Yeah, career pages of early stage to public companies, with focus on software engineering roles.

#4I do like the simplicity of the design, and the filters by type of company.
But I also feel that we're at maximum capacity for aggregated job boards. We see a new one posted on here every week. So even though I like this better than many of the others I've seen, the job board market has exploded to the point of absurdity, so I'm not sure what to make of them all.

Thanks for the feedback, do agree there are too many job boards now. Our goal is to collect data which would be useful from the perspective of engineers: team size, stock option value, etc. We are still in very early stage in the process.

#6Love the design and simplicity of it! Are you using any APIs? I ask because if you can add info on the date it was posted that could be useful information to display as well.

#7Ok. First off I love the name. Fantastic.
Also. I love the clean and simple design.
If there is one tweak I would make I would add a simple badge to the company name like you see here for the 'Developers' tag:

All the best!

Thanks! Not using any APIs, we read from Career pages. Once our processes are more established, we should know when the posting went live, we will start publishing the date soon.

Thanks for the feedback! We got lucky with the name :). Will check into adding a badge.

#10On mobile the homepages animated "an individual contributor role." text overflows with the button placement.
Also when typing in a filter for the location name, the site stutters. This is probably because the JS is trying to filter the whole list on each keypress. You could implement a slight delay before starting a search. I've previously implemented something similar by restarting a timer (clearTimeout + setTimeout) each keypress. Once the setTimeout actually executes (in my case after 200 ms) OR the user hits the enter key, the state is updated and the filter search is performed using the current value of the text input. I've found this to be a great solution for responsiveness.
