We're looking for a Team Lead, Site Reliability Engineering, to lead our SRE team in Amsterdam. You'll own the reliability, scalability, and security of our platform—enabling product teams to deliver value quickly and safely. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set technical direction, drive engineering excellence, and grow a high-performing team.

Audit and finance are still massively manual — and we’re 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’re taking things further with our Excel Agent — bringing AI directly into where the work actually happens.
Unlike 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.

We’re not just applying AI — we’re redefining how audit gets done. If you want to build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.
