🚀 Wellfound Jobs Scraper

🚀 Pull startup jobs from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent). Title, company, role, location. Camoufox + residential proxy bypasses DataDome.

The Wellfound Jobs Scraper visits Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) using a Camoufox browser with residential proxy and returns startup jobs with job ID, title, company, location, salary, equity, remote type, and apply URL when surfaced. Multi-search-URL fanout reaches 100+ jobs across roles like engineer, PM, designer, and marketing.

Wellfound hosts more than 150,000 startups, making it the canonical job board for early-stage and high-growth tech roles. The site is gated by DataDome anti-bot. This Actor handles the bypass via warmup and DataDome iframe click, then walks multiple search URLs to aggregate job listings across roles.

📋 What the Wellfound Jobs Scraper does

Three filtering workflows in a single run:

• 💼 Multi-URL fanout. Submit an array of Wellfound search URLs and the Actor visits each.
• 🛡️ DataDome bypass. Camoufox plus residential proxy plus Google warmup gets past the anti-bot challenge.
• 📜 Scroll for more. Per-page scrolling loads beyond the initial visible cards.

Each row reports the job ID (URL slug), full job URL, slug-decoded title, and any company, location, salary, or remote-type fields surfaced in the card markup.

💡 Why it matters: Wellfound is the early-stage tech job board. VCs, recruiters, and analysts use it to see who is hiring at high-growth startups. The site is hard to scrape directly because of DataDome. This Actor handles the bypass and the multi-URL fanout so you skip both the anti-bot work and the per-role URL juggling.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: company, jobId, location, remote, salary, scrapedAt, title, url. All 8 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: the Actor uses Camoufox headless: virtual with US residential proxy. DataDome occasionally serves a hard captcha; in that case the Actor retries with a fresh proxy. Cold-start is around 30 seconds for the first profile, then 10-15 seconds per additional search URL.
