Our Mission Human time and effort is the rarest thing in the universe. The fact that so many people hate what they do for work is a disaster on so many levels. How many people live quiet lives of misery? How many generational talents do we miss due to circumstance? Dex’s mission is to close the gap between Talent & Opportunity, we believe that work, and being productive, is part of the human condition, that regardless of AI, human passion, ingenuity and a desire to do things means that work will always exist. We are building Dex to create a future where technology helps every individual to understand their strengths, interests and unique abilities, and to connect with opportunities where they can thrive, because more people doing things they love leads to a better, happier and more productive world. We are starting by connecting the world's most ambitious software engineers with the companies that deserve them. About the role We're building an editorial platform: where engineering culture, hiring, and career thinking get treated with the seriousness they deserve. It does not exist yet in its final form - you will shape what it becomes. This is a fractional role, two to three days per week, with the possibility of growing into something larger as the function matures. We are looking for someone rare: a person who has worked as a Software Engineer and can write, with an existing following on Substack or similar. Someone who has shipped production code, understands what a Senior, Staff or Principal engineer actually cares about, and can translate that into content a technical audience trusts and shares with their peers. The Editor sets that standard. You will commission and edit work from our contributor network, write original pieces where the brief demands it, and ensure that everything published (mostly long-form, written content) earns the attention of our high-discrimination, high-agency audience. Critically: you already know the people we want to publish. You have the relationships and credibility to get a yes from the Engineers, Engineering Leaders, and technical thinkers who matter. Names like Dave Farley, Charity Majors, and Gergely Orosz are reference points for the level of voice we are commissioning. You know this world from the inside. In this role you will Own the our voice, editorial calendar and commissioning process. Know what to publish, when, and why. Commission original work from senior technical voices. Use your existing network to bring in contributors who have real credibility with our audience. Edit with conviction. Our contributors are strong writers, and your job is to make their work sharper and more aligned, not safer. Write original work when the moment demands it. Work closely with the Head of Marketing and Head of Growth to ensure editorial output serves both brand and distribution goals and feeds our amplification strategy. Hold the line on quality and editorial bar. About you You have an engineering background. You have written code professionally and understand the technical and cultural reality of being a senior engineer today You are a genuinely good editor. You can tell the difference between a piece that is just competent and one that an engineer would forward to a peer they respect. You have a network. You can pick up the phone or send a DM and get a yes from the people who matter in the engineering world. You know the landscape. Publications like The Pragmatic Engineer, Logic Magazine, Lenny's Newsletter, and Increment are reference points, not discoveries. You have opinions about what they do well and where the gap is. You have strong editorial opinions and you will defend them. You are not looking for a content mill. You want to build something with a real point of view. Why this is a great opportunity We work in an industry with an almost total absence of intelligent, intentional editorial. You'll own our answer to that. You'll build it, with the mandate and the relationships to make it
