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
