Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Own code-level remediation of complex security vulnerabilities flagged by static (SVA), dynamic (DVA), software composition analysis (SCA), and container scans across Java/Angular/ReactJS applications.
- Develop automated scripts and tools for upgrading dependencies and remediating container security issues, including CloudFormation infrastructure fixes.
- Create and maintain regression test harnesses to ensure security fixes do not break existing functionality, collaborating with Automation Engineer to integrate fixes into CI/CD pipelines.
Minimum Requirements
- 6+ years of professional experience, including at least 5+ years with Java/Spring Boot and Angular or ReactJS.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services, specifically CloudFormation and container technologies.
- Proven expertise in vulnerability remediation for SAST (SVA), DAST (DVA), software composition analysis (SCA), and container vulnerabilities.
- Strong background in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and familiarity with AI-assisted development tools for accelerating code fixes and automation scripting.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experienced in handling complex, code-intensive security remediation within fullstack Java and modern frontend frameworks environments.
- Comfortable working directly with security scanning tools and translating findings into automated, production-ready solutions in cloud-native AWS setups.
- Able to build automation and testing solutions that tightly integrate with CI/CD pipelines, ensuring security fixes are robust and do not disrupt application functionality.
