## About DataSnipper 🚀

Audit and finance are still massively manual and we are 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 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. We 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.

- Provide support for client requests related to the security topics
- Monitor and respond to security incidents, ensuring timely resolution and appropriate reporting collaborating with the relevant teams
- First responder for the information security requests from the internal DataSnipper stakeholders, escalate where necessary
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve secure development processes

## What You Bring

- 2–5 years of experience in information security, with demonstrated ownership of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and associated audits
- Working knowledge of information security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC reports, ISO 27000 series, COBIT), as well as IT and cloud security audits
- Solid understanding of key security domains, including identity and access management, network and cloud security, and secure development practices
- Practical experience with vendor risk assessments and third-party due diligence
- Practical experience with information security control and testing process
