Hi Dani, first of all congrats for the great work! Your website is really well done!
I could give you many suggestions but I believe the one I would like more to see it's more filter options. 'Stackoverflow Jobs' has really good ones like 'Tech you like', 'Tech you dislike'. This filter is really good to filter some 'false positive' positions.
Another important filter option would be 'Location'. There a few positions which are specific to certain countries or time zones so, it'd be great to be able to filter by this as well.
Thanks and let me know if I can help with something. :)

Thanks for the feedback Frederico.

'Stackoverflow Jobs' has really good ones like 'Tech you like', 'Tech you dislike'.

We've been think about this for a while. In order to personalize jobs we need users to sign up so that we can save preferences and track usage. We're worried it'll result in fewer signups than plan email alerts which are largely anonymous (you only need an email address). This is something we'll probably implement later this year.

There a few positions which are specific to certain countries or time zones so, it'd be great to be able to filter by this as well.

Yup, I find this annoying too. Unfortunately the different sites we scrape data from don't offer this in a uniform way, so it ends up being inconsistent. I don't have a solution for this problem yet.

Do you use the email alerts? Do you find them useful?
