Why Validio
Founded in Sweden in 2019, we're trusted by data-driven enterprises like Nordea, Canva, and Truecaller. Data quality is becoming the foundation everything else — analytics, AI, agents — is built on, and we're defining that category. You'll do the highest-impact technical work there is — making trusted data real inside the world's most demanding enterprises.
Come as you are. We hire for what you'll build with us, and we welcome applicants of every background.
Validio builds an agentic data observability platform focused on data quality, lineage and cataloguing to help regulated and AI-driven organizations trust their reporting and production AI. The platform runs automated monitoring and anomaly detection across large data sets, with features spanning data quality checks, lineage tracking, and a searchable data catalog for cross-functional business and technical users (not just engineers). Unlike tools that target only engineering observability, Validio emphasizes governance and collaboration across teams, serving customers such as Nordea, Deutsche Glasfaser, Canva, Truecaller, Surfshark and AllianceBernstein. The company aims to expand its go-to-market footprint in the US, UK and Northern Europe and continue product development to better support regulated environments and AI-driven workloads.
