WHO YOU ARE:
You are a technically savvy IT auditor with deep curiosity about how modern systems work — from cloud infrastructure to code deployment pipelines. You’ve moved beyond checkbox audits and bring a risk-first mindset, able to challenge DevOps, security, and engineering teams constructively. You’re fluent in the language of IAM, encryption, vulnerability management, and CI/CD, and you use tools like SQL or Python to dive deeper into control effectiveness. You're comfortable auditing fast-moving, tech-driven environments and see your role as helping the business build secure, resilient systems.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
You will be responsible for working with leadership to plan, execute, and deliver outcomes.
- Audit cloud-native platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for risks related to IAM, network security, storage configuration, and data encryption
- Review CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices to assess deployment and infrastructure security controls
- Evaluate vulnerability management programs, patch cycles, and monitoring processes
- Perform data-driven testing using tools such as SQL, Python, or logs to validate control operation
- Partner with engineering, security, and legal teams on cybersecurity audits, readiness assessments, and incident reviews
- Support continuous monitoring of automated controls in dynamic environments
- Contribute to the enhancement of our internal audit methodology for tech risk, including automated testing scripts
- Draft clear, technical audit findings with practical risk mitigation guidance
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in IT audit, cyber risk, or security engineering
- Demonstrated experience with cloud platform audits (AWS, GCP, Azure), including IAM and configuration reviews
- Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Kubernetes) and the associated risks
- Hands-on experience with or exposure to vulnerability scanners, SIEM, and endpoint detection tools
- Ability to query large datasets (e.g., access logs) using SQL, Python, or scripting tools
- Knowledge of security and audit frameworks such as NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or MITRE ATT&CK
- Clear, technical writing and communication skills to engage with engineers and senior stakeholders
- Certifications like CISA, CISSP, CCSK, or AWS Security Specialty
- Experience working directly with security or DevOps teams
