Hey everyone! I wanted to share a side project I've been working on.

The idea came from my own frustration — every job board either requires an account, hides listings behind a paywall, or inserts recruiters between you and the employer. I just wanted to see real jobs and apply directly.

So I built Aurat.AI Jobs — a search engine that pulls listings from 100+ ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, ICIMS, Ashby, etc.) into a single interface.

How it works:

• I maintain a data pipeline that syncs job listings from a parquet source into MotherDuck (DuckDB cloud hosting) with hash-based delta detection
• The frontend is Next.js 16 + React 19 with Tailwind CSS
• Each listing links directly to the employer's own career page — no middlemen
• Stale/filled positions get cleaned up automatically on each daily sync
• There's also a free API endpoint at /data.json if anyone wants to build on top of it

What I learned:

• Normalizing job data across 100+ different ATS formats is... an adventure. Greenhouse and Lever structure things very differently.
• DuckDB is shockingly fast for this kind of analytical workload. MotherDuck's hosted version made deployment painless.
• Building filters that feel fast at 2.6M+ rows required some thought on the DB side — pre-computed counts, smart indexing, etc.

Current state: 2.6M+ active listings, updated daily. Free, no account needed.

Would love feedback on what's missing or what would make this more useful. I'm also launching on Product Hunt soon — if you want to support, the page is here: https://www.producthunt.com/products/job-listing

Thanks for reading!

Job hunting lately feels broken.

You open a job → redirect
Another one → expired
Another one → sign up/paywall

I got tired of it, so I built something for myself:

👉 https://job-listing.aurat.ai/

It pulls jobs directly from 20+ ATS platforms (like Greenhouse, Lever, etc.), so listings are actually real and updated.

Right now it has:
• 40,000+ jobs
• 3,000+ companies
• synced every 8 hours
• full job descriptions
• direct apply links (no redirects)
• no paywalls

You can also filter pretty deeply (company, role, etc.) which helped me cut through a lot of noise.

Still early, but I’m using it daily now.

Would genuinely love feedback — what’s the most annoying part of job searching for you?
