We work hard to achieve our goals and we believe every team member plays a critical role in moving our company to the next level. If you are ready for the journey of your life, we would love to hear from you!

XONAI is a young, fast-growing company backed by deeptech investors all over Europe that believe in our mission to build the next-generation solution that will revolutionize data analytics and AI.

Our Values

Great companies succeed when their customers succeed, and that starts with building a great culture where everyone has a purpose and thrives.

Take ownership

We believe milestones are best met when each person acts as an owner and drives its own work with full motivation and responsibility. We always strive to set clear expectations for each team member and the company.

Customers first

We succeed when our customers succeed, and their requirements always come first. Our priorities revolve around meeting customers' expectations on agreed time and success metrics.

Do it right

We take more time to do things right rather than shipping half-baked features into production. We want every piece of our solution to work reliably and broadly before we start tweaking things.

Stay ahead

Keeping up with the hottest technology trends requires overcoming inertia. We hire people who have a thirst for knowledge and proactively seek to improve themselves and others around them.

Leandro Vaz

Founder

Leandro, based in London, co-founded XONAI (with Brock Doiron) with the mission to remove fundamental bottlenecks present in very resource-intensive software. He designed and implemented the underlying compiler and execution engine, which, when integrated with big data analytics platforms, delivers market-leading performance across a wide range of standardised benchmarks. Prior to XONAI, Leandro worked from 3-person startups to large startups alike, and gets very easily bored if not being challenged.
