Security Operations Center Architect, Senior

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 architecture skills to design and develop secure systems for the military? We're looking for an architect who can help create solutions for the Department of Defense that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a security network operations center solutions architect at Booz Allen, you'll develop and build cybersecurity solutions. You'll work with systems engineers and operators 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 command and control systems. Your contributions will help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like zero trust architecture and endpoint-based detection. You'll be able to gain experience in data science, digital engineering, and AI while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.

Work with us as we improve battle management systems through cyber security.
