Career Matching Algorithm

Working on a new data pipeline for finding and ingesting public job listings that then get matched to xptracker users by relevance. The feature is currently in beta, but the above screenshot offers a little sneak peak!

General Process

The overall pipeline covers several steps:
- Download public listings via publicly accessible API's.
- Store their various meta fields, whatever is available.
- Enrich stored listings using a lightweight AI model (like Claude's Haiku).
- Compute job matches to users with access to this feature.

Cost Cutting

Anything that uses LLM models in this way is bound to introduce an upfront cost, that's why we introduced checks into the pipeline that only poll for and tailor results to users who have access to this feature. Anything with heavy AI usage on xptracker will require a subscription to access in the future.
