About The Position

Booz Allen is hiring an Edge Processing Solutions Engineer to lead an engineering team of up to eight engineers on a new effort growing out of an established program. The role owns technical direction end-to-end—including architecture, delivery, customer engagement, and team leadership—and is hands-on, with an expectation of contributing to the codebase. The work involves Go-based software systems deployed at tactical edge locations that may be disconnected, resource-constrained, airborne, or forward-deployed. The portfolio includes ISR data pipelines, autonomous platform integration, and Kubernetes runtime capabilities.

The engineer will lead an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability; build and maintain Go services for disconnected and intermittently connected environments; and design Kubernetes-native systems. Responsibilities include maintaining the Kubernetes runtime on edge hardware, supporting air-gapped image distribution, GPU scheduling, and read-only root filesystems, and establishing CI/CD pipelines that produce signed, scanned, and reproducible artifacts. The position also includes integrating tactical data standards and ISR sensor pipelines, mentoring engineers, setting technical standards, conducting code reviews, engaging directly with customers, and supporting follow-on proposal and capture work.

A Secret clearance and a bachelor's degree are required. The position requires at least six years of professional software engineering experience and at least two years in a technical or engineering lead role. The projected annual compensation range is $112,800 to $257,000. Booz Allen describes benefits including health, life, disability, financial, and retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs, dependent care, and recognition awards.

Requirements

• At least 6 years of professional software engineering experience.
• At least 2 years of experience in a technical lead or engineering lead role.
• Production experience using Go as a primary systems language.
• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes in production.
• Systems-level Linux experience, including systems, networking, filesystems such as overlays or tmpfs, and containers.
• Ability to mentor engineers and raise a team's technical standards.
• Secret clearance.
• Bachelor's degree.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with the CoT or TAK ecosystem, including TAK Server, ATAK or WINTAK, and CoT message handling.
• Experience in ISR, UAS, or autonomous platform software, such as PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, or sensor integration.
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or edge GPU scheduling, including device plugins, MIG, and CUDA on Kubernetes.
• Experience writing or contributing to white papers, capability briefs, or technical proposal volumes.
• Experience with disconnected or air-gapped software delivery, including image syncing, registry mirroring, offline package management, and update strategies for systems that cannot connect to the internet.
• Production experience using Rust or modern C++.
• Experience using K3S, MicroK8s, or another Kubernetes flavor on constrained hardware.
• TS/SCI clearance.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery for an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability.
• Build and maintain Go services for disconnected and intermittently connected environments.
• Design Kubernetes-native systems, including workload architecture, Helm charts, and custom controllers or operators when appropriate.
• Maintain the Kubernetes runtime on edge hardware, including K3S, air-gapped image distribution, GPU scheduling, and read-only root filesystems.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines that produce signed, scanned, and reproducible artifacts.
• Integrate tactical data standards such as Cursor on Target or TAK, along with ISR sensor pipelines.
• Mentor engineers, set technical standards, and conduct code reviews.
• Work directly with customers to translate operator needs into technical requirements and communicate technical solutions.
• Support proposal and capture work for follow-on scope.
• Contribute hands-on to the codebase.
