<h3>What We Are Building</h3><div>Chosen People Ministries operates a substantial and growing digital footprint: numerous WordPress websites, custom-built web applications, a highly customized FileMaker database, podcasts, email marketing, social media, and online education platforms serving more than twenty countries. As the ministry’s digital reach has expanded, so has the opportunity for dedicated technical leadership to unify and strengthen it.</div><div><br>The Platform Architect is CPM’s first senior technical hire and will be accountable for the health of this entire ecosystem. The role begins with a comprehensive audit of everything we operate, followed by a phased plan to remove redundancies, increase interoperability, streamline maintenance, and establish enduring engineering standards, security practices, and vendor policies. The goal is a focused, well-integrated set of systems that serve the ministry for the next decade.</div><div><br>The Architect will work closely with senior leadership to ensure technology advances the mission of praying for, evangelizing, discipling, and serving Jewish people worldwide.<br><br></div><h3>What You Will Do</h3><div><strong>Audit (First Priority)<br></strong><br></div><ul><li>Conduct a complete inventory and audit of all CPM digital properties: websites, hosting accounts, domains, codebases, databases, vendor contracts, credentials, and data flows</li><li>Assess each of CPM’s WordPress sites;
