Senior Backend Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team at DataSnipper!

In this role, you'll be responsible for designing and building core platform systems that power authentication, authorization, and access across our entire product. You’ll play a key role in shaping the architecture of our platform and enabling other teams to build on top of it.

You’ll also contribute to new initiatives such as usage and credit management systems, supporting our AI-powered product at scale.

Audit and finance are still massively manual — and we’re changing that.

DataSnipper is a $1B, bootstrapped unicorn with 600,000+ users across 180+ countries, already embedded in the daily workflows of top audit and accounting firms. Now, we’re taking things further with our Excel Agent — bringing AI directly into where the work actually happens.
Unlike generic AI tools, we don’t sit on the sidelines. Our AI operates inside Excel, with access to real documents and audit evidence — meaning it doesn’t just generate answers, it does the work, with full traceability.

We’re not just applying AI — we’re redefining how audit gets done. If you want to build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.
