πŸ”Ž Search Coverage & Open-Status Verification

111 unique direct-posting candidates (120 raw PSE/ATS records plus one direct-company candidate) were discovered after URL deduplication. Google PSE ran 10 targeted queries and returned 62 results. Direct ATS discovery attempted 101 boards, successfully queried 62, scanned 8,330 records, and surfaced 58 relevant candidates.

28 direct candidate postings were opened in rendered Chrome; 27 had positive current-open evidence. The final slate contains 25 roles, while 2 other browser-open postings were omitted for weaker geography/seniority fit. Another 83 discovery results were screened out before browser verification for title, geography, salary, or duplicate relevance.

Browser-first coverage targeted Eventbrite/Bending Spoons, Bizzabo, Cvent, Splash, Freeman, Informa, RX Global, Salesforce, Adobe, Atlassian, Notion, Figma, Stripe, Airbnb, DoorDash, Uber, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Snowflake, Okta, Asana, Canva, and additional Ashby/Greenhouse boards. One priority sourceβ€”Salesforceβ€”remained blocked after a canonical-careers retry; no role from that source was included. The other browser-confirmed omission was a duplicate senior Anthropic role with substantially higher seniority than the target profile.

1 posting was filtered out as closed, filled, expired, unavailable, or unverified. The browser-confirmed example redirected from its direct LinkedIn URL to an expired-job search page. Search-index and ATS-feed presence alone were not treated as proof of open status. Two included LinkedIn listings qualified under the recent LinkedIn/PSE exception: their rendered direct views showed posted ages of 5 and 6 days, full role/salary details, and no closed wording.
