We're looking for a Team Lead, Site Reliability Engineering, to lead our SRE team in Amsterdam. You'll own the reliability, scalability, and security of our platform - enabling product teams to deliver value quickly and safely. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set technical direction, drive engineering excellence, and grow a high-performing team.

Why DataSnipper?

DataSnipper is revolutionizing audit and finance through intelligent automation. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve grown into a $1 billion unicorn with a global footprint in over 180 countries.

What You’ll Own:

Technical Leadership

• Lead the design, implementation and maintenance of highly available and scalable infrastructure on Azure
• Set and evolve the team's technical direction for CI/CD, observability, security and infrastructure-as-code
• Architect self-service tooling that empowers product teams to deploy and operate autonomously
• Own the observability strategy end-to-end—define SLIs/SLOs, enforce actionable logs, metrics, alerts, and Grafana dashboards for every service before go-live

People Leadership

• Lead the SRE team day-to-day: set priorities, provide direction, and remove blockers
• Coach and mentor engineers on reliability best practices, career growth, and technical skills
• Create a safe, inclusive environment where the team can experiment, learn, and deliver
• Provide regular, constructive feedback and drive performance through recognition and development
• Facilitate collaboration across teams, resolving friction constructively

Strategy & Execution

• Own and report on key success metrics: Provisioning Lead Time, MTTD, MTTR, Compliance Coverage, Support Toil Duration, and Planned Outage Duration
• Translate engineering strategy into clear team priorities aligned with company goals
• Prioritize work based on business impact
• Drive incident management processes and post-incident reviews
• Ensure compliance with certifications (e.g., SOC 2) and security best practices
• Coordinate with the US-based team to align workload priorities with the platform centralization strategy
