Security 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 cybersecurity engineering and architecture skills to lead the design and development of secure systems for DoW clients?

We're looking for a senior security architect who can create solutions for national security clients that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a lead data and security architect at Booz Allen, you'll use digital and model-based systems engineering practices to drive data, identity and architectures for senior DoW organizations.

You'll coordinate work with program leads to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer's IT 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 advise on new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going.

You'll guide the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and modernization needs.

This is a chance to lead a team to make a difference in the security of data and solutions architectures. You'll oversee efforts to help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, cloud, and GenAI.

You'll broaden your skillset into modern MBSE tools while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure. As a technical leader, you'll identify new opportunities to use cybersecurity solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges.

Work with us as we protect and advance the DoW's security architectures. Join us. The world can't wait.
