CivicPlus, LLC Careers

Description

Your Impact

CivicPlus runs across AWS and Azure, and that footprint has grown through new product work, platform expansion, and acquisitions. This role exists so security architecture keeps pace with that growth. You will set a clear definition of secure configuration, carry it consistently across environments, and make sure new designs are reviewed against it before they ship.

About CivicPlus

At CivicPlus, we strive to bring our company vision to life through innovation and collaboration. Supported by approachable leadership and transparent communication, we’re empowered to make an impact on local government and the residents they serve. Grow your career alongside great people, where authenticity is welcome, successes are celebrated, and potential is nurtured.

What You’ll Do

As a Security & Infrastructure Architect, you will:

• Define what secure configuration looks like across AWS and Azure, covering identity and access, network boundaries, encryption, logging, secrets handling, and workload protection
• Baseline cloud environments against those standards and prioritize findings so teams can work through them in a sensible order
• Turn assessment results into specific, actionable work with enough technical detail that teams can act without a second round of analysis
• Partner with DPRE and SRE so security configuration is built into new cloud services and infrastructure as code from the start
• Review cloud architecture and infrastructure as code changes for security impact before they ship
• Keep cloud security standards current as AWS and Azure change and as the company’s footprint grows
• Define and maintain hardened configuration baselines for operating systems, cloud services, and infrastructure drawing on DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks
• Design how scan and monitoring coverage maps to authorization boundaries so new systems come into scope as they are created
• Draft architecture standards and reference patterns for decisions made repeatedly across the company
• Review proposed infrastructure, platform, and integration designs against architecture standards, raising concerns while designs can still change
• Develop and maintain current state architecture documentation across cloud, identity, endpoints, SaaS, network, and integrations
• Translate security requirements into technical design and configuration guidance IT Operations and DPRE can implement
• Provide the Compliance team with accurate architecture documentation and technical detail needed for System Security Plans and audits
