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.

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.

When Flint is the better pick

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.

Frequently asked

The specific questions developers ask before signing up.

Does Flint match on my actual tech stack?

Yes. The parser reads the languages, frameworks, and tools off your CV — Go, Postgres, React, Terraform, whatever you've shipped with — and the scorer weights role fit against them. A Go backend engineer isn't ranked against a PHP agency role just because both adverts say "engineer". Keyword presence isn't the same as fit, and we score for fit.

Does it cover remote and hybrid developer roles?

Yes. Every role's work pattern is parsed and scored against the preference on your CV. If you want fully remote, the "remote, but three days in the office" roles drop down your list instead of cluttering the top of it. Hybrid-in-name-only gets caught.

Which job boards do you pull software jobs from?

Greenhouse, Lever, Workable and Ashby (the ATS platforms most UK tech companies use), plus Reed and Adzuna for the wider private and agency market, plus Google Jobs for the long tail of career pages that don't run a mainstream ATS. All ingested twice daily, deduped, scored against your CV, and staleness-swept so filled roles don't waste your evening.

Is this just for senior engineers, or grads and juniors too?

Both. The scorer reads your seniority from your CV and ranks against it. A graduate sees junior and entry roles first; a staff engineer sees senior and lead roles, not grad schemes. We also block the bootcamp-bait listings that dress a paid course up as a junior developer opening, which hit early-career applicants hardest.

How is this different from LinkedIn or Indeed for software jobs?

LinkedIn and Indeed list everything that matches a keyword and leave the filtering to you — same role reposted by four agencies, roles filled months ago, salaries blanked out. Flint scores every role against your CV across six dimensions (title, skills, salary, location, seniority, sector), dedupes the reposts, sweeps the ghosts, and shows you the handful worth applying to. You still apply on the original site; Flint just decides what's worth opening.

Do you show salary even when the listing hides it?

Where we can. Roughly 40% of developer listings omit the salary. Flint shows a normalised UK salary percentile for the role and band so you get a realistic number to weigh against your expectation, instead of clicking through to find out it pays less than your current job.

What does Flint cost?
