When I filter location to Berlin, it shows three different Berlins in the US - but after selecting the first the results appear to be in Germany (what I was looking for).

Yeah, we noticed that too :( Still working on a fix. We're using Places (https://github.com/algolia/places) and haven't yet found a great way to improve relevance for our use case.

#13This is pretty cool!
Feature request: Allow me to filter by technologies that a company doesn't use.

I second this, I'd love to put e.g. -Java in a search.

#15Nice! This is a really interesting way to approach a job search. I recall a few times in my career when I didn't like the technology choices being made at my current employer, which prompted me to look for new opportunities with the tools I did want to use. There are a ton more things to consider about a new job, but the tools you will be asked to work with every day are certainly a factor. This helps sort it out.
If company is relatively new you can still help it steer into right technologies, so not always it is a deal breaker
Re: Show HN: Stack Match – Find engineering jobs that match your preferred stack
#16A neat followup might be to take the job-search data and then put together a list of which technologies have the highest developer interest. This could be quite useful for companies or projects trying to decide on a tech-stack or tooling.
Even better would be to compare supply vs. demand and come up with a ranking of tech combinations that people want to work with but few companies are using. For example, Rust + Postgres gives one result that's actually hiring. That one company could conceivably get quite a boost to their hiring efforts if there are many developers that want to work with Rust + Postgres, and other companies that pick that tech company would also get a similar boost until it gets oversaturated.

#17I made something similar recently that only works with HN's monthly who is hiring posts. Check it out: https://www.whoishiringpp.com

#19Interesting way to search for jobs. I feel a bit weird though in that I'm drawn to jobs more based on the business domain and problems being solved than the particular technology used for the implementation. Getting asked 'what is your stack' always felt like a weird lead in vs. what problems you are solving day to day, but I feel mostly alone in this sentiment...

You're definitely not alone in thinking that way. I'm similar as long as I don't have to work with something terribly archaic.
