About internal audit jobs
Internal audit gives independent assurance over controls and risk. Technology, data, and AI audit skills are in rising demand as programs modernize. Jobs like this one are typically evaluated against frameworks such as IIA standards, COSO, NIST AI RMF, and IT and data audit practices.
How to position yourself for this internal audit job
Strong candidates emphasize risk-based audit planning, control testing and evidence, clear findings and remediation tracking, and technology, data, or AI audit depth. In your resume and outreach, tie your experience to how Coinbase would apply IIA standards, COSO, NIST AI RMF, and IT and data audit practices, and lead with concrete outcomes rather than duties.
