Edge Information Software Security Architect

The Opportunity:  

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture—you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering and architecture skills to design and develop secure systems for the DoD? We’re looking for an architect who can help create solutions for the DoD that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. 

As a cyber edge engineer and software solutions architect at Booz Allen, you’ll design secure edge software solutions to support mission-critical operations. You’ll work with CSPs and internal R&D and delivery teams to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client’s needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. As a team, we’ll take a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs.  

This is a chance to learn from a team of experts as you make a difference in the security of warfighter operations. Your contributions will help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like zero-trust solutions and multi-cloud deliveries. You’ll be able to gain experience in edge security while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.  

Work with us as we improve warfighter operations and National Security through cyber security.
