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.\nNow, 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.\nWe 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.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in our New York office to join the Agent Builder team behind Alwin, our Agentic Automation Platform for audit and finance. Alwin agents run multi-step audit procedures over client evidence and return finished workpapers with every number traced back to source. Humans plan, review and sign off.\nAgent Builder is where firms encode their methodology into agents. Methodology and quality teams describe how a procedure should execute; you build the product that turns that into a governed, versioned agent their whole firm can run consistently, every time. The problems are largely open: there is no playbook for letting auditors author production agents in a regulated domain, so you will help write it.\nThis is a hands-on role in a team that moves fast and holds a high bar. Your work goes in front of hundreds of thousands of audit and finance professionals at the world's largest firms.\nWhat You Will Do\nAgent Authoring\nBuild the authoring experience that encodes a firm's audit methodology into a configurable, multi-step agent\n\nDesign the agent definition model: steps, tools, inputs, thresholds, planning behaviour and human-in-the-loop gates\n\nChoose the right abstraction for builders, so non-engineers get consistent agents without writing prompts from scratch\n\nWork with the Agent Runtime team so authored agents compile cleanly onto the base agent, tools and orchestration layer\n\nGovernance & Quality\nOwn versioning, publishing and governance in the Agent Library: who may build, publish and run which agent\n\nGive builders a way to test and evaluate an agent before publishing, working with the Agent Runtime and Evals teams\n\nInstrument authored agents in production and use traces (Grafana, OpenTelemetry, MLflow) to find where definitions break down\n\nImplement security, access-control and audit-trail requirements expected by regulated customers, aligned with OWASP GenAI\n\nCollaboration & Impact\nOwn features end-to-end in our Python stack (FastAPI, Pydantic, MongoDB) on Azure, through to the React web app\n\nArchitect services with clear contracts that other Alwin teams can build on\n\nRaise the engineering bar through code reviews, mentorship and well-documented technical decisions\n\nBreak down epics and manage ambiguity with product, design and audit methodology experts\n\nWhat You Will Bring\nMust-Have\n6+ years in software engineering, with strong, production-grade Python\n\nHands-on experience building and operating agentic systems in production: control loops, tool calling, planning versus execution, retries and fallbacks, not only prompt-and-parse pipelines\n\nExperience with LLM APIs and agent frameworks across more than one model provider\n\nSolid experience building data-driven web APIs on a major cloud platform\n\nStrong fundamentals in software architecture, system design and data modelling\n\nA track record of owning product features end-to-end, including frontend work in React or a similar framework\n\nExperience with testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E) and a quality-first mindset\n\nProficient with AI-assisted engineering (we use Claude Code)\n\nExcellent communication; you can work directly with auditors and product partners to define what \"correct\" means\n\nNice-to-Have\nExperience building low-code / configuration products, workflow designers, rule engines or DSLs\n\nExperience with agent evaluation: datasets, offline and online experiments, failure classification\n\nExperience with versioning, permissions and publishing in a multi-tenant platform\n\nDurable workflow engines (e.g. Temporal) or multi-agent orchestration in production\n\nDocument processing: OCR, classification, structured extraction\n\nDomain experience in audit methodology, accounting or fintech\n\nWhat We Expect\nOwnership: You own work end-to-end, anticipate issues, and ensure high-quality delivery without close supervision. We expect you to influence the technical direction of the team.\n\nGrowth Mindset: You encourage open feedback exchange and provide clear, balanced feedback that helps others grow\n\nCollaboration: You build strong cross-functional relationships and influence peers through expertise, data, and empathy\n\nAdaptability: You navigate ambiguity calmly, model positive behavior, and help peers adjust through clear communication\n\nJudgment: You exercise sound judgment in ambiguous situations, balance speed and accuracy, and adjust priorities proactively\n\nWhat we offer\nExcellent salary + stock participation plan\n\nFlexible paid time off\n\nComprehensive medical and dental coverage\n\n401K match\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nCompany-sponsored lunch\n\nHybrid mode of work (at least 3 days onsite in our New York City office)\n\nBeing part of one of the fastest-growing scale-ups in the Netherlands\n\nMake an impact by disrupting the finance industry with us\n\nA flexible and growing organization with lots of opportunities to learn and develop\n\nInternational working environment, with a team of friendly and driven colleagues\n\nAccess to OpenUp and Talkspace, the mental health and wellness platform\n\nMultiple social activities for team building","description_format":"text","description_chars":5836,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Hybrid work","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Document AI","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T23:43:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":235000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/datasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/datasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T11:57:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16852,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4724},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4724"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdatasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdatasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdatasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/datasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdatasnipper-senior-software-engineer-agent-builder-alwin-by-datasnipper"}]}
