  # netflix runs on eightfold, its careers api returns clean json.
  # sort_by=timestamp is newest-create-first, and the api hard-caps at
  # 10 results per page no matter what num says. 10 newest per 5-min
  # poll is plenty: netflix would have to post 10+ roles inside one
  # window for a new one to roll off page 1 before we see it

  # any myworkdayjobs tenant. url is the cxs /jobs endpoint, search
  # trims the result set to page 1 (workday hard-caps limit at 20).
  # note: nvidia's new-grad reqs are all tagged 2026 right now, so the
  # wrong-year rule kills them until the 2027 cohort opens, that's fine,
  # this mostly buys latency for when it does
