About the role

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world's most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations. Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It's a place where you can genuinely make an impact - and be recognized for it. We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers. Your role: Reporting to the Vice President, Finance, the IT Auditor - Application Security, you will evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to application security, secure software development, and DevSecOps practices across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will assess how security controls and secure development practices are implemented across engineering, security, and operational environments, identifying risks, evaluating control effectiveness, and providing actionable, risk-based recommendations to strengthen Global Relay's overall security posture. As part of the Internal Audit function, you'll work cross-functionally with Engineering (Developers & DevOps), Information Security, IT Operations, and Product teams to understand technical implementations and independently assess the effectiveness of application and technology security controls within the environment. You'll primarily focus on application and secure development practices while also supporting broader technology and security audit activities where required.
