Infrastructure & DevOps Auditing: Expert-level ability to lead technical audits of cloud platforms (AWS, etc.), networking, containerization (Kubernetes), and the security and efficiency of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code.
Data Engineering & Analytics Auditing: Expertise in auditing the integrity, quality, and privacy of both on-chain and off-chain data, including the review of complex data models, ETL processes, and experience in building or overseeing a data analytics function.
ITGC Technical Validation: Demonstrable ability to perform deep, hands-on technical validation of IT General Controls within underlying infrastructure and data pipelines to ensure controls like access and change management are operating as designed.
