The first job I clicked on said this in the actual ad. This is a far cry from a remote job. The aggregator needs a little more tweaking:

This role is based out of Reddit's office located in San Francisco.

We will only consider candidates currently located in San Francisco, or currently within close commuting distance to the SF office.

The role requires in-office work 4 days per week.

Thanks so much for noting this! This is a big miss with the current filtering logic. I will get it fix next. This is my fault as I notice most positions in reddit are remote so I falsely assume that it is a remote company. They are hybrid it seems.

I'm sure with a few more iterations you'll get most of the bugs out.

I also saw another oddity but failed to note it. There was a job where the total comp number was lower than the base pay number. Might be good to add a hard rule that prevents displaying that and flags it internally for your review.

EDIT: it was this one: https://block.xyz/careers/jobs/4647628008?ref=remoteswe.fyi&...

Its an aggregator which means its probably not perfect as its looking for keywords or something.

Sure, but "requires in-office" are keywords.

It’s trivial to run these posts through LLMs these days and filter out jobs that aren’t fully remote. Pure Laziness.

Agree, I will work on sanding down some rough edges next. Might not even need LLMs as a simple regex would do the trick
