About This Role
This role places you at the intersection of technology and governance, acting as the internal watchdog for Ethswitch’s IT environment. Rather than developing software, you will systematically test the strength of existing systems, networks, and applications to ensure they are secure, efficient, and compliant. It’s ideal for a detail-oriented professional with a few years of IT experience who enjoys finding gaps and proposing practical fixes.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The listed qualifications imply the employer is looking for someone who can bridge technical knowledge with structured auditing discipline. A Computer Science degree provides the foundational understanding of how systems work, but the real need is for a candidate who has learned to think critically about risk, not just code. They value the ability to clearly document findings and communicate them to non-technical stakeholders, which separates a pure technician from an effective auditor.
How to Approach This Application
To stand out, emphasize any direct experience you have with internal control testing, vulnerability assessments, or compliance frameworks like ISO 27001. Avoid simply listing your programming or networking skills; instead, describe instances where you identified a weakness or inefficiency and how you helped resolve it. The employer will prioritize candidates who can prove they can translate technical findings into actionable, well-documented reports.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a junior IT professional who is methodical, enjoys structured problem-solving, and wants to build a career in risk management or cybersecurity. Competition will be moderate, but candidates with any prior audit or compliance exposure will have a clear advantage.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
Examine internal IT controls and evaluate their design and operational effectiveness.
Determine exposure to risk and develop practical remediation strategies.
Test and identify Application, network, Security and system vulnerabilities and create effective counteractive strategies.
Review, evaluate, and test application controls.

Assess compliance with internal policies, security standards, and regulatory requirements.
Prepare Audit Program
Prepare audit findings, reports, and supporting documentation.
Follow up on remediation actions to ensure timely resolution of identified issues.
Communicate technical risks and audit findings clearly to relevant stakeholders.
- BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related fields of studies
- 2 years of relevant work experience
