Cyber Warfare Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a cyber warfare engineer, you know how critical it is to stay ahead of evolving threats by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities before adversaries can. At Booz Allen, you'll bring that expertise to a mission-focused team where you'll conduct testing and analysis to identify vulnerabilities and potential threat vectors into systems and networks, develop exploits, and engineer attack methodologies. You’ll apply advanced engineering skills and extensive technical expertise, develop innovative solutions to complex problems, work without considerable direction, and mentor and supervise team members.  

In this role, you’ll perform reconnaissance, collect and analyze open-source intelligence, and conduct enumeration and target profiling to support cyber efforts across the mission owners’ platforms, networks, and systems. Your ability to evaluate exploit impact and develop attack vectors, exploit payloads, and system backdoors will support security and mission owner readiness.

This is your opportunity to help advance national security through cutting-edge cyber capabilities.
