Software Architect, Lead

Job Number: R0211+28

Software Architect, Lead

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, software design can start to look like clairvoyance. You’ve developed so many organization-wide 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 cloud, standalone, and cybersecurity. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the software technology supporting the DoD.

On our team, you'll translate your customer’s software needs and future goals into a plan by developing and implementing effective software designs, architectures, and roadmaps. You’ll use the latest software control systems like Git, Jira, and Confluence to design an effective software architecture. Your technical expertise will be vital as you create AWS and isolated software solutions using agile development processes and technologies such as Python, SQL or NoSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.

In this role, you’ll directly impact cybersecurity within the DoD by building a large-scale multi-domain enterprise processing and analysis system. With your advanced technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, you’ll guide a team that develops the best solutions for our customers.

Work with us as we transform the future of technology in the DoD for the better.
