Enterprise Cybersecurity Solution Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a Cybersecurity Solution Engineer, you will operate as a hands-on solutions integrator and technical leader responsible for designing, configuring, developing, and deploying enterprise cybersecurity operations solutions for use by the Booz Allen’s cyber Operations teams. This role emphasizes execution and delivery of security capabilities, including advanced AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions, while ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture, risk posture, and operational objectives. You will bridge architecture and operations by translating security designs into deployable, scalable, and automated implementations across cloud, network, endpoint, identity, and application domains.

You will originate, facilitate, and lead cross-functional efforts to deploy and mature Enterprise Cybersecurity Operations capabilities, including prevention, detection, response, recovery controls, and efficient execution, while guiding teams through threat-informed improvements, security-by-design practices, and architectural remediation of control gaps. You will perform security solution reviews and provide technical direction for complex initiatives, including modernization, cloud adoption, and platform transformation efforts, translating security findings, incident learnings, and threat intelligence into actionable design decisions and measurable implementation plans. You’ll leverage strong analytical and communication skills to assess complex security and business problems, align technical and non-technical stakeholders, and drive decisions to closure in support of Booz Allen’s critical enterprise infrastructure, go-to-market platforms, and mission operations. This position is located in McLean, VA.

What You’ll Work On:

• Design, configure, and implement enterprise cybersecurity operations solutions across identity, endpoint, network, application, and cloud environments, translating architecture into scalable, production-grade deployments.

• Develop automation, scripting, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to enable repeatable, testable, and version-controlled security implementations and integrations across platforms.

• Design, build, and deploy custom AI/ML solutions for cybersecurity, including model development, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, agentic workflows, and LLM-assisted analyst tooling.

• Operationalize custom AI/ML solutions end-to-end, including data pipeline, training or tuning, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.

• Applysecure-AI engineering practicesthroughout the AI/ML lifecycle, including model and data protection, prompt and inference risk mitigation, evaluation against adversarial inputs, and responsible AI controls.

• Implement and orchestrate security tools and controls such as SIEM, SOAR, EDR, IAM, or CSPM, including detection logic, response playbooks, and cloud-native security policies, andextend them with custom AI/ML capabilitieswhere commercial tooling falls short.

• Collaborate across engineering, platform, data, and operations teams to deliver end-to-end solutions, embed security into DevSecOps and MLSecOps pipelines, and drive implementation through to operational outcomes.

Join us. The world can27t wait.
