Auditor II
Company:
Compliance Foundry | Comperis Cybersecurity | Fixpliance AI
Location:
Vadodara, Gujarat, India (In-Office Required)
Employment Type:
Full-Time
Level: IC4 - Individual Contributor (Compliance/Security)
About Us
Compliance Foundry, Comperis Cybersecurity, and Fixpliance AI form a unified group delivering Managed Compliance as a Service and Security Engineering as a Service to SMBs across fintech, healthcare, and SaaS. We help international clients build and maintain security postures through expert engineering, compliance frameworks, and our proprietary FixplianceAI platform.
We are a lean, founder-led organization where technical talent works directly with the CEO and engages with international clients daily. This is not a back-office role. It is a delivery-oriented position at the intersection of regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and managed audit services.
About Vadodara, Gujarat
Vadodara, often called the "Cultural City of India (Sanskrutik nagri)," is a historic center of learning and arts located in Gujarat. Home to several leading universities and educational institutions, the city offers a vibrant, diverse, and metropolitan community alongside a strong reputation for safety, cultural heritage, and low crime rates. With a significantly lower cost of living than major Indian metros, the city offers an excellent quality of life and is home to major companies such as Mastercard, Larsen & Toubro, and Tata Advanced Systems. The city's strategic location provides seamless connectivity via Vadodara Airport (flights to major Indian and international hubs) and Central Railway Station (direct rail access to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and other key business centers).
The Role
We are hiring an Auditor II (IC4) to serve as the primary compliance and audit point of contact for assigned international managed audit clients.
This role is 80% client-facing and 20% internal, requiring a practitioner who can independently assess, document, and advise on compliance postures across multiple regulatory frameworks and business verticals.
You will own entire audit domains (e.G., Access Control, Cryptography, Incident Response) for assigned clients. You will lead audit engagements end-to-end: from scoping and control mapping through evidence collection, gap analysis, remediation recommendations, and audit closure. You will report directly to the Technical Founder and CEO, participate in engagement strategy, and collaborate with security engineering and product teams.

Internal Collaboration (20%)
Collaborate with security engineering teams to understand implemented controls and evidence availability
Provide product feedback based on field experience with FixplianceAI and client audit needs
Contribute to runbooks, audit program documentation, and internal knowledge base expansion
Participate in Agile ceremonies and sprint planning
Support junior auditors and audit team development through mentorship and code review
