Hacker News – Who Is Hiring Structured Job Extractor

Turn the monthly "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" thread into clean, structured, ready-to-use job data. Every month thousands of high-quality tech jobs are posted on Hacker News as free-form comments — great to read, painful to work with. This Actor parses them into columns you can filter, export, and load anywhere.

What you get per job

Why this Actor

  • Reliable — uses the official Hacker News API, not fragile HTML scraping. No blocking, no proxies needed.
  • Structured — content-aware parsing classifies each field by pattern, not brittle column position.
  • Filterable — pull only remote jobs, only jobs mentioning your stack, or only a location.

Use cases

  • Recruiters and job-board operators aggregating fresh, high-quality tech roles
  • Developers tracking who's hiring for their stack, remotely
  • Founders and researchers analysing hiring trends, salaries, and tech demand over time
