Example draft
I'm hiring a senior backend engineer for our payments team. Remote, anywhere in Europe. You would own the service that moves money between our customers and their suppliers, work on retries and reconciliation that have to be right the first time, and help us pick what to build next. Salary range: 85,000 to 105,000 EUR. If you like problems where correctness matters more than speed, I'd like to talk: https://example.com/jobs/backend-payments
Gotchas
- Test runs create real drafts. Reject them in the inbox after testing.
- Characters like parentheses and @ are escaped for LinkedIn automatically, so a salary written as (EUR) will not break the post.
- Per-account daily limits apply. A batch of 20 new jobs creates 20 drafts; only the allowed number publishes per day.
- Character limit: 3,000 characters for a post. The feed shows the first few lines and hides the rest behind a see more link.
- Media per post: LinkedIn allows multi-image posts, documents, and video. SocialHandoff publishes 1 image per post.
- Alt text: Supported on images through the API's alt text field. Not available for video or documents.
- Threads: LinkedIn has no threads. If a draft has several parts, SocialHandoff joins them into one post.
