About the role

As a Senior Security & Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the security and compliance posture of our AWS infrastructure end-to-end — from the authorization boundary and continuous monitoring through to the automation that keeps it all running — while driving our FedRAMP authorization forward. You'll act at the intersection of security engineering, infrastructure, and compliance, partnering directly with our compliance lead and engineering team to make security decisions land as defaults rather than review gates.

What they're looking for

  • You've been through a FedRAMP authorization before - Agency or JAB, Moderate or above - and can speak candidly about what actually consumed the time
  • Deep AWS experience and strong infrastructure-as-code fundamentals
  • Comfortable owning both the engineering and the paperwork, you can write a control narrative and also fix the Terraform it describes
  • Experience with SOC 2 / StateRAMP / TX-RAMP, continuous monitoring tooling, and threat modeling
  • Bonus: Node/TypeScript environments, PostGIS, GovTech or public sector delivery
More about this role

Stronger, more resilient communities are built by the people inside government and regulated industries who keep critical infrastructure running. But they're working against real headwinds: fragmented data, field crews without the right tools, and high-stakes decisions made without a complete picture.

Forerunner exists to fix that. We build intelligent software that connects the systems these agencies and firms already rely on, fills the gaps those systems can't, and turns fragmented information into decisions and actions that reduce liability, surface revenue, and prevent small problems from becoming emergencies.
