The Opportunity:
Bring your full-stack engineering expertise to help modernize GEOINT and national security mission systems. As a mid‑level engineer, you’ll build cloud‑native microservices, develop scalable front‑end interfaces, and support the transformation of legacy analytical pipelines into modern, secure architectures that directly empower analysts in exploitation, tracking, visualization, and reporting workflows. You’ll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you’ll contribute to secure, reliable, and user‑centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.
What You'll Work On:
Implement end‑to‑end features across modern front‑end frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue and back‑end microservices such as Python, Java, or Node.js.
Build, enhance, and integrate API frameworks, such as FastAPI, RESTful, gRPC, or GraphQL APIs.
Develop scalable services using containerized workloads, including Docker, orchestrated with Kubernetes.
Support cloud deployments such as AWS or Azure, including IaC using Terraform or CloudFormation.
Contribute to modern DevSecOps practices, including automated testing, code quality enforcement, GitLab, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and security scanning.
Participate in Agile sprint planning, backlog refinement, peer code reviews, and user‑focused design discussions.
Integrate data, ML‑enabled, or analytic pipeline components into mission workflows, working closely with data engineers and analysts.
Troubleshoot issues across the full stack and contribute to team‑wide engineering improvements.

Builds AI and cyber systems for the US government
Booz Allen builds and runs technology for the U.S. government, mostly for the military and intelligence agencies, and its engineers work alongside consultants who know each agency's mission. In 1958, it helped the U.S. Navy create PERT, a project-scheduling method first used on the Polaris submarine missile program and later adopted across government and industry. Its teams design cyber defenses, AI and data tools, and battlefield communications, and it sells its own products, such as Vellox, a suite of AI tools that spot and fight off hackers. Agencies pay mainly through multi-year contracts that reimburse costs, bill hours, or set a fixed price. Booz Allen was founded in 1914 and is based in McLean, Virginia.
