Your growth matters to us – explore our career development opportunities.

The Product team is defining a new product‑led growth business within Booz Allen. You will have the opportunity to design, build, and deliver products to mission and commercial customers ’ll experience the energy of a start‑up, with the resources, mentorship, and stability of an established tech company, while looking across industry and capability areas to craft new outcomes that leverage our deep catalog of existing technology and customer solutions.

• Own the end‑to‑end product vision, strategy, and roadmap for a next‑generation detection engineering platform that explicitly leverages AI to move beyond the current human‑driven model.
• Leverage mastery of frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to understand the why and how behind lateral movement, exfiltration, and persistence.
• Identify and validate specific use cases where AI can automate time‑consuming outcomes and build hooks for automated response.
• Design interfaces that prioritize the most critical threats rather than burying analysts in more unactionable "noise" like the current SIEM & SOAR offerings.
• Build workflows that treat detections like software, such as Detections as Code (DaC), using Version Control, CI/CD pipelines for testing, and automated deployment.
• Use knowledge of how systems ingest, normalize, and enrich millions of events.
• Conduct deep market research on the emerging threat detection landscape, understanding competitor offerings, auditor expectations, and customer pain points to identify defensible product advantages.
• Translate complex requirements and user needs into detailed, prioritized product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for engineering and design teams that unfold the process tree, the network connections, and the user behavior of an attack rather than just a raw log line.
• Serve as the primary product leader, partnering with technical product leadership to ensure alignment and collaboration across Engineering, Data Science or AI, UX Design, Legal and Compliance, and Go‑to‑Market teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or Business

• Experience with SaaS platforms and products involving multi‑tenancy, subscriptions, billing, and compliance requirements
• Experience with detection engineering, including authoring and tuning detections across SIEM and EDR platforms, detection‑as‑code, or CI/CD workflows
• Experience with threat hunting using telemetry, analytics, and threat intelligence to identify adversary activity
• Experience with incident response, including alert triage, investigation, containment, and remediation
• Experience leading a product team toward a shared goal, inspire confidence, and drive consensus across the organization
• Experience breaking down complex and ambiguous problems into smaller, manageable pieces and developing innovative solutions
• Experience with…
