About Us
Duco is on a mission to reduce the time spent on data-related work by 90%. Our enterprise data automation platform empowers teams to work more efficiently and meaningfully by giving them the ability to automate data controls with the latest technology, such as no-code, the cloud, and AI.
We help firms to start trusting their data, by giving them one intuitive platform to automate the front-to-back processing of all kinds of data (from structured Excels and RTFs to unstructured PDFs and emails). This eliminates the boring manual work across the data lifecycle and enables firms to act faster, work smarter, save money, reduce risk and comply with regulatory requirements.
We’re headquartered in London and have offices in New York, Wroclaw, Singapore, and Antwerp. We’re proud to call some of the largest global financial institutions our clients, including over 15 of the world’s largest international banks, as well as brokers, exchanges, asset managers, hedge funds, administrators, service providers and corporates.

- Provide incident leadership: Offer senior, hands-on troubleshooting and long-term remediation for major delivery or observability incidents.
- Integrate platform systems: Ensure delivery systems integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes and cloud services.
- Mentor & coach: Elevate team standards and enable self-service capabilities in CI/CD and Observability domains.
- Drive innovation: Evaluate, recommend, and implement new technologies to improve company-wide build performance, observability, and delivery reliability.
