Cybersecurity Engineer

Cybersecurity Engineer

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 skills to design and develop secure systems for a client? We’re looking for an engineer who can create solutions for our customers that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. 

As a cybersecurity 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 virtualized environments. You’ll coordinate and work with various teams to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT needs and future 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. 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 the client's defense training system. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like risk management frameworks and developing software and hardware solutions on a variety of technology platforms. You’ll be able to broaden your skillset into areas like working in virtual environments and cloud-based security while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.  

Work with us as we improve the client and other combatant command training environments through cybersecurity.
