Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

yc-job-tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

YC Job Tracker

Automates daily job discovery on workatastartup.com — finds AI/ML engineering roles at YC startups, scores them for fit, and alerts you to new postings.

When to Use

  • "Show me AI/ML jobs at YC startups"
  • "What new jobs posted today match my profile?"
  • "Track jobs at YC startups daily"
  • Job searching at YC/startup companies

Setup

git clone https://github.com/chandrudp29/yc-jobs-tracker
cd yc-jobs-tracker
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Add your HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY to .env

Daily Use

# Fetch today's jobs and show top AI/ML matches
python fetch_today.py

# Filter for India/Bengaluru roles only
python fetch_today.py --india

# Load from yesterday's cache (no network request)
python fetch_today.py --load

Start the API

uvicorn api:app --port 8765

Endpoints:

  • GET /jobs/ai — top AI/ML matches with scores
  • GET /jobs/new — jobs posted since yesterday
  • POST /jobs/fetch — trigger a fresh scrape in background

Scoring System

Jobs are scored on relevance:

Signal Points
"AI Engineer" / "ML Engineer" in title 10
"Founding AI Engineer" in title 12
India / Bengaluru location 6
LangChain / LangGraph / PyTorch in description 3
OpenAI / Claude / Bedrock mentioned 2
Remote 2

Score ≥ 15 = PERFECT match (🟢) Score ≥ 10 = Strong match (🔵)

Daily Automation (9 AM IST)

# Runs daily at 3:30 AM UTC = 9 AM IST
python -c "from scheduler import start; start()"

Without authentication, workatastartup.com shows ~30 preview listings. For all 438:

  1. Log in to workatastartup.com in Chrome
  2. Install "Cookie-Editor" extension
  3. Export all cookies as JSON
  4. Save as cookies.json in the project root

The scraper auto-detects cookies.json and injects the session.

Configuration

Edit config.py to customize:

  • TITLE_BOOST — which job titles to prioritize
  • LOCATION_BOOST — which locations to weight
  • TECH_BOOST — which tech keywords to score

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
