Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby APIs let developers build free hiring-intent trackers

0
·1 views

Developers can tap publicly accessible, unauthenticated JSON endpoints from three major applicant tracking systems — Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby — to monitor company job postings without paid subscriptions. Each platform exposes a job board feed identifiable via a company slug found in standard careers page URLs. Hiring-intent data is considered a valuable business signal because new job postings indicate real-time organizational priorities, such as budget approvals or team expansions. A key technical challenge is that these APIs return only current snapshots rather than reliable creation timestamps, requiring developers to compare successive data pulls to identify genuinely new listings. A DEV Community post outlines the approach with sample Node.js code and normalization logic to unify the differing data structures across all three providers.

Veteran Open-Source Developer Seeks Role in Developer Experience and API Design

A software engineer with nearly 20 years of experience is publicly seeking a new role focused on developer experience, API design, and technical leadership rather than a specific job title. The author created and maintains Inversify, an open-source dependency injection framework for TypeScript and Node.js that is widely used across the developer community. Through building Inversify, they gained hands-on experience in API design, backwards compatibility, community management, and open-source product strategy. They have also authored multiple books on software development and spent several years as a Microsoft MVP, contributing to technical communities and knowledge sharing. Rather than applying to listed positions, the developer is reaching out directly to teams whose needs align with their skill set.

Microsoft Moves Copilot's Deep Research Tool Behind $19.99/Month Paywall

Microsoft began retiring several free Copilot consumer features on 18 August, including Deep Research, Group Chat, AI-generated Podcasts, Copilot Labs, and the animated Mico character. The most significant change sees Deep Research replaced by a tool called Researcher, which is now exclusive to Microsoft 365 Premium subscribers at a reported $19.99 per month. The move coincides with Microsoft merging its consumer Copilot app and its business-oriented Microsoft 365 Copilot app into a single unified application across mobile, web, and eventually desktop. Existing research reports are not deleted and can be accessed or saved to Microsoft Word, depending on a user's subscription tier. The consolidation effectively converts a previously free and capable research feature into a paid offering, representing a broader shift in Microsoft's Copilot monetisation strategy.

Why Unclear Ownership — Not Bad Tools — Causes Workflow Automation to Fail

Workflow automation failures often stem not from faulty software but from unresolved questions about who is responsible for each handoff between steps. When ownership is ambiguous, automated systems can move work quickly while still leaving it stranded, as no person or system is accountable for the next action. Common consequences include missed follow-ups, duplicate responses, and records that diverge across email, CRM, and project tools. Reliable automation requires durable state — a persistent record of current status, responsible owner, next action, and completion evidence that survives outages or retries. Techniques like idempotency, which give each operation a stable identity to prevent duplicate processing on retry, are essential to building workflows that are genuinely dependable rather than merely active.

AI System Uses Decision Transformers to Handle Satellite Anomalies With Sparse Data

A researcher developing an autonomous satellite operations AI encountered a critical limitation when a simulated telemetry blackout exposed the system's inability to act under extreme data scarcity. The study focuses on satellite anomaly response, where missing or contradictory sensor data, long sequential dependencies, and severe cost asymmetry make standard reinforcement learning approaches unreliable. The researcher found that Decision Transformers, which frame reinforcement learning as a sequence modeling problem, offer a promising foundation but still struggle with data sparsity and sudden distribution shifts during anomalies. To address these gaps, the work explores human-aligned adaptations that incorporate expert operator judgment into the decision-making pipeline. The goal is to build AI systems capable of making high-stakes satellite decisions with minimal data while remaining aligned with experienced human oversight.
