Company mission
To build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems, transforming business, society, and the planet for the better.
Role
Who you are
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or Accounting with a heavy technical focus
- Experience: 5–8+ years in Audit Transformation, Process Excellence, or Business Systems Engineering
- AI Platforms: Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration (Vellum, LangChain, or Copilot Studio)
- Automation Hubs: Advanced proficiency in Power Automate, Zapier/Make, or n8n
Desirable
- Industry Savvy: Strong background in manufacturing or organizations engaged in government contracting
- Modern Audit Toolkit: Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, DataSnipper or AI-based audit tools (e.g., Alteryx, MindBridge, or custom GPT agents)
- Data: Proficiency in Data Governance, Datawarehouse (Snowflake/DataBricks)
- AI technology is evolving everyday, critical requirements for this role are passion for AI, self learning, willingness to experiment and implement solutions that are pushing the boundaries
What the job involves
- The Process Engineer, Internal Audit is the architect of the modern audit function
- This role is not about performing audits; it is about designing the systems that perform them
- You will engineer, automate, and continuously optimize audit workflows by integrating Generative AI, agentic orchestration, and process engineering principles
- Your goal is to move the department from "point-in-time" manual testing to a "continuous assurance" model that provides real-time risk insights
- Workflow Deconstruction: Analyze and map complex end-to-end audit processes (Risk Assessment through Issue Remediations) to identify "automation-first" opportunities
- Lean Audit Design: Apply Lean/Six Sigma principles to eliminate "waste" in the audit lifecycle, such as manual data entry, redundant evidence requests, and administrative overhead
- Scalable Solutions: Design standardized, modular workflow patterns that can be reused across Financial, IT, and Operational audit domain
- Intelligent Augmentation: Build and deploy AI-assisted workflows using Vellum AI, Copilot Studio, and Claude 3.5/4 to automate:
- Control Mapping: Automatically mapping disparate business processes to COSO/NIST frameworks
- Automated Walkthroughs: Using AI to summarize meeting transcripts and draft narrative documentation
- Anomaly Narrative Generation: Converting complex data exceptions into plain-English audit findings for reports
- Library Management: Develop and maintain a "Prompt Registry" and "Agent Library" to ensure consistency in how AI interacts with sensitive audit data
- Agentic Workflows: Design "Agentic" automations in Microsoft Power Automate or Make.com that can reason through exceptions, route approvals, and update GRC platforms (e.g., AuditBoard, Workiva) without human intervention
- Tool Mastery: Advanced deployment of DataSnipper for automated document matching (e.g., matching 1,000s of Invoices to POs in seconds) and population integrity testing
- Real-time Risk Dashboards: Design and maintain Power BI or Tableau visualizations that provide a live "Risk Heatmap" based on automated testing results
- AI Governance: Ensure all AI solutions are "explainable" and meet corporate Model Risk Management (MRM) and data privacy (GDPR/CCPA) standards
- Validation Controls: Embed "Human-in-the-Loop" checkpoints into every automated process to ensure AI-generated output is validated by a subject matter expert
Our take
IonQ is a quantum computing company; its current quantum computer, the IonQ Quantum Cloud, is accessible through the cloud. An offshoot of the co-founder's 25 years of academic research in quantum information sciences, IonQ hopes to build the world's best quantum computers that can solve complex problems at a much faster rate than traditional computers.
Over the past few years, IonQ has partnered with several major technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google, to make its quantum computers more widely available. Most recently, it partnered with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) to bring quantum solutions to government and defence sectors across the US.
IonQ has also acquired Entangled Networks to bolster its product offerings and has merged with a special purpose acquisition company to become a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "IONQ". The merger brought in substantial gross earnings that IonQ plans to utilise to accelerate its technology development and commercialisation efforts.
