Speedrun Talent Network Automated Job Agent

A fully automated, zero-maintenance Google Apps Script that fetches job listings from the Speedrun Talent Network API, filters them according to your preferences, logs matching jobs into a Google Sheet, and sends email notifications whenever new opportunities appear.

The project is designed to be fully modular, all customization is isolated inside a single CONFIG block, so there is no need to modify the core logic after initial setup.
