We support critical domains across identity, access, infrastructure security, enterprise systems, and internal productivity.\nAs OpenAI grows, audit readiness and control assurance increasingly depend on reliable data: accurate system inventories, access populations, change records, configuration state, exception signals, and evidence generated directly from source systems. Our goal is to move beyond manual evidence collection and build scalable data products, automated validation, and continuous control monitoring that make security and IT controls measurable, repeatable, and defensible.\nAbout the Role We are looking for an IT Controls Data Engineer to build the data infrastructure that powers audit readiness, IT controls, evidence automation, and continuous control monitoring.\nIn this role, you will design and maintain the pipelines, datasets, models, validation logic, dashboards, and evidence exports that make IT controls measurable, repeatable, and defensible. You will work across Security, IT, Infrastructure, Engineering, Finance Risk Management, and auditors to turn complex system behavior into reliable control data products.\nThis is a technical builder role. The ideal candidate is strong in data engineering and analytics engineering, comfortable working with enterprise and security system data, and able to explain data lineage, source-system behavior, and control logic clearly to technical and audit stakeholders.\nResponsibilities Building reliable data pipelines, models, and datasets for IT controls, including access, identity, configuration, change, ticketing, exception, and evidence data.\nCreating data quality, lineage, reconciliation, and completeness checks that make control data defensible for SOX and other audit use cases.\nDesigning automated evidence generation workflows that produce complete, accurate, and repeatable audit populations, exports, dashboards, and control artifacts.\nDeveloping control monitoring logic to detect drift, missing evidence, stale access, direct system changes, overdue activity, and other control exceptions.\nPartnering with Security, IT, Infrastructure, Engineering, Risk Management, and system owners to understand source systems, validate data, and improve automation reliability.\nTranslating technical system behavior, data flows, access models, and validation results into clear explanations for auditors, control owners, and technical stakeholders.\nQualifications Strong data engineering, analytics engineering, or software/data systems experience, including building reliable datasets, pipelines, queries, dashboards, or automated reporting workflows.\nHands‑on SQL experience and proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language such as Python.\nExperience working with enterprise system data, such as identity platforms, HR systems, ticketing systems, cloud environments, source control systems, SaaS applications, or audit/compliance tooling.\nStrong understanding of data modeling, lineage, completeness, accuracy, reconciliation, validation, observability, and repeatability.\nAbility to reason through messy source‑system data, inconsistent identifiers, nested groups, stale records, missing owners, direct assignments, and downstream application drift.\nExperience supporting security, IT controls, SOX, audit readiness, risk, compliance, or regulated technology environments.\nAbility to explain technical systems, data flows, and control logic clearly to both engineering and audit stakeholders.\nStrong ownership, judgment, and attention to detail in high‑stakes, time‑sensitive environments.\nNice to Have Experience with Entra ID, Workday, GitHub, Databricks, Salesforce, or similar platforms.\nExperience with cloud infrastructure environments such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.\nYou Might Thrive In This Role You like turning messy operational processes into clean, repeatable systems.\nYou enjoy working at the intersection of data, controls, engineering, and audit.\nYou can go deep technically, but also explain your work clearly to auditors and executives.\nYou care about evidence quality, data integrity, and defensible documentation.\nYou are energized by building automation that reduces manual effort and improves control reliability.\nYou can partner with engineers without slowing them down, while still maintaining a strong control standard.\nAbout OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general‑purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
