Lever is the established ATS for mid-market and growth-stage companies. career-ops hits Lever's public postings API directly.

What it does

The lever provider in providers/lever.mjs makes HTTP requests to api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug} and parses the JSON response. The slug is the company's Lever postings identifier (e.g. 'figma' for Figma).

When to use it

Use Lever scanning for companies in the Series C+ to pre-IPO range that have not migrated to Greenhouse or Ashby. Figma, Brex, and many fintech companies still use Lever.

Example

In your portals.yml: `- provider: lever\n  slug: figma\n  careers_url: https://jobs.lever.co/figma` — scan picks up active Figma roles.

What the scanner does

The scanner reads your enabled Lever slugs from portals.yml, calls Lever's public postings API for each one, and merges new, title-matching roles into your pipeline with no browser session and zero LLM tokens spent on the fetch. The same node scan.mjs run also covers your Greenhouse and Ashby boards, then filters everything by your configured title keywords.

Terminal

How career-ops talks to Lever

career-ops requests api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}, or the api.eu.lever.co host for EU boards, and reads the JSON array of postings. For each role it takes the text field as the title and the hostedUrl as the link, falling back to applyUrl when hostedUrl is absent. Because Lever returns the whole board in one structured response, the scan is a single public HTTPS GET per company that stays inside rate limits and spends no model tokens. Token cost only begins later, when you evaluate a role you want to pursue. Re-running the scan is safe: every URL is deduplicated against your scan history, your evaluated applications, and the current pipeline, so a role you have already seen is never added twice.

Gotchas

Lever's API exposes the full JD in the postings response. Some Lever boards include role internal metadata that career-ops surfaces as additional signal during scoring.
