How CronJobs works — answered

CronJobs is a free Discord community where U.S.-based software engineers find jobs through 23 supported employer-career and feed connectors, discuss compensation, and use AI career tools without leaving Discord.

No. CronJobs is an independent software engineering jobs community hosted on Discord. It is not Discord Inc. and does not operate Discord’s corporate hiring site. If you want to work for Discord itself, use the official Discord careers page.

Click the Discord invite at discord.gg/v2eR7xQVDK, sign in to Discord if needed, accept the server rules, and pick your role during onboarding. There is no separate CronJobs signup form or paywall for the core feeds.

Yes. Joining, reading the forum feeds, using the free ask-the-bot AI channel, sharing salary data in #salary-talk, and participating in the core community costs nothing. Premium ($9.99/mo) is optional and adds conversational search, personalized DM feeds, the ATS resume checker, AI resume tailoring, and urgent match notifications.

CronJobs currently supports 18 employer-career and ATS connector types plus 5 scheduled feeds. The pipeline refreshes every hour and posts eligible listings into forum channels four times daily. The public source registry lists every connector and distinguishes support from actual snapshot contribution.

The ingestion scheduler runs hourly, forum channels publish four times daily, and Premium DM feeds run every 15 minutes. Actual delivery depends on source availability, processing, filters, and Discord delivery, so those cadences are schedules rather than a per-listing guarantee.

Software engineering only, USA-based. Coverage spans backend, frontend, fullstack, AI/ML, DevOps/SRE, mobile (iOS/Android), and security. Every discipline has its own forum channel plus the catch-all #all-jobs. Non-engineering roles (recruiting, sales, operations, skilled trades) are filtered out.

Yes. The pipeline ingests eligible U.S. software engineering listings across experience levels and classifies seniority when the source provides enough evidence. Confirm the level in the employer description. For a focused walkthrough, see the junior SWE jobs guide.

Yes. Every listing is tagged with work mode (remote, hybrid, onsite) and filterable. The #all-jobs channel includes every mode; role-specific channels let you see just remote roles in your discipline. The remote SWE jobs guide covers how to use the feeds most effectively.

Premium adds conversational AI search over the full index, personalized DM job feeds, the DOCX ATS resume checker, AI resume tailoring, urgent-match alerts, and access to #premium-lounge. It is billed through Discord at $9.99/mo.

Employers use the Job Poster ($99/mo, 2 standard posts per month, repost reminders, hiring lounge access) or Job Poster Pro ($199/mo, adds 2 sponsored posts, gold placements, multi-channel posting, weekly performance DMs) tiers. Posts go directly into the relevant role channels and reach active software engineers already in the server. Questions about posting can be sent to employers@cron-jobs.dev.

CronJobs uses Cloudflare D1, KV, Durable Objects, and R2. Resume session artifacts are scheduled for deletion after four hours, while one active resume and extracted text can be retained for reuse until replaced or deletion is requested. We do not sell personal information. Read the Privacy Policy before uploading a resume.

Not yet. All listings are filtered to US-based roles and the service is designed for engineers authorized to work in the United States. International expansion is on the roadmap.

CronJobs combines recurring ATS and feed ingestion, role-based Discord forums, community discussion, and conversational career tools. General job boards cover a broader market; CronJobs narrows its scope to U.S. software engineering and provides direct application links when available. See the developer Discord comparison.
