Principal, Internal Audit

About the role

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world's most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

About the Role

Reporting to the Director, Internal Audit, the Internal Audit Analyst supports SOX 404(b) assurance and external attestation readiness across Hut 8, American Bitcoin (ABTC), and Highrise - a broad, multi-entity control environment. This is a hands-on execution role with real technical range: you will test business process and IT general controls across Bitcoin mining, HPC / GPU-as-a-Service, digital asset custody, and derivatives operations, and support the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation programs our data center customers require.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following

• Execute SOX 404 testing - walkthroughs, control design assessments, and operating effectiveness testing - across business process and IT general controls (ITGCs) at Hut 8, ABTC, and Highrise, documenting workpapers to external audit standards under senior review
• Support testing of IT-dependent, cyber, and automated controls across an application landscape anchored on NetSuite, and assist in evaluating SOC reports for key vendors
• Support evidence collection, control operation, and readiness activities for the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation programs required by data center and GPU-as-a-Service customers
• Track remediation of control deficiencies - follow up with process owners on corrective action plans, validate closure, and keep issue status current for reporting
• Use AI-enabled audit workflows (documentation, flowcharting, testing support) while ensuring evidence integrity
• Assist in executing the annual risk-based audit plan; support internal audits across financial, operational, compliance, and IT processes and contribute to clear, well-supported reports
• Coordinate evidence requests and support KPMG during quarterly reviews and the annual financial statement audit
• Support special investigations and ad hoc projects requested by senior leadership or the Audit Committee
