Vagas is a job board for backend developers that uses GitHub issues as its primary mechanism for posting and discovering employment opportunities.
The tool addresses the challenge of connecting backend developers in Brazil with hiring companies by leveraging GitHub's native features. Employers post job listings as issues following a standard template, and candidates can subscribe to individual postings or search across all listings to receive updates via email or GitHub notifications. The approach integrates with the GitHub workflow that developers already use daily, eliminating the need for a separate job portal.
Developers seeking backend positions in Brazil or Portuguese-speaking regions should consider this tool, particularly those comfortable with GitHub's interface. It works well for both remote and location-specific roles, with postings labeled by experience level and employment type. The project exists within an ecosystem of similar repositories organized by technology stack, geographic region, and specialty area, allowing developers to focus on opportunities matching their interests.
The project maintains an active issue stream with regular job postings and demonstrates consistent community engagement through subscriptions and filtering activity. Contribution guidelines are documented and the tool integrates with external job aggregators that index its listings, extending its reach beyond direct GitHub users.
