Wellfound (AngelList) Jobs Scraper — Startup Jobs & Pay

Scrape startup jobs from Wellfound with pay parsed into numbers, full job descriptions, company size and funding stage, and investor badges.

Most Wellfound scrapers hand back "$150k – $176k" as a string and stop at the job. This returns payMin: 150000, payMax: 176000, payPeriod: "YEAR" — and attaches the company behind the job: how big it is, what stage it's at, whether it's YC-funded, and which ATS it runs.

What you get

Field	Example
title / roleTitle	Senior Software Engineer / Software Engineer
company, companySize	Checkr, SIZE_501_1000
companyStage, companyPitch	Scaling, "background checks using ML"
ycFunded, topInvestors, unicorn	true / true / false
highlyRated, goodWorkLifeBalance	employer-quality badges
activelyHiring, quickResponder	responsiveness signals
compensation	$150k – $176k
payMin, payMax, payPeriod, payCurrency	150000, 176000, YEAR, USD
payIsEquityOnly	true where the offer is equity with no cash
locations, remote, remoteLocations	["Denver","San Francisco"], false
jobType, yearsExperienceMin	full-time, 5
atsSource	greenhouse / lever / ashby
description	the full posting, not a snippet
postedAt, url, jobId	ISO date, direct link, 4639821

Equity is handled properly: "$130k – $210k • 0.05% – 0.2%" yields the cash range, and a listing quoted only in equity is flagged rather than parsed as a salary of 0.05.

Why the company data matters

Every listing carries its employer's stage, size and investor signals, so you can filter to YC-funded companies at Series B hiring senior engineers in one query. atsSource also tells you which applicant tracking system each company runs — a hiring-tooling signal that isn't published anywhere else.

Input

{
  "roles": ["software-engineer", "product-manager"],
  "locations": ["united-states", "remote"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 500
}

Roles and locations are Wellfound slugs — software-engineer, data-scientist, designer; united-states, san-francisco, new-york, remote. Every role is searched in every location.

Use cases

• Startup job aggregation and job boards
• Compensation benchmarking across funding stages
• Tracking which startups are hiring, and for what
• Finding YC-funded or top-investor-backed companies that are actively hiring
• Recruiting pipelines aimed at startups
• Feeding startup hiring data into an LLM or RAG pipeline

Notes

• Reads Wellfound's own search data rather than parsing rendered HTML, so pagination works properly — the /jobs landing feed ignores ?page= entirely and returns the same 50 listings however many pages you ask for
• ~46 jobs per page, roughly 28 pages deep for a broad role+location
• Adjacent pages overlap slightly on a live feed; listings are deduplicated by jobId across pages, roles and locations, so you are never charged twice for the same row
• payMin is null where a listing publishes no salary (roughly 1 in 16)
• atsSource is null where the company posts directly rather than through an ATS
• Public search pages only; no login is used
