## What it is

[Arc.dev](https://arc.dev) exposes remote job listings on paths such as `/remote-jobs/playwright` and `/remote-jobs/cypress`. The extractor downloads SSR HTML and parses the embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` payload (Arc-managed and external rows).

Implementation: `extractors/arcdev/manifest.ts`.

## Why it exists

Curated remote hiring with explicit tooling-oriented feeds; many roles are open to North America when labeled that way on the site.

## How to use it

1. Enable **Arc.dev** in pipeline sources (no credentials).
2. Configure **`arcRemoteJobsPaths`** as a JSON array of path strings (defaults include Playwright and Cypress remote feeds). Optionally seed defaults from **`ARC_REMOTE_JOBS_PATHS`** (comma-separated paths).
3. Set **`arcMaxJobsPerPath`** (default `120`, max `300`) to cap rows per listing URL after deduplication.
4. Align **`searchTerms`** with titles or stacks you care about; empty-term behavior is handled inside the manifest per path.

## Common problems

- **HTML changes:** If Arc ships a new payload shape, parsing may need an update; smoke-test with `npm run smoke:extractors -- arcdev`, or run the full suite with `npm run smoke:extractors`.
- **`Arc talent network` employer:** Some Arc-managed rows omit a company name; the mapper uses that placeholder.
