Overkill
job offer aggregator
School project, team of 5, live
An aggregator of job, internship and apprenticeship offers, built by five of us in three weeks. I took on the offers and the favourites: filtered search, results page by page, and checks on incoming offers.
- The offers and favourites, server side
- Checks on offers before they are saved
- Filtered search and pagination
The approach
The need
Overkill brings job, internship and apprenticeship offers together in one place.
My part
I handled the offers and the favourites: view, filter, create and delete an offer.
Working as five
Three weeks, three one-week sprints, each with its goal. Each sprint split into user stories on Trello, each given to one person. A daily stand-up: done, blocked, still to do.
I reviewed every approved contribution to keep the code consistent. Above all, I learned to communicate: today, I would write more decisions down.
Key decisions
The offers come from an automated collector, and nobody reads them. So each one is checked before it is saved: a required, bounded title, a type among three values, a two-letter country, valid coordinates.
How it runs
A Symfony API, a React interface, a PostgreSQL database. Each of us had a part of the API.
The search combines free text, city, company, contract, remote work, salary or category, shows results page by page and leaves out offers older than thirty days. Everyone finds their favourites.
The demo is hosted by a classmate from my year.
