Wellfound Startup Jobs Scraper

Collect startup and tech job listings from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) — by role, location, remote, or company — with full job descriptions, pay ranges, equity, company size, funding signals, and hiring badges. No account or login required.

Why use this actor

• No login or account needed — works on public job pages.
• Full job descriptions included — not just titles. Every job comes with its complete description, pay range, and location.
• Rich company context — each job carries the company name, size, one-line pitch, and hiring badges (Actively Hiring, Responds Quickly, Growing Fast, Top Investors, Y Combinator, and more).
• Flexible targeting — search by role, by city/state/country, remote-only, or pull every opening from specific companies.
• Built-in filters — narrow by job type, date posted, and keyword without extra work.
• Stable JSON output — clean, consistent records ready for spreadsheets, databases, or hiring/market dashboards.
• Handles site protection automatically — you don't manage browsers, sessions, or retries.

How it works

1. You choose what to collect: one or more roles (e.g. software-engineer), locations (e.g. new-york, united-states), a remote-only toggle, and/or specific companies.
2. Optionally add filters: job type, date posted, and a keyword.
3. The actor opens the matching Wellfound pages, reads every job on them, and turns the next pages automatically until it reaches your limit.
4. Each job becomes one row in your dataset — downloadable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage proxies-per-page, sessions, or page-turning logic — just press Run. A residential proxy (US recommended) should be enabled, which is the default.

Use cases

• Recruiting & sourcing — build fresh lists of startups hiring for a given role or city.
• Sales & lead gen — find companies that are actively hiring (a growth signal) and reach the right teams.
• Market & talent research — track which roles, pay ranges, and locations are in demand across the startup ecosystem.
• Competitive hiring intelligence — monitor specific companies' open roles over time.
• Job boards & aggregators — feed startup roles into your own product.

Records that fail (e.g. an unknown role/location slug) are returned with an _error field instead of job data, so nothing fails silently.

Notes

• Location is a name, not a country code — use united-states, not US.
• Job type, date posted, and keyword are applied as filters on the collected jobs.
• A startup that has several matching jobs may appear under more than one job row — each job is its own record, de-duplicated by job ID within a query.
