We are seeking a Senior Java Developer with Angular to join our team and spearhead the remediation of security vulnerabilities across a portfolio of business-critical enterprise applications. The perfect candidate brings strong hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Framework / Spring Boot, and Angular, and feels confident owning complex enterprise applications, driving architectural decisions, performing in-depth analysis of security findings, and designing secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions across both backend and front-end layers.

Responsibilities

• Lead the analysis and remediation of security vulnerabilities across the applications, including defining remediation strategies and best practices
• Design, develop, modify, and maintain backend functionality with Java and Spring Boot, ensuring high standards of quality, performance, and security
• Evolve and enhance existing microservice-based architectures and REST APIs, proposing improvements where appropriate
• Work with relational databases, including PostgreSQL, tune queries, and resolve complex application/database integration issues
• Maintain, refactor, and improve front-end functionality using Angular
• Design and implement solutions leveraging Kafka and event-driven integrations where applicable
• Investigate complex legacy code and deliver fixes that address vulnerabilities without disrupting business functionality
• Drive the upgrade of vulnerable libraries, frameworks, and application dependencies, including planning and risk mitigation
• Perform code-level remediation guided by security findings, threat modeling, and secure development practices
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues arising from security fixes, dependency upgrades, or legacy implementations
• Write clean, maintainable, and secure code across backend and front-end layers, and define coding standards for the team
• Lead code reviews, testing strategies, and validation of implemented fixes
• Collaborate closely with developers, QA engineers, architects, product stakeholders, and other team members, offering technical guidance

• Strong understanding of microservice architecture and communication patterns, including service boundaries, REST-based integrations, error handling, resiliency patterns, observability, and troubleshooting of distributed systems
• Advanced skills in SQL and relational databases, including complex queries, joins, indexes, transactions, data access patterns, performance tuning, and schema design
• Solid hands-on proficiency in Angular and TypeScript, sufficient to investigate, maintain, refactor, and enhance existing front-end functionality
