Backend Engineer, IAM

We are looking for a Mid-level Backend Engineer to join the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team at DataSnipper!

In this role, you'll work on core platform services that power authentication, authorization, and access across our product. You’ll help build reliable, secure, and scalable systems that enable all backend teams.

This is a foundational platform role where your work will directly impact every part of the product, including new initiatives like usage and credit management for our AI capabilities.

About DataSnipper:

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.

What you will do:

• Build and maintain core IAM services (authentication, authorization, access management)

• Develop scalable and secure backend systems

• Support the development of usage & credit management systems

• Collaborate with other backend teams to ensure seamless integrations

• Contribute to improving system reliability and performance

• Participate in an on-call rotation (second line after tech support)

What you bring:

• 3–6 years of backend development experience with OOP languages (C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, etc.)

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure)

• Solid understanding of API development

• Experience building scalable systems

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

• Bias to action and sense of ownership

• Ability to work independently on defined tasks and clearly communicate blockers

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot)

• Good amount of experience around testing and various methodologies

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to authentication/authorization systems

• Familiarity with microservices architecture

• Experience with Docker or Kubernetes

• Interest in backend security and platform systems

• Experience working in platform teams

• Experience working in startups or scaleups

What We Offer:

• Be part of one of the fastest-growing, profitable unicorn scale-ups in the Netherlands with a global impact

• Equity (Stock Appreciation Rights) to share the company's success and growth

• Excellent salary package, competitive for top tech talent

• Pension plan with a 6% contribution on top of your base salary

• 28 vacation days per year (full-time) to support your work-life balance

• Hybrid work model with at least 3 days onsite in our dynamic Amsterdam office

• Daily, freshly prepared lunches by our in-house chef to keep you energized

• NS business card for easy commuting to the office

• Access to continuous learning and development initiatives to grow your skills

• Engage with a vibrant international team spread across five global offices

• Company-wide events like DataSnipper GO where global teams come together

• Access to OpenUp, a mental health and wellness platform supporting your wellbeing

• Friday drinks and various social activities are designed for team bonding and fun
