## Description

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 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, including Maven BOMs, parent POMs, and transitive dependencies.
 * Analyze Mythos and Snyk findings, assess severity and impact, and apply fixes.
 * Validate that upgrades don't introduce regressions through build, test, and deployment processes.
 * 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 using pip and requirements.txt in platform services.
