The Opportunity:

At a certain point, software design can start to look like clairvoyance. You’ve developed so many enterprise and mission-focused software architectures that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technical challenge, but you can also anticipate future concerns. That’s because you’re a software architect with a solid background in designing secure, scalable, and resilient software solutions for classified defense and intelligence environments. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the software technology supporting national security and defense missions.

On our team, you'll translate your customer’s software needs and future goals into a plan by developing and implementing effective software architectures, technical roadmaps, system integration strategies, and software design specifications. You’ll use modern development and configuration management tools such as Git, GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS services, to design effective software architectures. Your technical expertise will be vital as you create secure software solutions and cloud-enabled platforms using Agile development methodologies, DevSecOps practices, and modern programming languages such as Java, Python, and C++.

In this role, you’ll directly impact national security missions by designing and implementing software architectures that enable mission-critical decision making, improve operational effectiveness, and provide real-time solutions to support warfighters and intelligence analysts. With your technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, you’ll help grow a team that develops the best solutions for our customers.

Work with us as we transform the future of technology in the defense and intelligence community for the better.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
