Cybersecurity Engineer

Cybersecurity Engineer

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you 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 client? We’re looking for an engineer who can help create solutions for a client that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a cyber operations engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll develop innovative solutions to complex cyber risk problems, manage evaluation and accreditation of client systems, and apply technical solutions working in cloud environments. You’ll work with various 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 critical infrastructure. Your contributions will help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like endpoint-based detection, response EDR, multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, and advanced analytics. You’ll be able to gain experience in cloud-based security while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.

Work with us as we protect and advance the software delivery to a state-of-the-art multirole warfighter with cloud technology.
