Show HN: Job board aggregator for best paying remote SWE jobs in the U.S.

https://www.remoteswe.fyi
55•xitang•8h ago
I’ve been a remote SWE since the pandemic and truly appreciate its flexibilities and time saved from not commuting. Lately, friends and close ones have been asking me for advice on finding remote roles. I shared my remote company spreadsheet with them, but realized it was a rather manual process to scroll and refresh each company’s career page for new postings.

So I put together a centralized job board aggregator that lists the best paying SWE jobs in one place, starting with the U.S. and 14 companies. The way it works is via a cron job that runs daily in the afternoon to pull the latest job postings from each company and updates the website with the new listings.

Some other key features are

1. Quickly see which companies are actively hiring, e.g. Coinbase currently has the most openings

2. Filter by years of experience or companies to find suitable matches

3. Easily see estimated salary and posted date

If you're also on the hunt for the next remote SWE role, I hope this site helps streamline your job search and would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. Thanks!

Can you please make one for India or any place where Indians or other third world countries with large populations can find work too. I'm sure you can serve up this as a premium service in India with some 40 companies and ppl will be happy to pay you an yearly subscription of 1000 rupees (slightly more than 10$) for 50 searches
xitang•5h ago
Thanks for your suggestion! I haven't looked into non-US countries yet, but that is a helpful pointer given India is the most populous country in the world now. I will keep this in mind. Are you based in India? How is the remote landscape there?
Guestmodinfo•4h ago
Yes I am an Indian and based in India. Everyone loves remote work here though ppl go to offices also but we are extremely family oriented ppl and tied to our ancestral properties. So remote is awesome. I have even more suggestions that for 2 months you can offer your services as an introductory offer at 1000 rupees and then after two months when enough ppl have joined you can switch it up to 20k rupees especially for the 0-2 years experience bracket because lots of computer science students looking for placements. Just please include more n more companies for that bracket.
xitang•4h ago
Thanks, this is very helpful context. Totally agree that remote is awesome for folks who like to spend more time with family. Are there any other job sites or tools that you have used for job search or you mainly have to look at each company's career page?

More and more US companies are expanding globally to places like India, Canada and Europe, so there will be more opportunities oversea.

Guestmodinfo•4h ago
I have personally used LinkedIn and naukri.com but linked serves too much job spam. I'm applying to same companies again n again and no way to remove the job postings i don't like. Linkdin is a job spammer i feel. Naukri.com I haven't used for ages. I like your job aggregator because I can go to each company through your portal and then keep track where all I have applied to. Just don't become a job spammer. Be you. I'm an online tutor looking to transition to SWE or maybe getting more tutoring roles and I see urbanpro.com which is a student aggregator for tutors offers their services at 10k rupees that's why I feel that 20k rupees anyone can give if you only offer more n more companies willing to pay in rupees and 0-2 years of experience.

I have sent your aggregator to one SWE friend who has recently gotten a job and always seeks remote work. He said he feels underqualified for all the job postings. So if you can include jobs that don't have such daunting expectations then you can mint a lot of money in India

xitang•4h ago
Thanks for sharing your insights on what you like and don't like about these job boards. Sorry to hear about the frustrations you have to go through. I wish you best of luck and hope you will land your dream position soon.

In the US, some companies (e.g. Pinterest, Dropbox) offer apprentice programs for folks looking to break into tech from non-tech background, not sure if there are equivalents in India. While I can't speak to the situation in India, in the US at least, for folks don't have much SWE job experience, they can also gain experiences via side projects or unpaid internship in smaller company and use it as a stepping stone to build their resume and increase their odds on landing a paid role.

Please remove the unnecessary animation that locked up a tab here for several seconds.
xitang•3h ago
Thanks for the feedback. I think the lag might have been mainly due to the page loading and rendering 400+ job rows at once and is not related to the animation, though there might also be some hydration issues with the animation. Agree that the lag isn't good UX, I will look into getting it fixed soon.

Aside from the lag, I was hoping folks might appreciate the artistic of the animations where companies are resolving around a remote coding home :)

winrid•3h ago
How come scrolling the table lags on my $700 phone?

You can render tens of thousands of rows at once without lag, something is wrong.

xitang•2h ago
Thanks for sharing that you run into the same issue. Agree that something is wrong, perhaps scrolling causes the table to re-render for some reasons. I will look more into it and getting it fix next. There are techniques to optimize performance such as only render visible rows. I haven't spent much time testing it on mobile web and will enhance the mobile web view & experience upcoming.
aziaziazi•1h ago
Seems correct. I might not use you average-user-device (iPhone SE 2016) but liked your idea and clicked the link. The page freeze for ~15s for the first load but then refresh only takes ~4s. The animation is smooth if I’m not scrolling the list. Scrolling seems hard to handle as the new items takes 2s to appear. Do you use a virtual table [edit: just read you sibling comment saying you don’t, yet] or heavy JS for styling the list? I usually have no problem scrolling long text lists. Another guess would be the logos size but I’m not in my computer to check it out. For context: I know my device is old but it handles fine most sites that don’t have too many ads, js shenanigans or super heavy assets.

Kudos to you, I’m sure my 2012 mbp will handle it fine though :-)

Things software engineers will never get tired of:

- Building job boards

- Building static site generators

- Building todo list apps

- Building "personal knowledge base" type apps

SCUSKU•2h ago
Personally I have checked 3/4 boxes here, and actively working on a job board currently for fun...

At least for a job board, it feels like it is useful, and also ultimately not that complex a piece of software. Which is nice for doing some light coding as opposed to things I usually deal with at work.

xitang•1h ago
+1 to this! I have tons of fun while building this job board and having to refactor my code multiple times to generalize a pattern that can pull jobs from various sites. It is so fun to dig into some readings on the trimodal nature of tech compensation and pay transparency laws in the US. Plus it is a helpful site for folks like you said.

What type of job board are you building btw? Does it focus on a niche?

Scarblac•2h ago
I will do that one day but I want to blog about it as I build them and I never get my blog set up the way I want it.
zahlman•1h ago
That's what the personal static site generator project is for.
mnky9800n•2h ago
Static sites are more interesting tbh. Why does everything have to be so meta?
welder•2h ago
You forgot "Building time tracking apps"

I'm seeing even more of this effect lately among young vibe coders. Not saying it's a bad thing, I'm saying:

It's reached the point where it's easier to build your own app than search/decide/choose an existing one.

- Not letting you sort by a column
tacker2000•2h ago
Yup, why cant I search bu total comp here?

Also the table lags on my iPhone 15 when you select All.

What stack are you using, OP?

xitang•1h ago
Thanks for the note on the lag issue! I notice it as well and haven't gotten a chance to optimize it, but I think it is likely to due too many rows (400+) re-rendering, etc.

The site is built with Next.js, Typescript, React, tailwindcss, and deployed to Vercel. The cron job is a vercel function, which I believe is just a nice wrapper on aws lambda.

xitang•2h ago
Thanks for the note! This is an initial MVP, so column sort hasn't been added. The default sort order is based on posted date. Which column are you looking to sort btw?
xitang•2h ago
I have built various stuffs in the past few years and have came to appreciate more and more on things that will never get tired of. It can be a good indication that the problem spaces are large and remain unsolved as well as the opportunities. In such case, there are always rooms for anyone to come in to innovate and put their own spin to it. This is sometimes better than working on something that few or barely anyone works on, which can be an indication that the problem space is too small and only affects small set of folks.

Love the list btw. What is an example of "personal knowledge base" type app? Like Notion?

dewey•1h ago
> What is an example of "personal knowledge base" type app?

There's one on the front page right now, keyword "Obsidian" ;)

xitang•1h ago
Thanks, I see :)

I might have built part of a "personal knowledge base" type app by rolling up a custom editor before, so 1.5 boxes check.

icameron•2h ago
This is awesome, thanks. I’m currently employed but this is nice to see what’s out there at a glance. How do you calculate/know the total compensation? Like the base pay matches the info in the Airbnb opportunity but the total compensation is nearly double the base pay range amount, but isn’t quantified in the posting itself.
xitang•2h ago
Thank you for your kind words! I have this question on the faq page and am attaching the answer below:

4. Where are the salary data sourced from?

Tech companies typically structure salary, often called total compensation, into 3 parts: base salary, equity, and bonus.

Base salary is pulled directly from each job post, thanks to the U.S. Pay Transparency laws (e.g. California SB-1162 in 2011), which require companies to include salary ranges in job listings to help address wage gaps caused by bias or discrimination.

Total compensation is sourced from levels.fyi, a platform that collects leveling and salary info through crowdsourcing.

Unfortunately, current laws in many states, such as Washington RCW 49.58.110 in 2022, only require companies to provide base salary ranges along with a general description of other forms of compensation. This allows companies to omit equity and bonus details. Hopefully, future legislation will help close this gap.

najmlion•2h ago
I wish these salaries existed for Europe
xitang•1h ago
One good news is that US remote companies have been expanding to Europe, which will drive up salaries there over time to attract top talents. Gergely Orosz's Trimodal Nature of Tech Compensation in the US, UK and India has info on top paying companies in UK: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/trimodal

welder•2h ago
Wow, salaries have gone DOWN since I last worked as IC!

Context: Was a senior SWE in SF for Airbnb until 2020. Now I'm seeing Principle engineer positions with lower base salary than I had 5 years ago.

Thorrez•1h ago
Remote salaries will generally be lower than SF salaries.

Cost of living adjusted though, they may be higher.

xitang•1h ago
Did you join Airbnb before its IPO perhaps? I suppose pre-IPO companies usually offer higher base since their equities can't be liquidated until post-IPO.
welder•1h ago
Yes, must be that and the remote aspect.
robertoandred•1h ago
The table scrolling is very laggy.
