This is your chance to share your experience with backbone networks, cloud technologies, and core networking while broadening your security and network engineering work. You’ll dive into challenging hands-on problem-solving, and encounter opportunities to learn new tools and skills. We focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers. As a Boundary Security Engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll design and test new boundary security capabilities in a lab environment and implement newly tested boundary security capabilities into production environments. You will provide implementation teams with remote network firewall and security appliance support. You will also identify and support security requirements for switched and routed networks and implement network security best practice configuration and asso cia ted hardware and sof tware. You’ll discover and assess complex client enterprise network deployments, apply leading-edge security principles, theories, and concepts, and contribute to the development of new principles and concepts. You’ll work on unusually complex problems, provide highly innovative solutions, operate with substantial latitude for unreviewed action or decision, and mentor or supervise employees in both company and technical competencies.
