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.

About the role

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.

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 foster an AI-enabled product and design team at DataSnipper

• Create and maintain AI design / vibe coding environments using tools like Figma MCP, Claude Code, and others you find valuable

• Help build our AI SDLC, specifically for the design steps

• Set up and manage repositories for AI-led design

• Own and evolve the frontend of our design system, ensuring scalability and consistency

• Connect the design system with tools so designers, engineers, and product managers can all actively use and experiment with components

• Establish strong collaboration channels between design, engineering, and product teams

• Work closely with designers, teaching them code while they generate user insights you can leverage in development

• 3–5 years of experience in design engineering, frontend development, or a similar role
