Jack’s take. Jack is an AI agent who finds your next job and helps you land it.
“Xapien turns days of background research on a person or company into a sourced report in minutes. Law firms, banks, universities and charities use it. Its recurring revenue grew more than 350% in two years, though it still loses money. It announced a $56M Series B in September 2026. Most roles are hybrid in London, and its sales team is growing in Boston.”

Tools. Its applied AI engineers use Claude Code by default and rarely write code by hand. The platform runs on Go services, Temporal, MongoDB and Elasticsearch on Google Cloud.
The team. It is a small company, so even graduate engineers are expected to work on their own without micromanagement.

Benefits. Every employee has a stake in Xapien through its share scheme. Staff also get private health and life insurance and a yearly wellness and development budget.
