How often are new jobs added?

Every minute. We scan thousands of hiring sources in real-time so you see roles as soon as they go live, often hours before they appear on public job boards.Early access = higher odds of getting interviewed.

Why can I only view limited per day on the free plan?

Free access gives everyone a fair starting point. But seeing every job instantly creates an unfair advantage, so unlimited browsing is reserved for Pro users who want full access to fresh, hidden, and time-sensitive roles. Limiting free browsing also prevents automated scraping by competitors.

What sources do you pull jobs from?

We aggregate from: - company career pages - startup platforms - ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, etc.) - niche regional job boards - hidden talent networks not indexed by Google Over 50,000 sources → one unified feed.

Are these jobs legitimate?

Yes. We automatically remove: - expired listings - spam - shady postings - duplicates - fake "ghost jobs" Every job you see is active, real, and verified at the source.

What’s the benefit of upgrading to Pro?

Pro gives you an information advantage. You unlock: - unlimited job browsing - real-time alerts for your saved filters - early access to newly discovered roles - deeper filtering (salary, remote, visa, experience, etc.) - access to hidden sources most job seekers never find Pro users consistently apply earlier and get significantly higher interview rates.

Can I filter by location, experience, remote, or salary?

Yes and Pro unlocks the power filters job boards don’t show you, including: - roles posted in the last 24 hours - company ATS only - startup-only sources - remote-flex categories - international roles by timezone

Why are early alerts so important?

Most job applications pile up within the first 6–12 hours after posting. If you apply early, you skip the crowd and rank higher in recruiter screening. Our alerts give you that timing advantage.

If the employer provides it, yes. If not, we attempt to estimate using salary bands from public and private datasets (Pro only).

Is DayOneJobs suitable for senior roles too?

Yes. We cover all roles, from internships to senior-level. Filters simply let you tailor your feed to your level.

About The Company

Kaplan Kirsch is a national law firm with a practice focused on solving problems that involve environmental, infrastructure, land use, public lands, real estate development, and transportation law. The Firm represents local governments, individuals, corporate clients, and organizations in complex and controversial projects that are often subject to intense public scrutiny and involve the intersection of private and governmental interests. The Firm has a reputation for crafting innovative solutions to high-risk and seemingly intractable problems involving the complex interplay of varied disciplines of law. Our attorneys have been counsel to a wide variety of public agencies across the nation, represented public interest organizations in high-profile environmental litigation, served as government counsel at the highest levels of federal and local government, and represented a wide range of clients on cutting-edge compliance issues. Our attorneys have a national reputation as handling some of the largest and most sophisticated public infrastructure projects, including Brownfields redevelopment, airports, highways, and urban transit systems. The Firm's offices in Denver, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, enable the Firm to represent clients in matters throughout the country. The breadth of the Firm's practice includes active representations in almost half the states at any one time.

About the Role

Description

Shape how millions move, regions grow, and communities connect—outside the traditional "Big Law" model.

About the Role:

Kaplan Kirsch seeks a highly motivated, creative, and collaborative mid-level transactional associate (3 to 5+ years of experience) to join our Project Funding and Delivery Practice. You will focus on construction procurement, contracting, project finance, and project delivery (P3, design-build, CMAR/CM/GC, progressive design-build) across infrastructure sectors for airports, transit agencies, state departments of transportation, and other public and private entities. The work is sophisticated, varied, collaborative, nationwide, and rarely routine.

The Ideal Candidate:

You bring strong commercial instincts, sharp judgment, and a drive to own complex procurements, contracts, funding and financing structures, and delivery issues. While transportation or social infrastructure experience is a plus, we value intellectual curiosity—someone who loves tackling unfamiliar regulatory frameworks, working across disciplines, and solving practical problems for complex projects that leave a lasting mark on communities and the built environment.

About the Firm:

Founded in 2003 as an alternative to the "business of law as usual," Kaplan Kirsch is a fast-growing, collegial, and collaborative national specialized law firm. A majority of our clients are states, local governments, Native American Tribes, airports, transit agencies, renewable energy companies, and non-profit organizations. Our firm offers a rare opportunity to work on matters that shape how people and goods move, how regions grow, and how communities stay connected. Just as important, it is deeply meaningful: our clients own and operate essential public assets, and the legal work surrounding them affects millions of travelers, businesses, and communities across the United States every day.

Our leadership includes multiple former U.S. Department of Transportation General Counsels and former chief counsels from the Federal Railroad and Federal Transit Administrations. We offer associates real-world significance, substantial responsibility, direct client contact, and a clear path toward partnership in a supportive environment.

In This Role, You Will:

Core Practice: Drive our nationwide Project Funding and Delivery practice while collaborating across airports, environmental, rail/transit and other transportation, social infrastructure, real estate, tribal, and energy sectors.
Contracts & Procurement: Draft, negotiate, and manage project delivery procurements, construction and project delivery contracts, funding and financing agreements and documentation, pre-development agreements, leases, and other documentation.
Regulatory Guidance: Guide public/private clients through federal, state, and local funding schemes and regulations for projects.
Advisory Services: Advise clients on infrastructure delivery, real estate transactions, funding and financing structures, and construction and project delivery strategies.
Industry Exposure: Travel periodically for client meetings, site visits, negotiations, and conferences.

Requirements

You’ll Excel With:

Experience: 3–5+ years in transactional law, including construction, project development, project finance, and/or government procurement.
Skills & Delivery: Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills; familiarity with alternative project delivery methods (CMAR/CM/GC, design-build, P3, progressive design-build, etc.).
Mindset: Intellectual curiosity, commercial judgment, adaptability in a fast-paced environment, and a high comfort level working both independently and collaboratively.
Credentials: J.D. from an accredited law school and active U.S. bar admission (CO, NY, FL, or CA preferred).

How You’ll Stand Out:

Background in complex infrastructure construction and alternative delivery methods.
Familiarity with federal transportation frameworks and agencies (USDOT, FAA, FRA, FTA, FHWA, STB, Build America Bureau).
A demonstrated passion for public infrastructure, transportation, and public policy.
An entrepreneurial, collegial mindset paired with top-tier communication skills and a love for solving nuanced, non-routine legal challenges.

Compensation & Benefits:

Salary Range: $172,000 – $185,000 (commensurate with experience) + performance/billable bonuses.
Billable Hours: 1,600 annual target (includes unlimited approved pro bono hours).
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, STD, LTE, life insurance, 401(k), parental leave, flexible PTO, as well as some public transit cost coverage, and hybrid/remote flexibility.

The Firm is actively committed to fostering the principles of diversity, inclusion, and equal employment opportunity. We do not discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of age, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, disability, marital status, military status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
