search_jobsRead-only
Search live tech job postings from 500+ companies. Filter by keyword, role family, seniority, skill, location, salary, remote policy, or visa sponsorship.
Instructions
Search HireJack's database of live tech job postings. Filter by keyword, role family, seniority, skill, location, salary, remote policy, or visa sponsorship. Returns a slim list of jobs with title, company, location, salary range, posted date, and key skills. Use this for queries like 'remote senior backend roles paying $200K+', 'data engineer jobs at fintech companies', 'who is hiring Rust developers in NYC'. Not for a single known posting (get_job), company-level questions (get_company_profile), personalized ranking (recommendations), or aggregate market stats (get_market_pulse).
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Free-text keyword search (case-insensitive substring) across raw and standardized title, company name, company domain, and location. Tip: use the `skill` parameter for skill matches — `q` does NOT search job descriptions or the skill list. | |
| visa | No | Visa sponsorship (AI-extracted): 'yes' returns jobs whose posting indicates sponsorship, 'no' those that rule it out. Omit to include jobs where the posting doesn't say. | |
| limit | No | Max results to return (default 25, max 100) | |
| skill | No | Single skill name to require (case-insensitive substring match), e.g. 'Rust' or 'Kubernetes' | |
| cursor | No | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous search_jobs call's `meta.next_cursor`. Pass it back (with the SAME filters) to fetch the next page of results. | |
| family | No | Role family (software_engineering, machine_learning, etc.). Omit to search all families. | |
| remote | No | Remote policy filter; 'remote+hybrid' matches either mode. Omit to include onsite jobs too. | |
| company | No | Company domain to filter by, e.g. 'stripe.com' | |
| location | No | Location substring filter, e.g. 'San Francisco' or 'New York' | |
| education | No | Minimum degree the job requires (AI-extracted). E.g. 'bachelor' returns jobs whose stated requirement is exactly a bachelor's. | |
| seniority | No | Seniority level on the intern → vp ladder. Omit to include all levels. | |
| experience | No | Years-of-experience bucket the job asks for (AI-extracted yearsMin). E.g. '0-2' for entry-level-friendly roles, '10+' for very senior ones. | |
| has_salary | No | Set true to only include jobs with a disclosed salary range; omit to include jobs without pay data. | |
| salary_max | No | Maximum salary ceiling (annual USD). Matches jobs whose floor is at or below this (i.e. salaryMin <= X). | |
| salary_min | No | Minimum salary floor (annual USD). Matches jobs whose disclosed salary range *could pay at least* this much (i.e. salaryMax >= X). A job with range $150K–$250K matches salary_min=200000. | |
| posted_since | No | Only include jobs posted on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). E.g. for 'jobs posted this week', pass the date 7 days ago. |
