What

Removes the mailto Email CTA and the secondary "YC Work at a Startup" link from each role's details card on /jobs. Each role now has a single primary Apply button linking directly to that role's YC Work at a Startup posting (the same 3 URLs merged in #12248).

i18n

  • Drops the now-unused applyEmailSubject strings from all 19 locale catalogs.
  • applyCta changes from "Email" to "Apply" (localized per catalog); applyAriaLabel loses the "by email" qualifier in all locales.

Tests

  • web/tests/jobs-page.test.tsx updated: asserts the 3 Apply buttons, the YC hrefs, and the absence of mailto:founders@cmux.com and "YC Work at a Startup".
  • Jobs suite green locally: 11 pass, 0 fail, 763 assertions (bun test tests/jobs-page.test.tsx).

Note

Low Risk
Landing-page CTA and copy-only i18n changes with updated tests; no auth, APIs, or data handling.

Overview
Job role pages on /jobs now use one primary Apply button per role that opens the matching Y Combinator Work at a Startup posting in a new tab, instead of a mailto: founders email CTA plus a separate YC link.

job-role-page.tsx drops the applicationEmail / applyHref logic; the details card link uses ycUrl with target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer". All 19 locale catalogs remove applyEmailSubject, retitle applyCta from email wording to localized Apply, and soften applyAriaLabel so it no longer says “by email.” jobs-page.test.tsx expects three Apply buttons, the three YC URLs, and no mailto:founders@cmux.com or “YC Work at a Startup” secondary links.

Walkthrough

The jobs page now sends applications to each role’s Y Combinator URL in a new tab. Email-based labels, subjects, and links were removed from all configured locales. Tests now verify localized apply CTAs and reject email links.

Localized application labels
web/messages/*.json
The three job postings in each locale now use generic application labels. Email subject translations and email-specific wording were removed.
Jobs page validation
web/tests/jobs-page.test.tsx
Tests now expect localized apply CTAs and reject mailto links and the removed secondary link across supported locales.

Use the standard Turkish role form.

Replace roluna with rolüne in both applyAriaLabel values, matching the Chromium Engineer label. These messages provide the accessible names for the reachable Apply links.
