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 Evidence Request Management 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.\nEvery audit starts with evidence, and getting it from the client is one of the slowest, most manual parts of the job. We are building agentic PBC (\"prepared by client\"): agents that draft requests from the audit plan, chase clients for what is missing, check what arrives against what was asked, and hand confirmed evidence straight to the rest of Alwin. These agents run for days or weeks, react to events from people outside the firm, and must know when to act alone and when to ask a human.\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, and their clients.\nWhat You Will Do\nRequest Agents\nBuild agents that run the evidence request lifecycle: draft requests from the audit plan, assign, follow up, receive, review and close\n\nDesign long-running, event-driven agent behaviour that reacts to client uploads, replies and deadlines over days or weeks\n\nBuild agents that validate received evidence against the request, flag missing samples or wrong documents, and decide when to escalate to a human\n\nWork with the Agent Runtime and Document Intelligence teams on the tools, extraction and evaluation these agents depend on\n\nWorkflow & Platform\nModel complex workflow state reliably across firm and client users: partial deliveries, re-requests, rollovers between engagement periods\n\nBuild the firm- and client-facing experience in React, including notifications, reminders and permissions for external users\n\nConnect requests to the rest of Alwin, so confirmed evidence flows straight into tasks, the workbench and downstream agent runs\n\nImplement security, access-control and audit-trail requirements expected by regulated customers and their clients, aligned with OWASP GenAI\n\nCollaboration & Impact\nOwn features end-to-end in our Python stack (FastAPI, Pydantic, MongoDB) on Azure\n\nInstrument agents in production and use traces (Grafana, OpenTelemetry, MLflow) to drive reliability and accuracy\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 domain 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, retries and fallbacks, human-in-the-loop, not only prompt-and-parse pipelines\n\nExperience building workflow-heavy products: multi-step state, notifications, permissions, ideally with users outside your own organisation\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\nDurable workflow engines (e.g. Temporal) or long-running, event-driven background jobs\n\nDocument processing: OCR, classification, structured extraction and their metrics\n\nExperience with agent evaluation: datasets, offline and online experiments, failure classification\n\nExperience with case-management, ticketing or client-portal products\n\nEmail, file-sharing or ERP integrations\n\nDomain experience in audit (PBC, engagement operations), 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":6098,"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
