Infrastructure and Network Architect

Infrastructure and Network Architect

The Opportunity:

As an Infrastructure and Network Architect at Booz Allen, you’ll support the implementation and design of a cybersecurity tools suite, deliver a Zero Trust Architecture roadmap, and develop an Enterprise Integration Strategy for collaboration, mission impact, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) capabilities in highly classified environments.

You’ll coordinate work with in-house teams, subcontractors, and industry partners 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 cyber defense network environments. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like SIEM, SOAR, CI and CD, endpoint security management, and advanced analytics. You’ll be able to broaden your skillset into areas like Zero Trust Architecture, AI and ML informed response, automation and orchestration of security events, and Cloud-based security, while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.
