Hacker News 'Who is Hiring' Parser: Remote Tech Jobs (v1.0)

Automatically parse the monthly Hacker News "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" mega-threads (often 800–1,200+ comments) into structured, searchable tech job postings.

Extract company names, job titles, remote work policies, compensation/salary ranges, contact emails, and tech stacks.


⚡ Key Capabilities

  • Algolia API Integration: Discovers the latest official monthly thread published by @whoishiring automatically without manual link configuration.
  • Structured Field Extraction: Parses company names, role titles, and locations from standard HN format strings (Company | Role | Location | Remote | Comp).
  • Remote & Visa Filters: Detects REMOTE, HYBRID, or ONSITE status and visa sponsorship eligibility.
  • Tech Stack Tagging: Identifies languages and frameworks (Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, React, PyTorch, AWS, PostgreSQL).
  • Direct Founder / Hiring Email: Extracts direct application emails and links for candidate outreach.
