About Validio

Validio is the next generation data quality and reliability company. Our next generation data quality platform monitors and validates both data in motion and data at rest across organizations data pipelines. Validio’s mission is to eliminate bad data and enable organizations to be data-driven with confidence. From startups to multi-billion dollar unicorns, Validio is used by data leaders of all sizes. We believe that you shouldn’t have to be an AirBnB, Uber or Netflix in order to have advanced ML-based data quality technology in place. We also believe that modern data teams and data engineers get better ROI by spending their time on other business-critical tasks rather than building and maintaining their own data quality infrastructure.

Here you will work with a senior team of data and engineering professionals with backgrounds from renowned research institutions, leading startups, and established tech companies. Named as one of the hottest start-ups in Stockholm by publications such as Wired, we are gearing up for expansion, and now you can be part of our journey!
