Description

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)
