You'll focus on technology, information security, and IT governance audits across our regulated business entities—spanning banking, virtual assets (VASPs), and investment services. You'll conduct technology risk-based regulatory audits, identify infrastructure vulnerabilities, and embed robust technical controls directly into the DNA of our operations.

This isn't standard checklist IT auditing. It's executing high-stakes technology risk operations where your security and regulatory expertise safeguards our entire fintech infrastructure.

Why this matters

Your IT audit work across our regulated entities ensures our infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and core platforms stand up to intense regulatory scrutiny and cybersecurity threats.

Your foresight and strategic insights directly determine whether our high-growth products stay online, secure, and compliant in a heavily regulated global market.

Partner closely with Engineering and InfoSec. Forget working in a silo. You will collaborate directly with software engineers and security architects to foster a culture of risk awareness and ensure robust IT controls are built into daily operations.
Master complex global regulations. Build deep, future-proof expertise in highly demanding frameworks like DORA, local banking IT guidelines, and virtual asset technology requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

What You'll Do

Evaluate internal technology controls across IT governance, system security, and data protection to ensure we consistently meet regulatory expectations.
Conduct rigorous IT audits across regulated banking, VASP, and investment service entities, keeping our infrastructure and DevOps pipelines aligned with the fintech compliance landscape.
Audit specialized core systems, including banking platforms, VASP wallets, cryptographic key management, and algorithmic trading systems to mitigate operational risks.
Identify security and compliance vulnerabilities, proactively highlighting areas for improvement to prevent cybersecurity breaches, regulatory penalties, and system downtime.

Strong technical auditing skills. You have proven experience auditing cloud environments (AWS/GCP), containerized systems (Kubernetes/Docker), IAM, encryption standards, or blockchain tech.
Certified professional. You hold a degree in CS, Cybersecurity, or IT, backed by a CISA certification (CRISC, CISM, or CISSP are big pluses).
Analytical and highly collaborative. You can dissect complex technical architectures, present actionable insights, and speak the language of both software engineers and senior leadership.
Clear communicator. Excellent spoken and written English, with the integrity and discretion required to handle sensitive compliance matters.

The Honest Reality

You will be auditing complex, fast-evolving systems across multiple regulated environments where the compliance landscape is constantly shifting. You'll need to keep pace with everything from traditional banking regulations to cutting-edge blockchain tech, and you must have the confidence to challenge engineering setups when necessary.

The work demands absolute rigor and high technical depth. In return, you'll gain unparalleled, future-proof IT audit expertise across the absolute cutting edge of fintech, crypto, and global banking.
