Writing jobs
Creating, editing, publishing and closing the account's advertisements. Needs the `jobs:write` scope.
Create a draft job
POST /v1/jobs
Creates a **draft**. It is not public, it is not charged for, and it does not appear in GET /v1/jobs until it is published. The role lands in Orbit where a wizard-authored draft lands, so a recruiter can open, edit and publish it by hand.
title is required. Everything else is optional here and nudged at publish time — only a title and a description gate publishing.
Send an Idempotency-Key so a retried request returns the first answer instead of creating a second advertisement.
Parameters
| Name | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Idempotency-Key | header | string | A value of your own that identifies this intent — a job id from your
own system, or a UUID. Retrying with the same key returns the first
answer instead of repeating the work, for 24 hours. The reply to a
replay carries Idempotent-Replay: true.
Example greenhouse-job-4471-publish. |
Request body

}Edit a job
PATCH /v1/jobs/{jobId}
Sets the fields you send and leaves the rest alone.
On a **draft** the change applies at once. On a **published** ad the words are staged rather than replacing what candidates are currently applying against, and the response carries pendingRevision: true until someone promotes them — a recruiter in Orbit, or this call with publishEdits: true.
expiresAt and maxMatches are exempt from staging and always apply immediately: both exist to stop something, and holding them behind a promotion would keep the thing running.

}Publish a job
POST /v1/jobs/{jobId}/publish
Takes a draft live: it becomes visible on the hosted job page, its applyLink starts accepting candidates, it enters the Wipperoz job seeker feed and the first matching run begins.
**This spends credits.** The publish fee is taken once, on first publish — re-publishing a role that has been live before keeps its address and is not charged again, and the response says which happened. Not enough credits answers 402 and nothing is written.
A job with no title or no description answers 422 naming the fields that block it. Everything else is optional.
Parameters
| Name | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
jobIdrequired | path | string | Example job_01J9A0B1C2EXAMPLE. |
Idempotency-Key | header | string | A value of your own that identifies this intent — a job id from your
own system, or a UUID. Retrying with the same key returns the first
answer instead of repeating the work, for 24 hours. The reply to a
replay carries Idempotent-Replay: true.
Example greenhouse-job-4471-publish. |
Request body
Optional.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
expiryDays | integer | null | When the role stops accepting applications. null — the default — leaves it live until it is closed by hand. One of: 30, 60, 90, null. Default null. |
{
"expiryDays": 30

200 — The role is live.

}Close a job
POST /v1/jobs/{jobId}/close
Stops a live role. The hosted page stops accepting applications and says the role has closed, the role leaves the job seeker feed, and the CV access the role granted your recruiters ends with it — the reason for that access was an open application.
Applications already received stay, and stay readable in Orbit. Closing is not deleting; this API has no delete.
Only a published role can be closed. A draft or an already-closed role answers 409.

JobWrite
What you may set on a job. Every field is optional on PATCH; title is required on POST. The vocabulary is the one the reads return, so an enum you already map for rendering is the enum you send. What you may **not** set: status, id, slug, url, applyLink, company, postedAt, updatedAt and closedAt are ours — derived, permanent, or a lifecycle transition with its own endpoint. Sending one is a 400, deliberately, rather than being ignored: a field you thought you set and we silently dropped is worse than an error.

expiresAt | string | null (date-time) | When the role stops accepting applications. null clears it — live until closed by hand. Applies immediately, even on a published ad. |
maxMatches | integer | null | Stop generating AI matches once this many exist. null removes the cap. Applies immediately, even on a published ad. |
AuthoredJob
The job as its own account sees it. Identical to Job, except that status may also be draft — the state a job is created in, which the read endpoints never return. A draft already carries an applyLink. It does not resolve until the role is published; it is there so a careers page can be built against the record before it goes live.
