The role you want may never reach LinkedIn. Watch the careers page itself.
Aggregators index a company's postings on their own schedule, and small or non-corporate employers often never appear at all. The careers page is the source. Watch it directly and you find out when the company publishes — not when someone else gets around to indexing it.
Open the careers page, click Watchbird, and select the listings block. Choose "any change" to hear about every new posting, or "keyword" if you're waiting on one specific title. Add a plain-English condition — "only backend roles" — and the on-device AI will filter accordingly.
Job-alert platforms know exactly which companies you're watching, which is precisely the information you'd least like leaked. Watchbird stores that list in your browser and nowhere else. There is no account to create, so there is no profile to expose.

If a careers page renders its listings entirely through scripts after loading, a background check can see less than your browser does. Keyword mode falls back to whole-page matching to soften this, but a dedicated aggregator will cover many sources at once. Use both: the aggregator for breadth, Watchbird for the ten companies you actually want.
Yes — 10 watches on the free tier, unlimited on Pro.
That's the point. Watchbird watches the company's own page, so you see a posting when the company publishes it.
Yes. Add a plain-English condition when you create the watch, and the on-device AI applies it before alerting you.
10 watches, forever. No account, no card. Pro is a one-time $14 — never a subscription.
