Found.dev
Find the best developer jobs worldwide.
Created by and for developers, Found.dev helps connect developers with the best jobs worldwide.
As of today, https://found.dev is listing more than 5.000 developer jobs!
I am still adding one or two new sources of jobs every week, and more and more companies are also manually submitting their jobs via the website.
I am thinking of adding an API for everyone to be able to send jobs.
If you know any good source of jobs, please let me know!
After several weeks of work creating a completely new version of found.dev, I have relaunched on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/found-dev-2-0
In December 2021, I decided to take on the project again and completely transform it into a new thing. Something way simpler, based on the feedback I got from my first try: a job board. But not a normal job board like the other thousands of job boards out there, based on a specific language, framework, or tool, but a job board for having them all!
As of today, found.dev is listing more than 2.000 jobs for developers.
I am adding more than 60 new jobs daily from over a dozen of the best developer jobs boards, and this number is only getting bigger and bigger, since I am adding about two to three new sources weekly.
If you know any good source I may be missing, please let me know!
As mentioned on the last post, I have changed the direction of this project to make it easier to maintain.
From now on, the website ist a directory of curated developers job links from all over the world.
I will be adding more and more sources, so check https://www.found.dev if you want to find the best jobs!
Since I didn't find any buyer who would pay was I was asking for, I have decided to simplify the platform and reorientate it.
This would help me maintain the platform while not investing too much time in it.
I started working on the new idea a few days ago, and it will be online very soon. Stay tuned!
Due to the lack of time to continue with this project, I have decided to put it up for sale.
I don't have time enough to focus on marketing and sales or to continue extending the functions, so before letting it die, I will happily sell it to whoever wants to continue.
Income:
Since now everything is for free on the platform, I am still not having any income from this project.
Costs:
The cost of hosting the platform is also zero since everything is running on the smallest EC2 and RDS of AWS, included in the free tier. Once the first year of the free tier has passed, I estimate a monthly cost of about 35 USD if using the actual infrastructure. This can be lowered to 5 USD or 10 USD by hosting everything on an AWS Lightsails instance or Heroku.
Price:
I am open to offers.
I have been doing some improvements lately so that companies can now easily register and publish their jobs, which they can do it now for free!
To assure quality, I will be reviewing the published jobs before they are visible to the rest of the users. This process takes normally less than one day.
After some month letting only hand-picked developers and companies register in order to get some feedback and improve the platform, I think it is ready to be open for everyone: from now on, an invite is no longer required in order to create a developer or a company account.
Also posting a single job is for free! In case you need to post more jobs, contact us.
From now on, all companies with active jobs get a Dofollow link on their company profile.
Also, the latest registered companies are listed with their logo and a link to their company profile on the information page for companies: https://found.dev/companies
Now it is possible to add an email or external URL for developers to apply to jobs outside found.dev
This is a feature some companies have been requiring lately, since they would like to publish the jobs on the board, but manage the applications with some other external software or email.
