Clients include Omio, Vodafone, Entrupy, and Stuart, as well as companies backed by Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs, and Y Combinator.
Three core offerings cover most engineering needs:
Expert Talent Network, 30,000+ human-vetted engineers from LATAM and CEE, drawn from a database of 2.5 million professionals, matched to your tech stack, industry, and team setup, typically within 48 hours.

Engagement options: Companies can work with individual engineers, dedicated offshore teams, or arrange direct hires. A 30-day trial period applies to all placements, with a full refund if the match doesn't work out.

Index.dev has acted as a specialist recruitment partner for an AI-powered compliance platform. The team has taken the time to understand the client's business, product vision, and specific technical needs.
The client has been pleased with the quality and effectiveness of the engineer that Index.dev has placed. The team has delivered on time, and their communication has been brilliant. The client has also praised the team's ability to listen and understand their needs.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the CEO of Goodley, an AI-powered compliance platform that helps regulated insurance firms understand their obligations, implement the right controls, and stay compliant without relying on expensive consultants.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Index.dev?
We needed to find senior engineers to build out our AI-driven platform.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Index.dev supports us by acting as a specialist recruitment partner, sourcing high-quality engineering talent suited to an early-stage startup. The team has taken the time to understand our business, product vision, and specific technical needs before beginning the search, which has resulted in a strong alignment from the outset. Their main deliverable has been identifying and placing an excellent contractor who is capable of building the initial product and has the potential to transition into a full-time role.In addition to sourcing and placement, Index.dev has handled interviews, background checks, and setting up contracts.
What is the team composition?
We've worked with 2–5 teammates from Index.dev.
How did you come to work with Index.dev?
A friend referred Index.dev to me, and their company values aligned with ours.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Index.dev in March 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The most meaningful outcome has been the quality and effectiveness of the engineer that Index.dev has placed. From the outset, the engineer has demonstrated a strong understanding of our product vision and the complexity of insurance compliance, which has significantly reduced ramp-up time and the need for heavy oversight. This has translated into fast, high-quality execution — core parts of the MVP have been built quickly and aligned closely with the intended architecture and user experience.In practical terms, we've seen progress through the speed of development, the accuracy of what has been built against requirements, and the ability to turn abstract compliance concepts into a working product. The fact that the engineer has been able to operate with a high degree of autonomy and deliver meaningful product functionality early on has been a clear indicator of success.
How did Index.dev perform from a project management standpoint?
Index.dev's project management has been excellent. The team has delivered on time, and their communication has been brilliant. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Index.dev has a very slick operation. The team has listened to us and understood our needs.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything for Index.dev to improve.
