Job Overview:

We are hiring a developer to proactively remediate vulnerabilities across our Java/Spring Boot platform services on a twice-per-week cadence. This position involves disciplined, recurring upgrade work that keeps our platform ahead of security findings before they become blockers. The candidate will work primarily in Java/Spring Boot codebases while also touching Python services that live within the same platform ecosystem. The candidate will leverage AI-assisted tooling and CI/CD pipelines to accelerate the remediation cycle.

Responsibilities:

• Remediate library vulnerabilities across platform services on a twice-weekly cycle.
• Upgrade and manage dependencies including Maven BOMs, parent POMs, and transitive dependencies.
• Analyze Mythos and Snyk findings, assess severity/impact, and apply fixes.
• Validate that upgrades do not introduce regressions across build, test, and deployment phases.
• 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.
• Remediate Python dependencies using pip or requirements.txt within platform services as needed.

Required Skills:

• Primary: Java 17/21, Maven, Spring / Spring Boot, GitHub, and Jenkins pipelines.
• Secondary: Python 3.x, pip / requirements.txt / Poetry, React, and Node.js / NPM.
• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda, IAM), Docker, Terraform, and Git.
• AI & Automation: AI-assisted coding (AWS Kiro or similar), familiarity with LLM-driven workflows, and an automation mindset.
• Security & Compliance: SCA tools (Mythos, Snyk, or similar), vulnerability lifecycle management, CVSS scoring & risk assessment, and 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 or insurance within a regulated environment.
• Experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch library upgrades.
• Comfort with NestJS/Node.js utilized in platform tooling.
