Write a parseable SWE JD: title, stack, must-have skills, nice-to-haves, location, and pay band when you can. Match scoring reads skills you actually list. Vague “ninja rockstar” copy produces noisy ranks. Post the role on FeedbackAI after you paste a clean JD.

Example on FeedbackAI

Title: Software Engineer (product / platform — pick one).
Must-haves: languages and systems you will test.

Location and work mode; pay band if you share it internally.
