We are looking for a Mid-level Backend Engineer to join the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team at DataSnipper!
In this role, you'll work on core platform services that power authentication, authorization, and access across our product. You’ll help build reliable, secure, and scalable systems that enable all backend teams.
This is a foundational platform role where your work will directly impact every part of the product, including new initiatives like usage and credit management for our AI capabilities.
About DataSnipper:
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.
