Booz Allen is the leading provider of AI services to the nation and we're looking for a software engineer like you to create artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions that help solve industry's toughest problems.

What You'll Work On:

• Design and implement a repeatable, automated process to create new GitHub organizations pre-configured for secure software delivery.
• Configure default repository, branch, and team settings aligned with applicable security standards such as SLSA Level 3 and NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF).
• Establish governance controls, access management patterns, and audit logging capabilities to ensure compliance at scale.
• Create and maintain reusable GitHub Actions workflows and pipeline components for common software delivery scenarios.
• Integrate code scanning, dependency scanning, artifact signing, provenance generation, and release workflows into the default templates.
• Ensure CI/CD workflows produce cryptographically verifiable build artifacts compliant with SLSA provenance requirements.
• Implement organization-wide enforcement of branch protection rules, mandatory reviews, security scanning, and secrets detection.
• Integrate GitHub Advanced Security features into templates to enforce code scanning, Dependabot alerts, and secret scanning by default.
• Automate compliance evidence collection for internal audits and external frameworks such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or CMMC.
• Develop tooling such as Terraform, GitHub CLI, REST, or GraphQL APIs to provision and configure GitHub orgs at scale.
• Integrate GitHub org provisioning into enterprise onboarding workflows.
• Establish guardrails that allow autonomy for product teams while maintaining enterprise security baselines.
• Stay ahead of evolving software supply chain security requirements.
• Recommend and implement improvements for developer experience, security posture, and operational efficiency.
• Mentor engineering teams on secure software development and delivery practices.
