I recently was in a job search (early october). I used the following platforms.
Hacker News - By far the best reply rate. I think I got an initial phone screen for about half the places I applied to.
Work at a Startup - I like that it was easy to apply to numerous startups. I also liked that you could put in a statement about why you wanted to work at a company. This also had good reply rates
LinkedIn - The first thing I do is set my LinkedIn to looking for work. You never know when a recruiter will reach out to you with a gem, yes you will have a million amazon recruiters but I think it is worth it. I also browse the positions listed on there. Ok reply rates
Indeed - The lowest reply rate but they do have the most jobs available. They have also gotten much better with remote positions in recent times
As for the job I found, I actually can't remember where I saw the opening. I think it was on here. The process was actually pretty good. The whole process from application to offer took just under one month. It consisted of an initial phone screen with their recruiter, a phone interview with the hiring manager, and two days of virtual on-sites (2-3 hours). For the technical portion of the interview, they give you the option to walk through a project you have already done or a take home assignment.
