AI-powered talent matching platform connecting engineers to vetted startup roles
Dex is a recruitment platform pairing senior software engineers with venture-backed startups in London. The tech stack—React, Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, PyTorch, Kafka—reveals a company building AI-driven matching at scale, with active projects in voice agents, matchmaking workflows, and low-latency data infrastructure. Rapid hiring velocity (16 roles posted in 30 days, mostly senior/lead engineers and marketing) signals aggressive product expansion and user-acquisition efforts.
Dex connects exceptional software engineers with curated startup and scale-up opportunities in London and beyond. The platform positions itself on three principles: curation (only vet-checked roles from top-tier companies), transparency (salary and terms disclosed upfront), and longevity (ongoing career support across promotions and opportunities). The product sits at the intersection of recruiting and AI—voice agents and matchmaking workflows feature prominently in active development, while the data infrastructure (Kafka, Spark Streaming, low-latency pipelines) suggests the platform is scaling to handle high-volume candidate and role matching. Hiring spans the UK, Belgium, and the US, indicating geographic expansion beyond the London-focused origin.
