Cybersecurity Engineer

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be "baked in" to a system architecture and 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 skills to design and develop secure systems for defense clients? We're looking for an engineer who can create solutions for defense clients that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a cybersecurity engineer at Booz Allen, you'll coordinate work with multiple government groups, contractor partners, and program office representatives to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client's IT needs and future goals into a plan that enables 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. You'll lead the team through 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 make a difference in the security of defense critical assets. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges.

Work with us as we protect and advance our defense clients' mission needs.

Join us. The world can't wait.
