About the job

Requirements
  • At least 5 years of experience in technology product management.
  • Experience with cybersecurity operations, detection, cyberthreat intelligence, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and cloud-based infrastructure.
  • Experience analyzing and solving problems.
  • Ability to manage the entire product lifecycle, from ideation through launch and beyond.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-moving startup environments and effectively lead change.
  • Ability to travel up to 20% of the time.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or Business.
Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end vision, strategy, and roadmap for an artificial-intelligence-driven detection engineering platform designed to surpass human-centric models.
  • Create a repeatable discovery process to model environments, including assets, topology, identity, and logs, and generate context-aware, ranked detection rules using key performance indicators such as readiness time, false-positive reduction, and coverage uplift.
  • Apply knowledge of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK to design detections aligned to adversary behaviors across movement, exfiltration, and persistence.
  • Identify high-value opportunities for artificial intelligence automation, enabling autonomous detection creation, triage, and response actions that help users resolve threats.
  • Design analyst-focused interfaces that elevate critical threats while suppressing non-actionable security information and event management or security orchestration, automation, and response noise.
  • Build detection-as-code workflows using Git-based version control, continuous integration and continuous delivery testing, and automated deployment across large normalized event pipelines.
  • Integrate strategic data sources, including endpoint trees and behavioral telemetry, to enrich environment models and scale tuning from small regions to global deployments.
  • Conduct ongoing competitive and market research to identify gaps, auditor expectations, and defensible product advantages in the evolving detection landscape.
  • Translate complex threat-behavior stories into prioritized product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that drive engineering and design execution.
  • Partner across engineering, artificial intelligence and data science, user experience, legal and compliance, and go-to-market teams to align technical architecture, data governance, ingestion, labeling, and model-training strategy with customer needs.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with software-as-a-service platforms and products involving multi-tenancy, subscriptions, billing, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience with detection engineering, including authoring and tuning detections across security information and event management and endpoint detection and response platforms, and detection-as-code or continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows.
  • Experience modeling customer environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments; asset discovery; control-stack mapping, including endpoint detection and response, security information and event management, or identity providers; and telemetry onboarding for detection use cases.
  • Experience with threat hunting using telemetry, analytics, and threat intelligence to identify adversary activity.
  • Experience with incident response, including alert triage, investigation, containment, and remediation.
  • Experience leading a product team toward a shared goal, inspiring confidence, and driving consensus across the organization.
  • Ability to break down complex, ambiguous problems into smaller, manageable pieces and develop innovative solutions.
  • Experience with design tools such as Figma that enhance the product conceptualization process.
  • Knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework for detection mapping and adversary analysis.
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity operations, detection, cyberthreat intelligence, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and cloud-based infrastructure.

About the company

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.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Product work is growing: Booz Allen bought Ultra's battlefield encryption and computing unit for $720 million in August 2026.
  • Hiring continues despite cuts: Booz Allen listed 2,282 open roles in October 2026, 1,097 of them in technology.
  • Work is lined up for years: backlog, including contract options, hit $39.5 billion in June 2026, about 3.5 years' revenue.

What critics are saying

  • Job security has slipped: staff fell from 33,400 to 30,900 in the year to June 2026 as civil work shrank.
  • Stock grants lost value: shares fell 29% in the year to October 2026 while defense IT rival CACI rose 14%.
  • Shutdowns halt paid work: the federal shutdown that began October 2025 cost Booz Allen about $50 million in unperformed work.

What makes Booz Allen unique

  • Most coworkers are cleared for secrets: about 77% of Booz Allen's 31,500 employees held security clearances in March 2026.
  • AI is its specialty: Booz Allen calls itself the federal government's largest AI provider, with about 400 active AI projects.
  • It bankrolls defense tech startups: Booz Allen tripled its venture fund to $300 million in July 2025, backing 17 companies.

Booz Allen shifts to fixed-price contracts as national security pipeline jumps 20%

Booz Allen Hamilton said it remains on track to meet its full-year expectations while it speeds up investment in cyber and defence technology. The company announced this on its October 23, 2026 earnings call for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended September 30. It is shifting towards fixed price contracts and proprietary products to widen margins and separate revenue growth from headcount. In national security, the fixed price mix has risen by three percentage points this year, and the firm added more than 300 employees there this quarter. The qualified national security pipeline grew more than 20% year on year. The civil business fell 15%, slightly better than guidance, as contract awards faced delays.

PDW integrates Booz Allen mission autonomy software on AM drones with secure fleet updates

Performance Drone Works announced it is integrating Booz Allen's mission autonomy software, powered by Shield AI's Hivemind, onto its AM drones. The software enables autonomy-assisted missions whilst operators retain decision-making authority. PDW is also deploying Booz Allen's secure over-the-air fleet update system across its aircraft portfolio. The combined product entered testing on 30 September and is planned for general availability in Q1 2027. PDW aims to extend the autonomy software to its C100 aircraft later in 2027. The integration supports PDW's strategy to rapidly field and adapt systems. The company's Huntsville facility has annual production capacity of 100,000 drones. Booz Allen's update system is designed to reduce approved update cycles from weeks to hours, even in contested environments.

Aventra raises $17.5M for high-altitude balloon-dropped glide bombs

Virginia-based startup Aventra has raised $17.5 million in new funding, with Konvoy Ventures leading the round. Seed round backer Lavrock Ventures participated alongside new investors Booz Allen Ventures, Sands Capital, Langford Industries, and Western Alliance Bank. The company manufactures Piranha, a high-altitude balloon-dropped glide bomb that converts unguided munitions into precision-guided weapons. Since emerging from stealth with a $3.5 million seed round last October, Aventra has delivered over 400 units to US and NATO customers and doubled its production revenue. The system launches munitions from 60,000 feet and can glide approximately 100 miles, with recent demonstrations achieving accuracy within three metres of targets. Aventra plans to use the funding to scale production from 35 units monthly to 500 through a new Virginia facility called Factory Zero.
