About the Role
We are partnering with a leading Fortune 50 retail organization to identify experienced Senior Java Application Security Engineer for a focused application security remediation initiative within their Corporate Finance technology group. Our client operates one of the nation''s largest retail and e-commerce platforms, where enterprise-scale applications support critical financial and business operations.

As a consultant embedded within established engineering teams, you will remediate security findings, reduce technical debt, and strengthen the security posture of enterprise applications. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on executing remediation work within existing production systems—ideal for a senior Java engineer who can contribute quickly in a fast-paced Agile environment.

This position is intended for hands-on software engineers who execute application security remediation—not security architects, governance specialists, or policy-focused security professionals.

Job Description
You will work within existing engineering teams to triage, remediate, and validate application security findings across enterprise production applications. Success in this role means delivering high-quality, well-documented remediation work with minimal oversight while collaborating effectively across engineering, infrastructure, platform, and security teams.

Key Responsibilities
  • Triage and prioritize application security findings from approved vulnerability management and scanning tools.
  • Remediate application code vulnerabilities using secure coding best practices.
  • Perform dependency, framework, library, runtime, and version upgrades while minimizing compatibility and regression risk.
  • Resolve static analysis, software composition analysis (SCA), exposed secret, and repository security findings.
  • Execute unit, integration, regression, and security testing to validate remediation efforts.
  • Produce traceable remediation documentation, including pull requests, tickets, test results, scan results, and approval evidence.
  • Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, platform, and security teams to deliver remediation packages that meet defined acceptance criteria.
  • Contribute reusable remediation patterns, documentation, and automation where appropriate.
Success Measures
Successful consultants will:
  • Deliver assigned remediation packages that meet documented acceptance criteria.
  • Resolve or properly disposition security findings with complete supporting evidence.
  • Complete dependency and framework upgrades that successfully pass validation testing.
  • Demonstrate measurable reduction of the prioritized security backlog.
  • Deliver reusable documentation and knowledge transfer that enables ongoing engineering support after the engagement.

Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of Java development experience supporting enterprise production applications.
  • Hands-on experience remediating application security vulnerabilities within existing codebases.
  • Experience developing REST APIs.
  • Demonstrated experience with:
    • Dependency and library upgrades
    • CVE remediation
    • Static analysis findings
    • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
    • Secret remediation
    • Secure application configuration
  • Experience using Git-based development workflows, including pull requests and branch management.
  • Knowledge of repository security controls, such as:
    • Code scanning
    • Dependency alerts
    • Secret scanning
    • Branch protections
  • Experience building and executing automated unit, integration, and regression tests.
  • Ability to independently manage assigned remediation work while collaborating effectively within Agile teams.
  • Ability to produce clear remediation documentation and evidence supporting completed work.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience working in Kotlin codebases, or the ability to quickly become productive within existing Kotlin applications.
  • Experience with GitHub Advanced Security, Dependabot, Renovate, or comparable enterprise security tooling.
  • Experience remediating vulnerabilities within JVM applications, microservices, APIs, or messaging platforms.
  • Experience developing remediation automation, reusable engineering patterns, playbooks, or operational documentation.
