Filter We Work Remotely for Senior Roles Only

The board doesn't have a seniority filter — the query field is it. Thirdwatch's We Work Remotely Jobs Scraper pulls We Work Remotely's category feeds — the largest remote-job board — with full descriptions and apply links per row.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why filter for seniority

Senior candidates don't want to wade through junior listings. The board offers no seniority facet, but titles and descriptions carry it — a senior keyword filter does the cut.

query: "senior" across categories keeps only the senior-labelled rows.

The board's own feeds carry every posting with the full description, so the scrape is clean and complete.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Why this Actor

• All categories supported — programming through writing, QA, HR and more.
• Full job descriptions on the row, not just titles.
• region captures the posting's geographic restriction explicitly.
• Keyword query filter runs across title, company and description.
• Feed-based — fast, cheap, and stable.

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — categories takes the targets, category names map to the site's own feeds — programming, design, marketing, sales, product, qa, writing, hr, other.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per job.

Step 3: Use the output

Each row carries title, company, region restriction, full description, publish date, and the apply link.

{
  "categories": [
    "programming",
    "design"
  ],
  "query": "senior",
  "maxJobs": 50
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Inc",
  "url": "https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/acme-senior-backend-engineer",
  "guid": "wwr-12345",
  "category": "programming",
  "region": "Anywhere",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-10T14:00:00Z",
  "description": "We're looking for a senior backend engineer ..."
}

What to watch for

The category feeds carry recent postings (~100 per category) — for a full historical corpus, run on a schedule and accumulate. Region parsing is best-effort where postings don't declare one.
