About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as a trusted Internal Audit point of contact for IT control owners across Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and IT Operations. Bridge the gap between audit methodology and engineering culture — these teams speak a different language than accountants, and you need to be fluent in both.
Contribute to Internal Audit reporting to the Audit Committee, external auditor, and senior leadership on IT SOX testing coverage, findings, and remediation status.
Partner with the business process SOX tester and co-sourced resources to ensure coordinated testing coverage across the full SOX program.
8+ years of experience in IT audit, internal audit, external audit, or SOX compliance, with significant exposure to IT general controls testing.
Experience in crypto, fintech, payments, or technology-intensive environments with complex, rapidly evolving infrastructure.
CISA and CPA certifications required. Candidates with one certification who are actively pursuing the other will be considered.
Strong knowledge of ITGC frameworks, SOX compliance requirements, COSO, COBIT, and PCAOB auditing standards as they apply to IT controls.
Hands-on experience testing ITGCs across access management, change management, and system operations.
Technical fluency with enterprise technology environments — you don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to understand how systems, databases, and deployment pipelines work to effectively test the controls around them.
Understanding of how IT controls underpin the reliability of financial reporting — you can connect an ITGC failure to its downstream impact on business process controls and the financial statements.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Independently validate the remediation of open SOX findings, including material weaknesses and significant deficiencies, across ITGC control areas.

Assess whether management’s remediation actions are adequately designed and operating effectively before closing findings.
