AI Design Engineer

At DataSnipper, we’re transforming the way audit and finance teams work and design plays a critical role in that mission. As AI rapidly reshapes the design and development landscape, we’re evolving with it.

We’re looking for a Design Engineer who thrives at the intersection of design, frontend development and AI. Someone who can empower teams, accelerate experimentation, and help us build smarter, faster, and better products.

As a Design Engineer, you will be a key enabler for our UX and product teams. Helping them ideate, prototype, and ship high-quality experiences at speed. You’ll bridge the gap between design and engineering, making it easier for teams to turn ideas into reality.

You’ll also play a central role in shaping how we use AI in our workflows, creating environments where teams can “vibe code” their way through challenges and continuously gather feedback.

Your work will directly contribute to freeing up more time for meaningful user research and deeper product insights.

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.
