The ideal candidate is a technical authority with excellent client-facing communication skills—someone who brings credibility in technical discussions, can translate complex solutions clearly, and supports our sales and account teams on calls without actively engaging in cold selling. Your presence will help reassure clients, align expectations, and accelerate trust.

Why Join Index.dev

We are officially recognized by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies: in 2024 we ranked 29th overall and 6th in IT & Software among the FT 1000.

We scale faster than market average — enabling us to offer frequent, meaningful opportunities for those who perform.

From Talent Marketplace to Full-Service Software Powerhouse

In October 2025 we completed the acquisition of Codemotion — a seasoned, U.S.-based custom software development company with a 60+ strong engineering team, decades of enterprise-project experience, and clients such as NASA, Neom, and MongoDB.

This strategic move transforms us from a talent-matching platform into a full-fledged software delivery partner: end-to-end solutions, from MVP to production, including CTO-level leadership, project management, design, QA, and scalable engineering teams.

As a result — along with helping hire developers, we’re delivering entire products and complex systems. We now serve clients in 180+ countries, offering broad timezone overlap, flexible staffing models, and a diversity of technical skills and cultural backgrounds.

Our growth trajectory ensures that high-performers don’t just onboard — they accelerate. With access to enterprise-level clients, cross-functional teams, and varied domains (FinTech, Blockchain, Healthcare, AI), talent can grow in ways rarely possible in traditional setups.

Our Vision & Mission: Where We’re Going Next

We are growing fast and have the vision of building the leading software development company in the world.
We believe that remote-first, globally distributed engineering teams are the future.

Our goals include:

1. Expand into a full end-to-end software delivery partner — delivering complete engineering solutions, from CTO-level leadership to full product development.
2. Attract and serve enterprise-level clients — by strengthening delivery quality, project reliability, and compliance to handle complex, high-stakes projects.
3. Deliver speed, quality, and flexibility at scale — ensuring clients get vetted, ready-to-interview talent and high-performing teams with exceptional turnaround time.
4. Sustain rapid, high-quality growth — continuing our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech companies while preserving performance, culture, and delivery excellence.

Giving back is part of our DNA. We donate around 10% of the revenue to support vulnerable groups — including children, women, refugees — and invests in education programs for young students and future IT professionals.

If you’re motivated by scale, impact, complex projects, and global collaboration, Index.dev is the kind of place where your efforts will be amplified.
