Cloud-based government software for elections, grants, and compliance
Civix builds SaaS solutions for state and local government across elections, grants management, business registration, and ethics compliance. The tech stack is heavily .NET/C# on AWS with React/Angular frontends, and the company is actively modernizing legacy monoliths into microservices while scaling cloud infrastructure — a pattern common in government tech where incumbents carry older platforms. The hiring mix (engineering-heavy across 201–500 headcount) and project list centered on cloud adoption and legacy modernization indicate infrastructure migration is now the primary growth lever.
