About Xapien
What is Xapien?
Xapien builds an AI-powered due diligence platform. Its FAQ says "Xapien is a purpose-built AI-powered due diligence platform. It integrates into your workflow to offer a unique solution for third-party research." The about page says "Dan Secretan and Shaun O’Mahony founded Digital Insight Technologies" in 2018, that the company rebranded to Xapien in 2021, and that it launched commercially in 2022 when Chris Green joined as CEO. A funding release datelined Boston on 11 September 2026 says Xapien serves "multinational corporations, law firms, private banks, and leading universities and nonprofits", with "350 clients and partners in 15 countries", and names Greenberg Traurig, ABB, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance and KPMG among its clients. It reports "Growing 350%+ in Annual Recurring Revenue over the last 24 months". The company's news pages announce three funding rounds: a £4.5m round led by YFM Equity Partners in April 2023 that, in the release's words, "concludes total seed funding of £6m", a $10M Series A led by YFM Equity Partners on 17 July 2024 (total funding then $17.8M), and a $56 million round led by Spectrum Equity on 11 September 2026, in which YFM also took part. Xapien is the trading name of Digital Insight Technologies Limited, a private limited company that Companies House lists as active and incorporated on 8 March 2018.
Where will I work?
Xapien's roles are hybrid, in London or Boston. On 12 November 2026 its Ashby board listed 11 adverts, all tagged Hybrid: 7 located "Xapien London" and 4 located "Xapien Boston, US". The careers page says "hybrid working and access to our WeWork offices means your schedule can meet your needs" and describes two offices, "Moorgate, central London" ("You will find us next to Moorgate station.") and the Seaport District in Boston. No page or advert says how many days a week are spent in an office. The 11 adverts refer to "our UK headquarters" without naming a city, and no page says where the headquarters is; London is the only UK office the careers page describes. The privacy page gives the registered office as St John’s Innovation Centre, Cambridge, which Companies House also shows. The Boston funding release says the money will go to "expanding its Boston office and relocating the CEO and other leaders". The two Senior Account Manager adverts, in London and Boston, ask for someone "Comfortable working remotely across time zones (UK/US) and collaborating with globally distributed teams."
What is the Xapien team like?
The careers page describes the culture this way: "We’re building a cutting-edge equitable tech culture: everyone innovates, everyone hustles, everyone owns." The about page says "We’re a deeply technical fast-growing company that rewards bright minds with hard problems." and describes its staff as "AI engineers, computational linguists, machine learning developers, PhD scientists, Shakespeareans, gymnasts and musicians". The culture page lists principles that include "Take ownership", "Better together", "Transparent", "Move fast", "Value learning" and "A players", and says "We keep our organisation simple, valuing people over policies." The leadership page lists Chris Green as Chief Executive Officer, Dan Secretan as Chief Operating Officer and Shaun O’Mahony as Chief Technology & Product Officer. By Ashby department the 11 open roles are Engineering 3, Sales 5 (three sales development and account executive roles, two customer success roles), Product 1 and Marketing & Communications 2, and one of the engineering roles is a graduate position. The about page says US revenue is 50% of the total and that the company is building out its Boston office.
Work-Life Balance
The careers page says "Oh, and unlimited holidays (yes, it really is uncapped)." All 11 adverts repeat the line as "Unlimited holidays – yes, it really is uncapped – take the time you need, when you need it.", across engineering, product, sales and marketing, and in both London (7 of 7) and Boston (4 of 4). No page or advert gives a number of days, a minimum, a bank-holiday count, weekly hours, core hours or flexible start and finish times. On pace, the careers page says "We believe in rewarding shared endeavour and recognise exceptional commitment." and the culture page says "So we work to ambitious deadlines, launch fast and iterate, always streamline, buy not build wherever possible, and remain decisive amid huge uncertainty." and "Working here should be stretching and exhilarating. We only hire, and keep, the best". Four of the 11 adverts use "fast-paced": both Account Executive adverts say "Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where processes continue to evolve", the Graduate Applied Research Engineer advert says "thrives in a fast-paced environment", and the Senior Technical Product Manager advert says "thrives in fast-paced environments". "High-growth" appears in 5 adverts, "fast-moving" in the SDR US advert and "We’re scaling fast" in all 11. These are candidate-side phrases that describe a startup pace rather than stating hours. No advert mentions weekend work, on-call duty, long hours or shifts.
