Data is at the heart of everything we do: Xceptor has been designed around data manipulation in its broadest sense. We source data from wherever it flows. We curate, normalise, validate, repair, and enrich that data so it reaches its destination in a reliable and consistent format. Data coming out of Xceptor is data our clients can trust.
We are recognised as an expert in the Financial Services vertical, which strongly aligns with Business Users in Middle and Back-Office teams. We enable these users to solve their data challenges by themselves, rather than through a technology-led project.
Our mission is to empower business users within financial institutions to build automated processes that deliver trusted data.
Our values are:
Business area and team
The development team is responsible for building the Xceptor platform and products. We create innovative features and great user experiences that help our users within Financial Institutions to build automated processes that deliver trusted data.
Our development teams are in the United Kingdom (Guildford) and South Africa (Cape Town). Xceptor operates with an AI-first PDLC. AI tools accelerate how we design, build, test, document, and operate platform capabilities, with humans providing intent, constraints, verification, and accountability.
As a Performance Engineer at Xceptor, you are passionate about software quality and performance. You work closely with engineering teams to ensure product features meet performance expectations — creating test plans, scripting and executing tests, and analysing results to support continuous improvement.
This is an AI-first performance engineering role. You use AI daily to accelerate test script generation, performance report creation, and results analysis. AI can draft; you verify, harden, and operationalise — so the performance engineering practice becomes faster, smarter, and more scalable over time.
This role exists to ensure the Xceptor platform performs reliably and efficiently at scale by identifying performance issues early, establishing clear baselines, and championing a culture of performance awareness across engineering teams.
• Design, deployment, and maintenance of performance testing environments, including end-to-end troubleshooting and issue resolution
• Database performance analysis and optimisation, including query tuning, execution plan review, and bottleneck identification
This role is measured on outcomes and how they're achieved: reliable performance signals, efficient test delivery, and improved engineering confidence through an AI-first approach.
We believe great ideas come from everywhere — and that the best teams are made up of people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. At Xceptor, we’re committed to building a workplace where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to be themselves.
We know that not everyone ticks every single box in a job description — and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role and think you could make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Your unique skills and experiences might be just what we need, even if you don’t meet every requirement.
We celebrate diversity and are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for all employees — regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or background.
We love the buzz of the office and the flexibility of home—so at Xceptor, you get the best of both. Our people spend 2-3 days per week in the office collaborating, brainstorming, and connecting in person. The rest is up to you. It’s all about great teamwork, balanced with the freedom to work your way.
Please note:
Our mission is to empower financial services companies to build automated processes that deliver trusted data and create better customer outcomes. At the same time, we aim to increase our clients’ productivity, reduce their time-to-market, and optimize their operational processes.
Essentially, we make the lives of our clients, and their customers, easier. Our platform and products provide financial services teams with the digital skills they need to succeed in the digitized world we now live in. Automated data is fast becoming a critical necessity for financial institutions as demand for trusted data automation grows. As trade volume increases, so does the number of transactions that are processed. This creates the need for increasingly complex regulations. As such, decoupling data from processes is no longer a viable option for financial services companies. That’s why we’ve created a platform that automates the processing of data while ensuring all compliance is met. In turn, we deliver a higher return on our clients’ investments along with faster times to market.
We understand the evolving needs of the markets, and so we’re able to provide our clients with products that enhance the most critical and complex processes, all through an exceptionally configurable platform. Our products help companies convert structured, semi-structured and unstructured, multiple-format and fragmented data into trusted, reliable sources. The comprehensive, end-to-end nature of our products has enabled us to become a leader in the financial services market.
