Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will design resilient, scalable, and secure software architectures for missile defense systems while leading cross-functional teams in Agile development. Your work will directly impact national defense by driving modernization, interoperability, and long-term sustainability of critical systems.
Candidates must have 10+ years of experience in software architecture and 5+ years in missile defense or fire control systems. A Bachelor's degree and an active Secret clearance are required for this role.
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 background in mission-critical operations and expertise in modern software development ecosystems. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to work in a complex and dynamic environment to improve the software technology supporting national defense capabilities.
On our team, you'll translate external interfaces and operational needs into resilient, scalable, and secure technical solutions. You’ll use the latest software control systems to design an effective software architecture. Your technical expertise will be vital as you lead the building of a software prototype solution using Agile development.
In this role, you’ll directly impact national defense by providing system architecture that drives modernization, interoperability, and long‑term sustainability. 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.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
