Software engineer · Frontend · Backend · Full-stack · UK
Every UK software developer job, scored against your CV.
Frontend, backend, full-stack — permanent and contract. Flint pulls roles from Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Reed, Adzuna, and Google Jobs, then scores every one against the stack, salary, and seniority on your CV. You see the handful worth applying to, not three thousand keyword matches.
Free to try. £12.99/mo for the full thing. Built by one engineer, in the UK, who got tired of watching LinkedIn Easy Apply go nowhere.

What Flint covers for developers
- Greenhouse. The ATS thousands of UK tech companies post to. We read each company board directly, so the full job description lands in the score — not a truncated aggregator preview.
- Lever & Workable. Two more of the big startup and scale-up ATS platforms. Same direct-from-source ingestion, deduped against Greenhouse so the same role doesn't appear twice.
- Reed. The largest UK private-sector board. Permanent and contract developer roles, agency and direct.
- Adzuna. Wider UK aggregator. Adds the contract and day-rate roles other boards miss.
- Google Jobs. Catches the long tail — company career pages that don't run a mainstream ATS.
All ingested twice daily, deduped, scored against your CV, and staleness-swept so listings that closed last month don't waste your evening. We don't replace these boards. We aggregate and rank them.
Why developers end up here
LinkedIn and Indeed list everything that matches a keyword and leave the filtering to you. The gap is everything that takes the evening: scoring against your actual stack, deduping the agency reposts, sweeping the filled roles, surfacing the salary the advert hid.
| Feature | LinkedIn / Indeed search | Flint Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | One board at a time. Each company's careers page is another tab. | Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Reed, Adzuna and Google Jobs — 100+ boards deduped into one feed. |
| Search shape | Keyword + location, then you read every result yourself. | Every role scored against your CV. The top 5 are the ones worth your evening. |
| Stack awareness | Search 'React' and get everything that mentions React once, including the Java role. | We read your actual stack from your CV and score role fit. A Go engineer isn't ranked against PHP shops. |
| Seniority | A dropdown you set, ignored by half the listings. | Read from your CV. A senior backend engineer doesn't see grad schemes or eng-manager posts in their top 5. |
| Remote / hybrid | 'Remote' often means 'remote, but three days in Shoreditch.' | Work pattern parsed per role and scored against your preference. Hybrid-in-name-only gets caught. |
| Salary | Roughly 40% of dev listings hide the number. | Salary percentile per role, normalised across boards, shown against your expectation even when the advert is coy. |
| Ghost listings | The role that filled in March is still up. | Daily staleness sweep retires closed listings. Reposts flagged in the UI. |
| Agency reposts | The same job run by four agencies, four times in your feed. | Deduped. One role, one card. |
| CV review | None. | Specific fixes grounded in the roles you're targeting. No generic 'add more action verbs.' |
| Cover letters | None. | 20 AI-drafted letters a month, grounded in the job description and your CV. |
| Free tier | Free, but you do all the work. | Top 10 scored matches in a 21-day window, plus a CV review insight. No card. |
When searching it yourself is enough
Honestly: not every developer needs Flint. There are searches where a tab open on two careers pages covers it.
- You're targeting two or three specific companies and already watch their careers pages.
- You enjoy reading every result and filtering the noise yourself.
- You're not job-hunting in the UK — coverage is UK-first.
When Flint is the better pick
- You want every UK developer role scored against your stack, not listed by keyword.
- You're tired of LinkedIn Easy Apply going into a black hole.
- You want the agency reposts deduped and the filled roles swept out.
- You want salary visibility even on the listings that hide the number.
- You want a CV review and cover letters without paying for a separate tool.
Why I built this
I applied to sixty engineering roles and heard back from three.
Most of the sixty I never should have opened. A "Go backend" role that turned out to want five years of Salesforce Apex. Senior titles paying junior money. Four listings for what I'm fairly sure was the same job, run by four different agencies, each with the salary blanked out.
Flint is the thing I wish I'd had. Drop the CV in once, see every relevant role from every board scored against your actual stack and seniority, the ghost listings already swept and the agency reposts already deduped. Greenhouse, Lever, Reed, Adzuna — one feed.
