## 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 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
