Why DataSnipper

Audit and finance are still massively manual and we are 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 are taking things further with our Excel Agent, bringing AI directly into where the work actually happens. Unlike generic AI tools, we do not sit on the sidelines. Our AI operates inside Excel, with access to real documents and audit evidence, meaning it does not just generate answers, it does the work, with full traceability. We are not just applying AI, we are redefining how audit gets done. If you want to build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.

Technical Delivery

Own the LLM gateway: routing, provider failover, rate limits, retries, and cost attribution across multiple model providers

Deploy, version and deprecate models across clouds, regions and environments, including quota and capacity planning, managed as infrastructure as code

Build the shared evaluation platform: versioned datasets, experiment tracking, run and result schemas, reporting, and trace linkage back to the run

Own the infrastructure for async and long-running AI workloads

Reliability, Security & On-Call

Own observability for AI traffic: latency, retries and fallbacks, token usage, cost and errors, per team and per use case

Take part in the on-call rotation, run incidents, and close the follow-ups

Implement the security and compliance controls the platform is held to: retention, access control, RBAC and SSO

Collaboration & Impact

Define and maintain clean integration contracts between the platform and the teams that consume it

Partner with product and ML engineers to turn their requirements into platform capabilities that are self-service rather than a request queue

Must-Have

  • 5+ years in backend or platform engineering, with strong production Python
  • Experience building or running LLM inference infrastructure: a gateway or routing layer with multiple providers, failover, rate limiting and cost attribution
  • Experience with cloud at the infrastructure level and infrastructure as code ( we run across Azure and GCP with Terraform )
  • Experience running a shared service in production: on-call, incidents, postmortems, SLOs
  • Hands-on experience with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Grafana), including instrumenting services and designing dashboards and alerts
  • Comfort with privacy and compliance work: PII handling, anonymisation, retention, access control
  • Experience building platform or shared-service capabilities consumed by multiple internal teams

Nice-to-Have

Experience with LLM or agent evaluation

Temporal or another durable workflow engine

Self-hosted inference, capacity planning, load testing

Synthetic data or document anonymisation pipelines

Document AI: VLMs, OCR, structured extraction and the metrics that go with it

Domain experience in audit, accounting or fintech
