One of the biggest myths in tech: More engineers ≠ more output 1 engineer → shipping 5 engineers → meetings 20 engineers → process In most cases, a lean team of high-performing, senior engineers will almost always out-execute a bloated team clogged by communication overhead.

Building Ireland's smartest food safety platform requires speed and a flawless user experience, especially when chasing a major funding round 🇮🇪 mygiene.ie needed a polished platform built fast, while founder Darrin O'Toole was already stretched across product, design, and execution. They were looking for a senior front-end engineer who understood product thinking and could move at startup speed. Index.dev matched them with the right developer on the same day the role went live. The outcomes: → Backlog cleared → First major product milestone shipped → Investor-ready interface, built and ready to show We also kept contracts and payment terms flexible to match the realities of an early-stage startup.

According to Sumsub, deepfake fraud is up 1,100% and synthetic ID fraud is up 300%. Fake profiles don’t look fake anymore. AI can write resumes, fake IDs, answer assessments, and even attend interviews. We rebuilt verification to prove people are who they claim to be, before they join your team. ✅#Identity ⭢ We match government ID to a live video check to stop impersonation and deepfakes. ✅#Assessments ⭢ Tests are live‑proctored, monitored, and screen‑tracked so candidates solve problems in real time. ✅#Background ⭢ We confirm past employers, degrees, and certifications directly with the source. ✅#Skills ⭢ Tested through live interviews and practical tasks, then matched to the exact work they do best. Identity is also re-verified at the start of every engagement. See exactly how we do it 👇 #TechHiring #TalentVerification #EngineeringTeams

You're funding your own slowdown. Every year, enterprises hand 80% of their IT budget to legacy systems that were never built for #AI, never built for #speed, and frankly, never built for now. So, how do you modernize systems that are too big to fail and too complex to replace overnight? In our latest article, we break down 3 very different paths companies are taking 👇 https://lnkd.in/eb5kAAV2 #LegacyModernization #EnterpriseIT #AIAdoption

The startup journey looks very different from the outside. People see launches, funding rounds, and growth charts. What they don’t see are the decisions, mistakes, pivots, and uncomfortable conversations that happen before any of that. Recently, our co-founder Sergiu Matei joined a #FounderTalk at Upcelerator by Dreamups to share some of those realities with the next generation of founders. He spoke about his experience building a company from the ground up, and the less visible side of entrepreneurship: what it really takes to build, adapt, and keep going when things are uncertain. We support programs like Upcelerator because strong startup ecosystems are built through shared experience — founders learning from founders, openly and early 🚀 #Startups #Founders #Entrepreneurship

"The end of software engineering" has become one of tech's favorite predictions. And yet, the companies building AI are still hiring the people they're supposedly replacing. Why? Because someone still has to turn the promise into a #product. Here's what we're seeing at Index.dev: 🎯 AI replaced the typing. Not the thinking. AI can write a function. It can’t own a roadmap, manage legacy migrations, make trade-offs under pressure, or explain to a CTO why a slower decision is the right one. That layer of judgment is still human. 🎯 Senior engineers have never been more valuable. Companies are getting ruthless about talent quality. Demand for senior talent who can architect systems, lead under uncertainty, and use AI without being misled by it has never been higher. 🎯AI creates capacity, not vacancy. Engineers ship significantly faster with AI. But companies aren't building the same thing with fewer people. They're building five times more with the same team. Efficiency didn't create vacancy. It created appetite. The volume of ambition grew faster than the tools could keep up. The verdict:  The more AI writes, the more valuable thinking becomes. We find the engineers who still do it. #TechLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #FutureOfWork

According to ITPro, 31% of enterprise technology is still legacy systems. And 60–80% of IT budgets go just to keeping them running. That leaves very little room for innovation. The real issue is #engineeringcapacity. The engineers who understand the old systems are busy maintaining them. The talent who know how to modernize them are in short supply. At Index.dev, we help close that gap. We give companies fast access to senior AI-first engineers who can modernize complex systems without disrupting day-to-day operations. We support three key areas: ✅Legacy modernization: Safely breaking down monolithic code and rebuilding it into modular services. ✅AI & data readiness: Building data pipelines to unlock data trapped across decades of old systems. ✅Workflow automation: Creating AI tools and copilots to turn your infrastructure updates into real business efficiency. You can either keep spending most of your budget maintaining the past, or start freeing capacity to build what’s next. Let’s get your modernization roadmap back on schedule👇 #EnterpriseTech #LegacyModernization #AITransformation

Beta releases don't wait for hiring processes. Outfit Labs, a venture-backed AI travel startup in Chicago, needed senior React, Next.js, and Kotlin engineers who could integrate directly with their AI systems, work closely with the founders, and help move the product toward beta. Local hiring was too slow. Remote hiring on their own came with too many false starts. Within 30 days, four senior engineers joined their product team. The impact: ⚡ Hit beta on schedule with a full engineering team in place ⚡ Faster iterations and tighter release cycles ⚡ Stable, independent delivery without adding management overhead ⚡ A remote team that works like they've always been there Two of those engineers remain on the team today, taking on broader responsibilities. The right talent at the right moment can change a company's trajectory. That's why we focus on matching senior talent not just to a role, but to the stage, pace, and ambitions of the company behind it. Read how it happened 👇 #AI #EngineeringTeams #TechHiring

Recently, we stepped away from our screens, got on planes, and met in Orheiul Vechi to mark 7 years of Index.dev. People joined from different countries to reconnect, create memories, and spend time together beyond calls and messages. We are a remote-first company, and we love the freedom that comes with it. But some things are better experienced in person: the conversations that happen naturally, the shared laughs, and the stronger connections that remind us why we enjoy working together. Surrounded by nature, we spent the day hiking, playing sports, sharing ideas in workshops, and strengthening the connections that bring us together as a team. One of the highlights was a wine painting session inspired by our R.E.M.O.T.E. values. Working in teams, we brought each value to life on canvas: 💛 Respect 🚀 Extra Mile ⚡ Move Fast 📚 Ongoing Learner 🤝 Team Player 😊 Extra Smile Those paintings will now have a permanent place on our office wall, a reminder that values are not just words. They are how we work, how we support each other, and how we grow together. Remote work allows us to build across borders. Moments like these remind us what holds it all together: people, trust, and shared purpose. Thank you to the team for an unforgettable weekend. Here's to the team behind the mission. 🚀 #LifeAtIndex #RemoteFirst #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture

Speed or stability. For years, engineering teams had to pick one. If you pushed for speed, technical debt piled up. If you prioritized enterprise-grade quality, release cycles slowed down and engineering costs skyrocketed. That trade-off is officially over. With our acquisition of Index Codemotion, we’ve integrated a proven, AI-native development workflow built for real production environments. This isn't about developers occasionally chatting with a bot to fix a function. It’s a fully structured architecture where #AI handles 80% of the heavy lifting directly inside the codebase, while #seniorengineers orchestrate the logic, own the quality gates, and approve every line that ships. The results are already there: ⚡ 2–5x faster delivery from spec to production release 💰 Up to 60% lower development cost for the exact same scope 🐛 Around 80% fewer bugs because automated testing is baked into the pipeline We've already deployed this model to ship complex fintech payment modules, complete product rebuilds, and scalable platforms without trading away an ounce of security or stability.
