Wellfound Startup Jobs Finder with Pay & Remote Filters

Scrape live startup jobs and startup directory profiles from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent). Search by role, city or remote work, pull structured salary and equity ranges, visa and relocation details, and company signals such as size, stage, YC funding and open roles. Filter everything in one run, monitor new postings with a saved state key, and export clean job and company datasets.

What this actor does

• Jobs and companies: search jobs by role, location or remote, or read startup directory pages for company profiles.
• Rich job records: title, company, locations, remote details, structured salary and equity, description, skills, perks, visa/relocation data and application source.
• Company context: size, stage, high concept, description, badges, YC/growing/actively-hiring/valuation signals, funding, founders, website and social links, industry and open job counts.
• Filter and monitor: posting age, title/keyword, job type, experience, salary/currency, equity, company size/stage, YC, funding, open jobs, visa sponsorship and WFH flexibility; sort by newest or oldest, or emit only IDs not seen before for a saved state key.
• Empty fields are omitted — records only include data Wellfound actually exposes, with no null, empty strings or placeholders.

FAQ

Do I need a Wellfound account or cookies?

No. The actor reads public Wellfound pages without cookies or a login. The login-gated /jobs/search page is not used.

Why are results fewer than maxItems?

Wellfound search pages expose only 1-3 highlighted jobs per startup, so a role/location search reaches roughly 56-82% of Wellfound's claimed total. Use more specific role, location or remote sources, raise pageLimit, or relax filters to widen the pool.

Why is a location sometimes not used in the page path?

Only clean city slugs or city names are put in the path. Free text with commas or unsupported characters falls back to a role-only or /jobs source and is still applied as a filter over the returned locations.

How do salary and equity filters work?

minSalary compares the top of the job's salary range to the floor; maxSalary compares the bottom of the range to the cap. No currency conversion is performed, so a job with a salary in another currency is dropped when salaryCurrency is set. includeNoSalary only covers jobs with no parsed salary. Equity percentages are stored as percentages (0.01 means 0.01%).

Are company profile pages included?

No. Company profile pages (/company/*) return HTTP 403 to anonymous access, so the actor never fetches them. Company data comes from the startup directory and job detail pages.

Why are investor names or the full team missing?

Investor names and the full team are not exposed by Wellfound in structured form. companyTopInvestors is a boolean badge, not a list of names, and companyFounders is limited to founders shown on a job detail page. yearsExperienceMax is likewise never populated; only yearsExperienceMin is available.

Can I get every job at one company?

No. Company pages are unavailable and the startup directory only exposes counts, so the actor cannot enumerate every job at one company. Search pages show a subset of each startup's open roles.

Why are some fields missing from a record?

Wellfound does not expose every field for every job or company. Conditional fields such as skills, founders, funding, socials, perks and equity appear only when the source provides them. Empty fields are omitted and never replaced with null or a placeholder.

Is this affiliated with Wellfound?

No. This is an independent tool that reads Wellfound's public pages and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Wellfound or AngelList.
