how it works
Short answers to the questions I get asked most about Jobs Brief.
If these roles aren't on the job boards, where do they come from?
Because I don't take them from job boards. I go straight to the source: the postings companies publish in their own hiring systems. Many never make it to JustJoin, NoFluff or LinkedIn, or arrive late and drown in the noise there. I reach them earlier, verify them live, filter, and pick the good ones by hand.
What's in the email?
A concise selection of roles with a short description, the salary band (when the company publishes one), the role's stack and a link straight to the posting. Plus a Signals section: companies just gearing up to hire, before the posting exists.
Who is it for?
Technical people working in cloud, platform, DevOps, SRE and AI-infra, mostly at senior level (with mid roles labelled separately and a manager track). If you're looking for general backend, frontend or data analytics, I won't be much help.
Where are the roles?
In Poland, or remote and genuinely open to the EU: if you couldn't actually take it from here, it doesn't go in.
What do the [B2B] / [UoP] labels mean?
Polish contract forms on Poland-based roles: B2B (contractor invoicing) or umowa o pracę (a standard employment contract), so readers in Poland can self-filter at a glance. Both are welcome here. If Polish contracts aren't your situation, just ignore the labels.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The newsletter is free.
How often does it arrive?
Every other Friday, in time for your morning coffee. One email, no spam.
Are the roles current?
At send time I check them live in the companies' systems. Hiring closes at its own pace though, so a single role can expire between the send and your click. The link always leads to the original posting, where you can see the current status.
The application form rejected me. What now?
Usually nothing to do with you: application forms sit behind invisible bot checks that quietly score your browser and network, with no puzzle to solve — so a refusal just reads as a wall. The usual culprits are a VPN or proxy (shared exit IPs score badly), an ad-blocker or strict tracking protection blocking the check's script, and cookies switched off. Retry without them, a few minutes apart, on another network if you have one. If it still won't go through, email the company — most have no idea their form is turning people away.
Can you refer me, or pass my application on?
No. I find the roles and link you straight to the company's own posting — I don't handle applications or represent candidates, and I'm not a recruiter working either side of the hire. So no referrals, no introductions, no putting in a word for you. That's the point rather than a gap: you apply direct, and the company hears from you rather than about you.
Who's behind this?
Me: Mateusz Jaźwiecki, a senior cloud/Azure architect from Poland. The email goes out from my personal address, so replying reaches me directly, not a no-reply box. Know a role that's missing here? Tell me.
