A job search tool for software engineers
Your job search needs a routine.
Most AI job search tools help you do more. Find more matches. Apply to more jobs. Rewrite more resumes. Send more messages. But is that actually working?
Run Your Search builds a daily routine around your goals and schedule. It tells you what to do, shows you how I’d do it, and adjusts your plan based on what’s actually working.
You put in the reps. Run Your Search programs the training.

How it works
Four steps, then it loops.
-
01
Assess
Score your career fitness in four areas, say what you’re aiming for and how much time you have, then add your resume and a few target companies. About 15 minutes, once.
-
02
Get your routine
Based on your assessment and my approach to running a job search, Run Your Search identifies where you should focus and builds your weekly routine around it.
-
03
Put in the reps
Each weekday you get a list of reps. A rep is one small task, like commenting on a post or sending an application. Each rep comes with instructions based on how I’d approach it, not generic AI advice.
-
04
Review and repeat
Every Friday, a 5-minute review of what got done and what came up. Your next week is programmed from it.
Interview next Thursday? The routine changes.
Only 30 minutes a day? The routine changes.
50 applications and no interviews? The routine changes.
Why I’m building this.
I’ve spent 21 years in software: a Netflix engineer, a director of engineering, a programming instructor, and a career coach. I interviewed engineers at Netflix, trained other interviewers, and designed interview loops. Through all of it, the best engineers I worked with didn’t just have talent. They had a routine.
I learned that before tech. I attended the country’s top ski academy, trained alongside Olympic athletes, and later coached racing myself. Sports taught me what consistent training does for performance. A job search works the same way.
I’ve coached 90+ engineers through their searches, and ran my own in 2026. I couldn’t find a tool that did what I wanted, so I built the one I’d want if I started a new search tomorrow.
It’s opinionated. It won’t do your job search for you. It gives you a training plan, shows you how to put in the reps, and changes the plan based on what’s actually happening in your search.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Who is this for?
Software engineers and engineering managers looking for their next role, whether you’re employed and looking quietly or searching full time. It works best if you want a plan and you’re willing to put in the reps.
How much time do I need?
You choose how much time you have each day, up to two hours. Your routine is built around that time. Less time means fewer reps, not more pressure.
Will it apply to jobs or write messages for me?
No. Run Your Search tells you what to do and shows you how I’d do it, but you do the work. The goal is to help you stand out for what makes you different, not generate the same applications and messages as everyone else.
What happens when I get an interview?
Add it, and your week shifts toward it. Interview prep moves to the front, the day before gets focused, and the rest of the routine stays light until it’s done.
What happens after I sign up?
You create an account and start setup right away. It takes about 15 minutes. At the end you get your first week of reps. You can change any answer later in Settings.
