Working in a bootstrapped and profitable scaleup, you'll have the unique opportunity to lead a team building the intelligence layer that automates the assurance lifecycle and brings AI directly into the workflows of auditors worldwide.\nWhy DataSnipper?\nAudit and finance are still massively manual, and we're changing that.\nDataSnipper 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.\nUnlike 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.\nWe're not just applying AI, we're redefining how audits get done. If you want to build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.\nWhat You Will Do\nLead an engineering team through outcomes, not tasks; set clear goals with the team and trust them to figure out how.\n\nMake the team measurably better; raise the engineering bar, grow engineers into bigger problems, and address performance issues directly when they arise.\n\nDrive a step change in what the team can do with AI; not just shipping faster, but tackling harder problems, raising quality, and expanding what the team can credibly own.\n\nLead the team responsible for building AI-powered agents that automate assurance workflows, from risk assessment and evidence gathering to control testing and documentation generation.\n\nOwn the technical direction and architecture of the Excel Agent platform, ensuring agents are reliable, observable, secure, and effective in real customer workflows.\n\nGuide the team in designing and scaling agentic systems that combine LLMs, document intelligence, business workflows, and human oversight.\n\nPartner closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering teams to shape the roadmap and translate customer needs into impactful AI experiences.\n\nMake the architectural and technical calls that shape the team's systems, and stay close enough to the code to do so credibly.\n\nLead the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices and contribute to how DataSnipper leverages AI across the broader engineering organization.\n\nHelp shape the team's scope as it evolves, including expanding ownership areas and standing up new teams when needed.\n\nFoster a culture of experimentation, learning, documentation, and operational excellence.\n\nWhat You Bring\nAt least 3 years of leading and managing engineering teams, driving performance, growth, and professional development through hands-on mentorship, feedback, and goal setting.\n\nMinimum 5 years as a software engineer with a passion for building scalable, reliable, and high-quality software systems.\n\nTrack record of leading engineering teams that build with AI day to day, and making those teams measurably more effective as a result.\n\nExperience building AI-powered products or platforms, ideally involving LLMs, agentic workflows, document processing, or automation systems.\n\nAn empowerment style of management; you lead through outcomes and trust, not by assigning tasks.\n\nStrong product aptitude; can challenge product framing, translate customer needs into technical solutions, and make effective roadmap tradeoffs.\n\nStrong understanding of software architecture, distributed systems, APIs, and cloud native development.\n\nExperience operating systems in production with a focus on reliability, observability, and maintainability.\n\nA track record of growing engineers and creating high-performing teams.\n\nStrategic thinker; able to shape product direction, technical direction, and team scope, not just execute on what's handed down.\n\nEntrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving scale-up environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building and deploying GenAI applications in production.\n\nExperience with agentic systems, orchestration frameworks, or AI-powered workflow automation.\n\nExperience with Python and modern backend development practices.\n\nFamiliarity with Azure AI services, document intelligence, and cloud infrastructure.\n\nExperience with observability and monitoring tools.\n\nExperience working in startups or scaleups.\n\nExperience in fintech, audit technology, or document-intensive workflows.\n\nStrong understanding of testing strategies and engineering quality practices.\n\nWhat We Offer\nBe part of one of the fastest-growing, profitable unicorn scale-ups in the Netherlands with a global impact\n\nEquity (Stock Appreciation Rights) to share the company's success and growth\n\nExcellent salary package, competitive for top tech talent\n\nPension plan with a 6% contribution on top of your base salary\n\n28 vacation days per year (full-time) to support your work-life balance\n\nHybrid work model with at least 3 days onsite in our dynamic Amsterdam office\n\nDaily, freshly prepared lunches by our in-house chef to keep you energized\n\nNS business card for easy commuting to the office\n\nAccess to continuous learning and development initiatives to grow your skills\n\nEngage with a vibrant international team spread across five global offices\n\nCompany-wide events like DataSnipper GO where global teams come together\n\nAccess to OpenUp, a mental health and wellness platform supporting your wellbeing\n\nFriday drinks and various social activities are designed for team bonding and fun\n\nAt DataSnipper, we believe great ideas come from different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
