Big 4 or external audit experience is a plus. * Demonstrated experience testing controls and documenting those tests against frameworks such as COSO, COBIT, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and SOX ITGC, and working directly with internal or external auditors. * Experience assessing controls in SaaS and cloud-native application stacks, not only traditional on-premise systems. * Working knowledge of identity and access management - SSO, SCIM, RBAC, privileged access, and joiner/mover/leaver processes. * Familiarity with AI governance concepts and the control questions raised by AI tools, agents, and integrations - data handling, access scope, human review, logging, and evidence. * Experience contributing to security policies and standards, and supporting policy adherence or attestation processes, in partnership with a governance function. * Ability to reason about how data flows between product usage, billing, subscription, and financial reporting systems, and where control risk sits in those flows. * Exceptional written and verbal communication, with demonstrated credibility across senior leadership, engineering teams, auditors, and legal. * Ability to use GitLab, or willingness to learn. * Nice to haves: Relevant certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CRISC, or CISM; experience with usage-based or consumption billing platforms, subscription management systems, or in-house metering and entitlement services; experience with compliance automation and continuous control monitoring, or setting standards for AI use in an enterprise environment (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF); prior experience in a Security Assurance or GRC function that supported both corporate IT and product engineering. ## Description * Building a control set for an Engineering-owned billing or subscription system that satisfies SOX ITGC, SOC 2, and customer contractual commitments from a single body of evidence. * Setting the standard for how AI tools, agents, and integrations are used in corporate and business systems - what acceptable use looks like, what evidence is required, and when a use case needs Legal, Privacy, or Internal Audit review. * Automating recurring evidence collection so access reviews and change-management testing stop being a manual quarterly scramble. What you'll do * Design, document, and maintain IT General Controls and security controls across the in-scope estate, and test them for design and operating effectiveness against regulatory, contractual, and corporate policy requirements. * Map shared controls once and test them to serve multiple obligations at the same time - SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, privacy regulations, and customer contractual commitments. * Serve as the compliance point of contact and liaison for the IT, Corporate Security, Engineering, and Finance teams that own in-scope systems, so a single assessment serves Security Governance, Security Risk, Internal Audit, the SOX PMO, Legal, and Privacy. * Help set standards and control expectations for the governed use of AI across corporate and business systems - assess tools, agents, and integrations for control impact, define what acceptable use and evidence look like, and escalate where a use case is SOX-relevant or touches customer data. * Partner with Security Governance on corporate security policy work: contribute and review policy, standard, and procedure content for the systems you act as liaison for, and support policy review, attestation, and Acceptable Use Policy adherence. * Run recurring compliance monitoring - user access reviews, privileged access, segregation of duties, change management, and configuration baselines - on monthly, quarterly, and annual cadences. * Assess system implementations, migrations, and significant changes for control readiness ahead of go-live, and advise Engineering and application teams on control requirements early in design. * Manage SOX ITGC testing and certification requests from internal and external auditors, and direct evidence collection for external audits, automating that collection wherever possible. * Identify, track, and lead remediation of control deficiencies and risks, and recommend improvements to compliance processes, metrics, and reporting across the estate. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Automated Security for the Entire SDLC](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100323-automated-security-for-the-entire-sdlc) - [Build Delightful Mobile Experiences with Kotlin, Realm, and Atlas Device Sync](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/694-build-delightful-mobile-experiences-with-kotlin-realm-and-atlas-device-sync) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
