Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Modern SaaS businesses increasingly rely on internal platform teams to standardise how product engineering ships, scales, and stays secure. This Senior Site Reliability Engineer sits in a Cloud Platform function focused on building an enterprise-grade foundation on Azure, with clear emphasis on automation, identity and access, and observability. For SaaS professionals, that combination signals work that influences multiple product teams rather than a single service, and it reflects the operational expectations that come with widely adopted software.
From a career standpoint, the role strengthens core SaaS infrastructure competencies that remain portable across B2B software companies: designing for high availability, codifying environments with Infrastructure as Code, and building feedback loops through monitoring and alerting. Exposure to Kubernetes, CI/CD optimisation, and on-call practices also develops the operational judgement needed to balance reliability with delivery, a recurring tension in subscription products where downtime directly impacts retention and trust.
This position tends to suit engineers who prefer systems thinking and measurable outcomes, and who enjoy partnering across engineering to set standards rather than only executing tickets. It also fits someone ready to mentor and influence technical direction while staying hands-on with cloud tooling and incident response.

Job Description
We are looking for a skilled and passionate Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the Cloud Platform team, which empowers DataSnipper’s growth through a secure and scalable enterprise cloud platform. 🚀
As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer you won’t just maintain systems you’ll architect robust solutions that push the boundaries of cloud infrastructure, automation, and user management.
This is your chance to own critical components at the intersection of cloud engineering, DevOps, and platform reliability - working hand-in-hand with talented cross-functional teams to accelerate delivery, automate complex pipelines, and implement cutting-edge monitoring and scaling strategies.
Why 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’ll Own:
• Lead the design and implementation of highly available, resilient, and scalable cloud infrastructure on Azure
• Drive automation by architecting and optimizing CI/CD pipelines that enable seamless, rapid software delivery
• Mentor and coach teams on best practices in reliability, availability, and infrastructure automation
• Build advanced monitoring, alerting, and observability platforms using tools like Prometheus and Grafana to gain deep operational insights
• Manage container orchestration with Kubernetes, ensuring optimal resource use and smooth scaling
• Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates and automation scripts using Terraform to provision and maintain cloud resources with precision
• Participate in an on-call rotation
What You Bring:
• 5+ years in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or infrastructure engineering roles, with a solid track record of delivering complex, large-scale cloud solutions
• Deep hands-on experience with cloud platforms—Azure expertise preferred, but experience with AWS or GCP is valuable
• Mastery of CI/CD tools and pipelines, ideally with Azure DevOps or equivalents, driving automation and reliability
• Practical knowledge of container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, with a keen understanding of cloud-native architectures
• Strong problem-solving skills to debug and troubleshoot intricate issues across cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and application environments
• Proficiency in modern object-oriented programming languages and AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor
• Collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills, able to bridge technical and business domains effectively.
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
