Problem
Good roles scattered across job boards and company ATSs, one role posted under five titles, and remote-from-anywhere jobs buried under US-only ones.
My team got laid off. I built us a better way to find work.
In November 2026, fourteen of us lost our jobs the same week, after a rushed AI adoption left a talented team with nothing to do. Most of us hadn't looked for work in years, and the market we came back to didn't work like the one we'd left. LinkedIn alone wasn't going to cut it.

10/14
laid-off teammates use it
Solution
14 sources normalized into one feed, remote-from-anywhere first, and saved searches shaped by my users' own words.
Results
10 of 14 teammates use it, ingestion is stable, and one of us found the opening that got him hired.
Design challenge
How do you see a whole job market when every company posts in a different place and calls the same role something else?
Issue #1
Roles were scattered everywhere, so I normalized 14 sources into one shape
GoSkir pulls listings from job platforms and from the public boards companies run on their ATSs. Where there was an API, I used it. Where there wasn't, I wrote a scraper.
I'm not an engineer and I won't pretend to be one. But years next to engineers taught me how to take a technical problem apart. Every listing gets the same structure, deduplicated and ranked.

Issue #2
For Latin America, "remote" often means US-only, so remote-from-anywhere comes first
That line is the difference between a real opening and a wasted application. It ranks first, but it's not a filter: everything else is still there.
Issue #3
One role goes by five titles, so my users designed saved searches with me
Backend Developer here, Backend Engineer there. Tech Lead in one place, Staff Software Engineer in another. You need several searches to see a single market. That was my old teammates' idea, not mine.
The best research panel I've ever had was ten people with a real problem and my phone number.

What changed
One of us saw the opening in GoSkir, followed the link to the original posting and got the interview. The interview was all him. But that's where he found it. Next: helping each person tailor their CV to the role without inventing anything, because most ATSs rank rather than reject.

What I took from it
Building for people you know raises the bar. You can't hide a bad decision from someone who'll tell you about it at breakfast.
The name comes from Skírnir, the small messenger in Norse myth who sets out on a journey he isn't sure he'll win.
