Help me find YC startup job summaries using https://toolmu.com/tools/search-yc-startup-jobs-y-combinator. I can send a request without a category or add [job category]. Confirm my ordinary category wording against the documented choices before searching, and prepare that choice in the background. If it is unclear, show actual supported choices and pause for my selection; do not guess, silently substitute a category or treat a result’s specialty as a new search choice. An unfilled bracket is not a category: ask whether I want to choose one or continue without one. If I request another search condition, clarify the supported scope before continuing; review it against the returned jobs only if I agree. Organize only the actual returned job titles, companies, YC batches, specialties, locations, original compensation text and original posting links, keeping each job’s details together. Preserve missing compensation as unknown and use currency or pay period only when explicitly supplied. Keep the actual list separate from the source-reported count. Retain regional remote-work wording, and do not claim worldwide eligibility, verified current hiring, complete coverage or a submitted application.

Task:
Find YC startup job summaries. Compare the returned job titles, companies, YC batches, locations and original compensation text, with each posting’s original link. Keep each job’s details together, leave missing compensation unknown and distinguish the returned list from the source-reported count.

Start with your task

Find YC startup job summaries. Compare the returned job titles, companies, YC batches, locations and original compensation text, with each posting’s original link. Keep each job’s details together, leave missing compensation unknown and distinguish the returned list from the source-reported count.

What to know

The search supports only its documented job categories; specialties shown in results do not add more search choices. Compensation can be missing, and currency or pay period is known only when explicitly provided. Location and remote-work text do not establish worldwide or visa eligibility. The summaries do not guarantee complete coverage, currently open hiring or full job descriptions.

Inputs & outputs

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Job summaries`result.data.jobs`	`array`	Returned source job records. Keep each job’s title, company, compensation, location and original posting link together; this is not a complete current vacancy inventory.
Job identifier`result.data.jobs[].id`	`number`	Source posting identifier associated with this record and its job_url.
Job title`result.data.jobs[].title`	`string`	Original source job-title text.
Employment type`result.data.jobs[].type`	`string`	Source label such as Full-time; it does not verify employment contract terms.
Compensation text`result.data.jobs[].salary`	`string \| null`	Nullable original salary text. Preserve any explicit currency notation, such as CAD; a currency symbol alone does not establish a currency or pay period. Null provides no amount, not zero.
Original job link`result.data.jobs[].job_url`	`string`	Supplied source posting URL. Receiving or opening it does not submit an application or confirm hiring remains open.
Location or work arrangement`result.data.jobs[].location`	`string`	Original place or work-arrangement text, including any regional remote qualifier. It does not establish worldwide remote or visa eligibility.
Company name`result.data.jobs[].company_name`	`string`	Source-listed company name; not an independent verification of the legal employer.
Company identifier`result.data.jobs[].company_slug`	`string`	Source company identifier. Keep it intact; this field is not a company profile URL.
YC batch`result.data.jobs[].company_batch`	`string`	Source YC cohort code, such as W16; not a founding year or current hiring period.
Job specialty`result.data.jobs[].role_category`	`string`	Source specialty text, such as Backend or Full stack. These returned labels are not additional accepted role input values.
Company description`result.data.jobs[].company_description`	`string`	Source short company description, not the full job description or independently verified company claims.
Reported result count`result.data.count`	`number`	Source count accompanying this result. Read it alongside the actual returned list; it is not a verified total of all current YC jobs.

Additional notes

Source context: Mason’s original YC Work at a Startup posting. Use an original posting to review a job beyond its summary. The source page’s fuller description, skills, equity, visa information and application controls are not additional fields in this summary search.

Keep source wording attached to its own job. A returned Backend or Full stack specialty is different from the software-engineer input category. Preserve explicit salary notation and regional qualifiers such as Remote (US); do not fill in an unstated currency, pay period or applicant eligibility. The returned list and count describe this response, without establishing all available jobs or a fixed result size.

The documented choices cover software engineering, design, recruiting, science, product, operations, sales, marketing, legal and finance. If your wording could mean more than one category, choose a confirmed option before the search. More specific labels shown in results do not create additional search choices.
