Senior Software Engineer – Agent Builder (Alwin by DataSnipper)

DataSnipper is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for the Agent Builder team behind Alwin, its agentic automation platform for audit and finance. The role builds tools for authoring, testing, governing, and operating configurable audit agents, working across backend services and the web application.

Responsibilities:

• Build the authoring experience that encodes a firm's audit methodology into a configurable, multi-step agent
• Design the agent definition model: steps, tools, inputs, thresholds, planning behaviour and human-in-the-loop gates
• Choose the right abstraction for builders, so non-engineers get consistent agents without writing prompts from scratch
• Work with the Agent Runtime team so authored agents compile cleanly onto the base agent, tools and orchestration layer
• Own versioning, publishing and governance in the Agent Library: who may build, publish and run which agent
• Give builders a way to test and evaluate an agent before publishing, working with the Agent Runtime and Evals teams
• Instrument authored agents in production and use traces (Grafana, OpenTelemetry, MLflow) to find where definitions break down
• Implement security, access-control and audit-trail requirements expected by regulated customers, aligned with OWASP GenAI
• Own features end-to-end in our Python stack (FastAPI, Pydantic, MongoDB) on Azure, through to the React web app
• Architect services with clear contracts that other Alwin teams can build on
• Raise the engineering bar through code reviews, mentorship and well-documented technical decisions
• Break down epics and manage ambiguity with product, design and audit methodology experts
