Remote & Tech Jobs Aggregator (4-in-1 Open Feeds)

An automated Apify Actor that aggregates, filters, deduplicates, and normalizes tech and developer jobs from 4 curated, official public developer feeds:

• RemoteOK (Global remote engineering and tech roles)
• Jobicy (Specialized remote tech, design, and product positions)
• Arbeitnow (European & international tech roles; filtered for remote by default)
• Hacker News Jobs (Official Y Combinator and early-stage startup jobs via public Firebase API)

---

Features

• Curated Multi-Board Ingestion: Ingests from 4 official public feeds simultaneously with zero headless browser overhead.
• Cross-Board Deduplication: Detects cross-posted jobs across boards using company | title keys; the freshest listing is kept and other sources are noted in alsoListedOn.
• USD Salary Standardization: Normalizes compensation into annual USD (EUR, GBP, CAD, etc. converted using baseline FX and flagged approximate).
• Remote-First Filtering: remoteOnly defaults to true to ensure high relevancy for remote job seekers and scrapers.
• Strict Compliance & Attribution: Every job record includes canonical source, sourceUrl, and an applyUrl pointing directly to the original posting.
