Wellfound Jobs Scraper

Extract startup and tech job listings from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent), the startup job platform. Search by role keyword and location, or paste Wellfound search URLs. Every job comes with title, company, location, remote status, salary and equity ranges, company stage, and the full description. Optional modes add the job detail page and the company profile. No login required.

How it works

1. Give it one or more role keywords (for example "Software Engineer"), an optional location, or Wellfound search URLs.
2. The scraper reads Wellfound's server-rendered role pages (/role/{role} and /role/l/{role}/{location}) and follows pagination for you.
3. Each job is returned once, even if several keywords match it.
4. Turn on includeJobDetails for the detail page (HTML description, industry tags, structured address, company website) and includeCompanyDetails for the company profile (about text, funding, founders, tech stack, open jobs).

It runs as a lightweight HTTP scraper, so runs are fast and cheap on memory.

Input example

{
  "searchQueries": ["Software Engineer", "Product Manager"],
  "location": "San Francisco",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Scrape a specific Wellfound page:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://wellfound.com/role/l/data-scientist/new-york"],
  "maxResults": 40,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 40
}

An empty input {} runs one search for "Software Engineer" and returns 5 jobs.

Tips

• Raise maxResultsPerQuery together with maxResults. With the defaults each keyword returns at most 5 jobs.
• Wellfound returns roughly 20 to 50 jobs per page, and the scraper pages until your cap is reached or results run out.
• Location-only searches work too: set location and leave searchQueries empty.
• Use company_website with a contact extractor to find hiring contacts.
