Apply to jobs in San Francisco — automatically.
The Bay Area hires fast and forgets faster — a role posted on Monday has three hundred applicants by Thursday. Being early matters more than being polished, which is exactly the part a manual search loses when you are still living somewhere else.

Where San Francisco roles actually get posted.
Every market has two or three systems that carry most of the volume, and a long tail of career pages that carry the rest. Sidedoor watches both and applies within hours of a role appearing.

Relocating into the San Francisco Bay Area
Most Bay Area startups will not sponsor a first-time H-1B, but will relocate a candidate who already holds status. Sidedoor reads the sponsorship line in the post before it applies, so you are not spending applications on roles that cannot hire you.
Applying to San Francisco from wherever you are.
Can I apply to San Francisco jobs before I move there?
Yes, and it is the whole point. Sidedoor applies with your target address and start date already set, so recruiters see a candidate who is arriving rather than one who is remote-only. Roles that explicitly require someone on-site from day one are filtered out.
Which San Francisco job boards does Sidedoor cover?
Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday and Y Combinator's Work at a Startup, plus company career pages for the roughly 900 Bay Area companies we track directly. New postings are picked up within a few hours.
Does Sidedoor email Bay Area hiring managers directly?
On Momentum and Blitz, yes. The portal application goes in and a short, specific email goes to the person who owns the role — the same job, two doors.
