🇨🇭 swissdevjobs-cli

Search, filter, and apply across 8 job boards in 7 countries — ~4,700 tech jobs with salary data, plus all ~50,000 Swiss postings on jobs.ch & jobup.ch — without leaving your terminal.

🇨🇭 Switzerland · 🇩🇪 Germany · 🇬🇧 UK · 🇺🇸🇨🇦 US & Canada · 🇳🇱 Netherlands · 🇫🇷 France

Every posting on swissdevjobs.ch — and its five sister boards covering Germany, the UK, the US & Canada, the Netherlands, and France — is required to publish a salary range. That makes them the rare job boards where you can filter by pay before you click. Since v0.5 the tool also searches jobs.ch and jobup.ch — Switzerland's two biggest boards, every industry, ~50,000 postings. One search, eight boards, JSON-first so an LLM agent can drive it.

It also remembers what you've already applied to, across every board, so the same job never shows up twice.

Why

Please be reasonable

This talks to somebody else's website, built by a small team who chose to make salary transparency mandatory. Keep your request volume human. Don't strip the caching. Don't fire off applications to postings you haven't read — that wastes a real recruiter's afternoon and poisons the well for everyone using the board honestly.

Read swissdevjobs.ch's terms before you automate anything on top of this.

Install

In Claude Code — two commands

/plugin marketplace add Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
/plugin install swissdevjobs@swissdevjobs

That's it. Claude Code prompts for your name, email, and CV path, then starts the MCP server with uvx — nothing to install first, and no shell profile is touched. Ask it "find me senior Python roles in Zurich over 140k" and go.

Requires uv on your PATH (brew install uv, or curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh).

As a CLI

uv tool install git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli

# pipx
pipx install git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli

# from a checkout, editable
git clone https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
cd swissdevjobs-cli
uv tool install -e .     # or: pipx install -e .

# no install at all — run it once
uvx --from git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli sdj list --remote

Not published to PyPI.

Installs two equivalent binaries: sdj and swissdevjobs. Python 3.9+.

Boards

Two platforms, eight boards, one tool. The devitjobs family shares one backend across six countries — identical API, identical apply flow — and the JobCloud platform (jobs.ch, jobup.ch) covers every industry in Switzerland:

All boards are searched by default. A selector is a board id (just that one) or a country code (every board there) — --board, with --source and --country as accepted aliases:

sdj list --board jobsch                   # just jobs.ch
sdj list --board de --board uk            # just Germany + UK, this once
sdj config --boards ch,de                 # persist: all CH boards + Germany
sdj config --boards swissdevjobs          # persist: one board only
sdj config --boards all                   # back to everything

sdj boards (and the MCP tool list_boards) prints all of this as data — no need to memorize which board does what:

$ sdj boards
8 boards — select with --board <id|country>, persist with `sdj config --boards`

jobs.ch and jobup.ch are search-driven. Their ~50k-job inventory can't be mirrored (the API caps at 20 rows per page and 2,000 results per query), so they answer your query server-side, newest first — pass free text for real coverage, and --category it to stay in tech:

$ sdj list "pflegefachfrau" --board jobsch --limit 2      # any industry, server-side
2 shown · 100 match filters · 100 in feed

$ sdj list "python" --board ch --category it              # CH tech across all three boards

They publish no salary data (rendered honestly as —) and have no native apply — every posting routes to the company's own ATS, so direct-apply refuses with the real apply URL instead of pretending.

Native postings on every devitjobs board publish a salary range. Syndicated listings (marked isPartner by the boards — the majority outside Switzerland) sometimes carry no range or a single-point figure; the tool renders those honestly and refuses to native-apply to them, handing you the real ATS URL instead — their pages have no native apply form, so a native submission would silently vanish. The applied-jobs ledger is shared — apply to a role on one board and the same company+role is hidden on all of them.

Reading jobs needs no configuration at all. Applying needs to know who you are.
