cost nothing. On the Free plan, 200 jobs cost 200 x $0.0025 = $0.50.

Four rows from that run, shortened:

Title	Company	Location	Workplace	Salary	Posted
Senior Software Engineer, Coding	Handshake	San Francisco, CA	onsite	208,000 to 260,000 USD a year	2026-09-26
Staff Software Engineer, GI	Hinge Health	San Francisco-HQ	hybrid	197,000 to 296,000 USD a year	2026-09-26
Staff Software Engineer - Postgres Control Plane	Snowflake	US-WA-Bellevue	not given	236,000 to 339,250 USD a year	2026-09-26
Software Engineer, Manufacturing Infrastructure	SpaceX	Starbase, TX	not given	not published	2026-09-26

Not every company publishes every field. In that run about half of the rows had a salary (52%), about three in four had a seniority (74%) and about one in three had a workplace type (34%). A field a company does not publish comes back as null, so filter on salary or workplace only when you need it.

Which companies

Five ready-made lists of 824 companies: AI companies, Tech companies, Remote-first companies, Tech companies hiring in Europe, and Startups. A company in two lists is read once. The lists are refreshed monthly.

How to search

• Title includes: words such as engineer, designer or product manager.
• Description includes: words the job description must name, such as Rust or machine learning.
• Location: a city, a country or a region, Only remote jobs for remote roles, and Remote regions for where remote work is allowed.
• Seniority, Job function and Employment type narrow the results further.
• Posted since: a date or a period such as 7 days.
• Max matching jobs: the most jobs one run returns, at most 10,000. It caps the price of the run.

You receive the newest matching jobs first, from all the companies searched.

Input example

This is the input the form is filled in with when you open the Actor, as JSON. Paste it into the JSON tab of the input, or send it as the run input through the API. Fields you leave out keep their defaults.

A run can also return status rows for companies with no job to return, and company rows when you set Rows to return to companies or both. The Output tab shows every field.

Pricing

Pay per event:

• matching-job: $0.001 per matching job you receive on Apify's Starter plan, so $1.00 per 1,000. It is $0.90 per 1,000 on the Scale plan, $0.80 per 1,000 on Business and $2.50 per 1,000 on the Free plan.

A run that finds nothing costs nothing beyond the platform's start event. When your spending limit is reached, the run stops and you receive only the jobs you paid for.

Daily alerts

Turn on Only new jobs, save your search as a task and schedule it daily. Each later run returns only matching jobs you have not received before. Paste a Slack, Discord or Teams incoming webhook link, or a Make, Zapier or n8n webhook, in Alert webhook URL to get a message on days with new jobs. The alert is free.

Use it from code

Run it with the Apify API or client for Python or JavaScript, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server. The input is the same JSON as the form.

FAQ

Can I search one language or framework?

Yes. Put it in Description includes. Each matching job then comes with its description.

How is this different from a job board?

A job board shows the jobs that employers post on it. This Actor reads the career pages of 824 companies live when you run it, so every result is open today. It covers only those companies. You pay $1.00 per 1,000 matching jobs on the Starter plan.

How fresh are the jobs?

They are read when you run it. Jobs closed since then are gone from the next run. Use Posted since for recent jobs only.
