> Contractor role translating SOX testing judgment and methodologies into AI agent prompts, decision rules, evaluation criteria, and scalable product workflows. Requires 4+ years hands-on SOX control testing experience, strong reasoning skills, and comfort with AI tools.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Partner closely with engineering, product, and design teams to translate real-world SOX testing processes into scalable product capabilities.
- Co-develop AI agents with AI engineers to execute detailed SOX testing by translating SOX testing methodology into specific guidance, decision rules, and examples.
- Work hands-on with AI agents: write and refine prompts, run controls and evidence through testing workflows, evaluate outputs, and document failure modes.
- Analyze risk and control matrices and test plans to identify opportunities for improved agentic testing.
- Develop stress-test scenarios, review and assess AI agent performance, and create detailed error analyses and evaluation criteria.

## What We’re Looking For
- At least four years of hands-on control testing experience in SOX compliance, internal audit, or internal controls, with direct responsibility for control design and testing.
- Broad experience across a range of control types, industries, and firms, with clear expertise in business process control testing.
- The ability to consistently explain why a test step, exception, or conclusion passes or fails and to turn that reasoning into clear evaluation criteria.
- Strong written reasoning: you can explain workflows and decisions step by step and turn professional judgment into clear rules, edge cases, and review criteria.
- A high degree of comfort and hands-on experience using AI tools, writing prompts, and working with agentic harnesses.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, testing ideas quickly, and changing your approach when the evidence does not support it.
- Availability for the expected time commitment during the initial engagement.

## What We’d Love to See
- Experience at the senior or manager level reviewing SOX workpapers or coaching testers.
- A CPA, CIA, or similar relevant credential.
- Experience across multiple companies, clients, industries, or control environments.
- Familiarity with both business process controls and ITGCs.
- Demonstrated interest or experience in creating AI workflows or tools of any kind.
