About Andesite:
Cybersecurity analysts are drowning in an increasingly data-dense security environment. Teams are overburdened. The industry faces a dire talent shortage that threatens the resilience of both government and commercial organizations.
Andesite is building the next generation cybersecurity analyst experience. Our mission is to supercharge the analysts protecting our country’s networks. When analysts work in our advanced AI security analytics platform, they can analyze decentralized data sets at scale and more quickly respond to threats. They become better and smarter, just by doing the things they’re already built to do.
We have deep experience with this problem. Our team is born out of the security community and comes from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences including the CIA, NSA, military, big tech, and start ups.
We are backed by top investors like General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners. After raising a $15M seed round, we are rapidly scaling.
Available Location: McLean, VA (hybrid) or Remote (in United States)

- Audit Development: Create and conduct quarterly internal audits to prepare for third-party and customer audits, focusing on security effectiveness and compliance requisites.

This also includes developing and implementing security measures to protect computer systems and networks.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate cross-functionally across internal functions such as executives, product, engineering, and sales, with the ability to communicate complex technical topics.
- Third Parties: Develop and maintain positive relationships with clients, third-party assessors, and providers to ensure effective communication, timelines, and reporting.
- Thirst for Knowledge: Stay current on the latest or impending revisions to third-party compliance, regulations, and the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, and technologies to ensure audit activities focus on the security posture remaining strong and compliant.
What You Have:
- 5+ years of audit experience, including time at a rapidly scaling startup
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field
- Must have a current CISA (certified information security auditor) or similar professional certification
- Expertise with regulations and standards, such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, CMMC, NIST, ISO, PCI, and HITRUST – preferably in SaaS

- Familiarity with cloud computing and virtualization technologies
- Experience with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools
- Experience working with and assessing vendors and suppliers
- Strong leadership and management skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
