About The Position

Product Software Engineer The Opportunity: At Booz Allen Hamilton we are pushing the boundaries of innovation through our emerging product business. We are seeking a Senior Software and AI Engineer to join our internal product engineering team on a transformative AI-driven cybersecurity product. This product automates critical cybersecurity workflows that traditionally require months of manual effort by expert security teams — leveraging agentic AI to analyze complex security environments, identify threats, and generate actionable defensive content at unprecedented scale. You'll be building the intelligent systems that make this possible. This role is for a senior engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and cloud-native development — someone who can design and deliver autonomous, intelligent workflows that turn security data into real defensive capability. You'll collaborate with a dynamic team of engineers, product managers, and cybersecurity domain experts to build a scalable, high-impact solution that empowers our clients and sets new standards in the industry. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.
