Auditor (all genders) at AI Audit-Tech Startup
Job description
An experienced financial statement auditor joins dnl to shape the company's AI-first audit software, deciding which audit problems to solve and designing how the platform addresses them. The role is for auditors rather than career product managers, and audit experience is required while product management experience is not.

- English – native or near-native, German
What you'll do
- Identify the biggest pain points across the audit process - from planning to reporting - and turn them into new product areas beyond the current setup
- Develop concepts for how the platform expands its coverage and grows its contribution to each audit engagement
- Co-decide the product roadmap with the management team and engineering: validate problems with audit firms, prioritise what to build next and specify the audit logic behind it - including what "correct" looks like
- Translate accounting and auditing standards (IFRS, HGB, ISA, IDW PS) into clear, software-executable logic, decision trees and workflows
- Design review and control mechanisms that keep the auditor in charge - transparency, traceability and professional skepticism instead of blind reliance on AI
- Make sure results fit cleanly into audit working papers and firm methodologies
- Work hands-on with engineering and AI to test outputs, evaluate quality and ship improvements fast
- Be the voice of the auditor in the company and represent dnl with customers, at industry events and in regulatory discussions
What we're looking for
- 6+ years in financial statement audit, ideally at a Big 4 or leading mid-market firm, up to (senior) audit manager level
- A solid understanding of engagement responsibility and liability risk - you know what it takes to sign off
- Strong command of IFRS and/or HGB as well as ISA and IDW PS, and the ability to turn standards into reproducible processes
- Structured, analytical thinking: you can sketch a decision tree and define the right outcome for edge cases
- The ability to explain complex topics simply to engineers, customers and decision-makers
- Hands-on experience with AI tools
- Motivation to reshape the profession, not just to take the next career step
- Native or near-native English - German is a plus
- You are Europe-based
Nice to have
- Experience in product management, audit methodology or audit tooling/digitisation projects
- WP/CPA/ACA qualification or working towards one
Benefits
Creative freedom: ownership from day one in a team with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths; the opportunity to actively shape the development and scaling of the company
First-class team: international and motivated team; despite many different locations, regular (online) team events take place to celebrate joint successes
Development opportunities: the opportunity to start your career in a fast-growing company as well as in Enterprise SaaS Sales, quickly climbing the first steps on the career ladder
Attractive conditions: 30 days' vacation, attractive salary package, a monthly voucher and regular online and offline team events
- Remote Work: flexibility to work 100 % from home from anywhere within Europe
