The Problem
Job hunting for early-career roles—specifically at high-growth Y Combinator startups—is incredibly fragmented and tedious. Candidates often have to manually visit dozens of individual company job boards daily to check for new "Intern," "New Grad," or "Junior" openings. This manual process is time-consuming, prone to missing opportunities, and makes it difficult to track which roles have already been applied to.
The Solution
The YC-Go-JobScraper automates the entire discovery and tracking pipeline. It uses a high-performance Go-based scraper to pull real-time data directly from the Greenhouse API for a curated list of YC companies. Automation: It runs daily via GitHub Actions, ensuring listings are always up-to-date without manual intervention. Intelligent Filtering: It automatically tags and categorizes roles by seniority level, allowing users to filter specifically for early-career positions. Centralized Tracking: It provides a secure, authenticated dashboard where users can mark jobs as "Applied," preventing duplicate efforts and organizing the search process in one central location.
