Linkedin Careers Finder (LinkedIn Jobs – lightweight proxy + UI)

A tiny Node.js backend + static frontend that lets you search public LinkedIn job postings via the jobs-guest endpoint and display them with a clean, dark UI.
It supports multi-select filters, custom “Time Posted” ranges, and a Load more button that fetches the next page (offset +10 each time).

Disclaimer: This project calls a non‑official LinkedIn endpoint. The structure, availability, and rate limits can change at any time. Use responsibly and review LinkedIn’s Terms of Service before deploying.

Quick start (Linux)

Tested with Debian/Ubuntu. Other distros work similarly.

1) Install Node.js (20+ recommended)

# Ubuntu/Debian (use NodeSource for latest LTS)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# verify
node -v
npm -v

The project uses ESM modules. Ensure your package.json contains "type": "module".

2) Get the code

If you haven’t created a repo yet:

git clone <your-repo-url> careers-finder
cd careers-finder

Or copy the provided files into a folder:

careers-finder/
├─ package.json
├─ server.js
└─ public/
   └─ index.html
   └─ favicon.ico

3) Install dependencies

npm install

4) Run (dev)

npm start
# default: http://localhost:3000

Serve to your LAN:

• The server binds to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces). On the same network, visit http://<your-lan-ip>:3000.

If you use UFW, allow the port:

sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp
sudo ufw enable    # only if ufw was disabled and you want it enabled
sudo ufw status

If you changed the port, export it before starting:

export PORT=8080
npm start
