    About the Role:

    We're hiring a developer to proactively remediate vulnerabilities across our Java/Spring Boot platform services on a twice-per-week cadence. This isn't firefighting — it's disciplined, recurring upgrade work that keeps our platform ahead of security findings before they become blockers. You'll work primarily in Java/Spring Boot codebases but will also touch Python services that live within the same platform ecosystem. You'll leverage AI-assisted tooling and CI/CD pipelines to accelerate the remediation cycle.

    What You'll Do:

    • Remediate library vulnerabilities across platform services on a twice-weekly cycle
    • Upgrade and manage dependencies (Maven BOMs, parent POMs, transitive dependencies)
    • Analyze Mythos and Snyk findings, assess severity/impact, and apply fixes
    • Validate upgrades don't introduce regressions (build, test, deploy)
    • Maintain compatibility across shared libraries consumed by multiple services
    • Work with AI-assisted remediation tooling to accelerate upgrade workflows
    • Coordinate with security and release teams on vulnerability SLAs
    • Occasionally remediate Python dependencies (pip/requirements.txt) in platform services

    Required Skills:

    • Primary (Must-Have)
      • Java 17/21
      • Maven
      • Spring / Spring Boot
      • GitHub
      • Jenkins pipelines
    • Secondary
      • Python 3.x
      • pip / requirements.txt / Poetry
      • React
      • Node.js / NPM
    • Cloud & Infrastructure
      • AWS (ECS, Lambda, IAM)
      • Docker
      • Terraform
    • Git
      • AI & Automation
      • AI-assisted coding (AWS Kiro or similar)
      • Familiarity with LLM-driven workflows
      • Automation mindset
    • Security & Compliance
      • SCA tools (Mythos, Snyk, or similar)
      • Vulnerability lifecycle management
      • CVSS scoring & risk assessment
      • Compliance awareness

    Nice to Have:

    • Strong experience with SDLC, DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines
    • Experience managing upgrades at scale across 10 microservices
    • Familiarity with Apache Camel or integration-heavy Spring services
    • Background in financial services / insurance (regulated environment)
    • Experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch library upgrades
    • Comfort with NestJS/Node.js (some platform tooling uses this)
