Software Engineer

Job Number: R0240094

Software Engineer

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, sof t war e design can start to look like clairvoyance. You've developed so many organization-wide sof t war e 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 sof t war e architect who spe cia lizes in architecting integrated, AI-enabled sof t war e solutions that unify disparate defense data sources into a coherent operational picture, with a solid background in enterprise-scale analytics platforms and mission-system integration. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the sof t war e technology supporting advanced command and control (C2) in an Air Operations Center .

On our team, you'll translate your customer's sof t war e needs and future goals into a plan by developing and implementing effective Git-based versioning and modern DevSecOps toolchains tailored for deployment across the Maven Smart System ( MSS ) and SC2S environments, to design an effective sof t war e architecture. Your technical expertise will be vital as you lead the building of a machine-assisted decision platform that integrates all relevant data into a Common Air Defense Picture ( CADP ) , automates air defense workflows, and generates optimized courses of action using AI-enabled decision-support components and iterative Agile development.

In this role, you'll directly impact Air Force C2 modernization by accelerating C2 decision cycles, automating key defensive workflows, enhancing cross-domain data fusion, and providing real-time operational recommendations that improve the protection of joint forces and strategic locations. 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 Air Force C2 for the better.

Join us. The world can't wait.
