Internal Control Specialist – Focus on IT Processes, Risks and Controls

What You Will Be Doing

• As an Internal Control Specialist focused on IT processes, risks, and controls, you will play a hands-on role evaluating, testing, documenting, and improving the internal control environment across CloudWalk’s technology ecosystem. You will work closely with Engineering, Cybersecurity, Product, Data, and Operations to ensure our systems are robust, compliant, and built for scale.
1. IT Control Testing & Monitoring
• Execute design and operating effectiveness testing forIT General Controls (ITGCs), including:
• Access management, Change management, Logical security, Backup and recovery, Job scheduling and batch processing, IT operations processes
• Evaluate system configurations, control evidence, and logs to ensure controls function as
• intended.
• Track deficiencies and validate remediation activities.
2. IT Risk & Control Assessments
• Support control assessments of key systems, applications, and infrastructure components.
• Map technical processes, identify risks, and evaluate control adequacy.
• Assist in assessing risks related to:
• Cloud infrastructure, APIs and integrations, Data flows and data governance, Third-party service providers, System reliability and operational resilience
• Help ensure assessments align with Internal Control frameworks, CloudWalk’s environment, and regulatory expectations.
3. Technology Process Documentation
• Document IT processes, controls, workflows, and system dependencies.
• Maintain updated IT control matrices and ensure alignment with system or architectural
• changes.
• Support version control and documentation governance with Engineering teams.
4. Incident & Deficiency Analysis (IT Focus)
• Assist in analyzing control-related IT incidents, outages, or process failures.
• Support root cause analysis focusing on technology or control design issues.
• Ensure corrective actions strengthen the underlying IT control environment.
5. Collaboration with Engineering & Security
• Work closely with Engineering squads, SRE, DevOps, and InfoSec to embed control requirements into technical processes.
• Support the adoption of automation and tooling to improve control reliability.
• Help promote secure development practices, change governance, and system integrity.
6. Governance, Reporting, and Continuous Improvement
• Assist in preparing dashboards, metrics, and reports on IT control health.
• Monitor remediation plan progress and systemic trends.
• Identify opportunities for control automation, continuous monitoring, and smarter testing
• approaches

What You Need to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Computer Science, or related
• fields.
• Experience withIT controls, IT risk, internal controls, audit, cybersecurity, or
• technology governancewithin fintechs or financial institutions.
• Experience withSOX environments, ITGC testing, and SOX documentation
• standardsis a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with control and risk frameworks such as:
• COSO, COBIT, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ITIL
Technical Skills
• Understanding of ITGCs, SDLC, DevOps practices, infrastructure (cloud-native), databases, and API-driven architectures.
• Ability to evaluate log evidence, system configurations, access controls, and change management processes.
• Strong documentation and analytical skills.
• Experience working with Jira, Confluence, Git, cloud platforms, or monitoring tools is a bonus

The Future We See

• As CloudWalk builds an AI-powered financial ecosystem, the Internal Controls function will evolve toward:
• Automated control monitoring
• AI-based anomaly detection
• Integration of controls into CI/CD pipelines
• Predictive identification of technology risks
• Control-by-design embedded in engineering workflows
• This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection oftechnology, risk, and
• governance, and who wants to help shape the future of a fast-scaling fintech
