2d•$86,900 - $198,000

About The Position

The Opportunity: At a certain point, software design can start to look like clairvoyance. You’ve developed so many organization-wide software architectures that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technical challenge, but you can also anticipate future concerns. That’s because you’re a software architect who specializes in architecting integrated, AI‑enabled software solutions that unify disparate defense data sources into a coherent operational picture, with a solid background in enterprise‑scale analytics platforms and mission‑system integration. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the software technology supporting advanced command and control (C2) in an Air Operations Center. On our team, you'll translate your customer’s software needs and future goals into a plan by developing and implementing effective Git‑based versioning and modern DevSecOps toolchains tailored for deployment across the Maven Smart System (MSS) and SC2S environments, to design an effective software architecture. Your technical expertise will be vital as you lead the building of a machine‑assisted decision platform that integrates all relevant data into a Common Air Defense Picture (CADP), automates air defense workflows, and generates optimized courses of action using AI‑enabled decision‑support components and iterative Agile development. In this role, you’ll directly impact Air Force C2 modernization by accelerating C2 decision cycles, automating key defensive workflows, enhancing cross‑domain data fusion, and providing real‑time operational recommendations that improve the protection of joint forces and strategic locations. With your advanced technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, you’ll guide a team that develops the best solutions for our customers. Work with us as we transform the future of technology in Air Force C2 for the better. Join us. The world can’t wait.
