Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Senior Java Developer with strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, Azure, and application-level encryption/data protection. The ideal candidate will design, develop, secure, and deploy enterprise Java applications while implementing approved encryption methodologies and modern DevSecOps practices.
The role requires hands-on experience with FIPS-compliant cryptography, AES-GCM encryption, data redaction, secure coding, CI/CD, and Kubernetes-based deployments. You will collaborate closely with architecture, security, DevOps, and platform teams to build secure, scalable, and reliable cloud-native applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, enhance, and maintain enterprise Java applications using Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and MVC architecture.
- Build and maintain RESTful microservices using Spring Boot and modern software engineering practices.
- Implement secure data protection capabilities, including AES-GCM encryption, encryption/decryption workflows, data masking/redaction, and FIPS-compliant cryptographic methodologies.
- Apply secure coding principles to protect sensitive data both at rest and in transit.
- Integrate encryption and data protection capabilities into Java services while maintaining performance, scalability, and maintainability.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines for Java applications, including build, unit testing, packaging, security scanning, artifact management, and deployment.
- Implement pipeline-as-code using YAML-based configurations to ensure repeatable, version-controlled delivery processes.
- Containerize Java microservices using Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes/AKS environments.
- Develop and maintain Kubernetes manifests, Helm configurations, service configurations, and deployment automation.
- Troubleshoot application, container, deployment, configuration, and runtime issues across development, testing, and production-like environments.
- Integrate static code analysis, dependency scanning, SAST/DAST, vulnerability scanning, and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
- Participate in code reviews and promote clean-code practices, meaningful commits, small pull requests, and traceability to work items.
- Collaborate with security, architecture, DevOps, cloud, and platform teams to ensure applications meet enterprise security and reliability standards.
- Support vulnerability remediation, dependency management, and secure software supply-chain practices.
- Contribute to release automation, deployment governance, monitoring, and operational support.
Required Qualifications
- Strong hands-on experience with Java development in enterprise environments.
- Advanced experience with Spring Boot and Spring MVC.
- Strong understanding of MVC architecture, REST APIs, and microservices design patterns.
- Proven experience implementing encryption and data protection within Java applications.
- Hands-on knowledge of AES-GCM encryption and secure cryptographic implementation patterns.
- Understanding of FIPS standards and FIPS-compliant cryptography.
- Experience with data redaction, masking, or protection of sensitive information.
- Experience developing and deploying RESTful microservices.
- Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for Java applications.
- Experience with YAML-based pipeline-as-code practices.
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience deploying applications to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or similar managed Kubernetes platforms.
- Strong understanding of DevOps, automated testing, release automation, and deployment governance.
- Experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub, including source control and pull request workflows.
- Ability to troubleshoot complex application and deployment issues.
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Kubernetes manifests, Helm, and GitOps.
- Experience with ArgoCD or similar GitOps deployment platforms.
- Experience integrating SonarQube, JFrog/Xray, SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, or vulnerability management tools into CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with cloud-native application development on Microsoft Azure.
- Knowledge of secure software supply-chain practices and dependency vulnerability remediation.
- Experience with enterprise encryption libraries, key-management solutions, or cryptographic service integrations.
- Familiarity with Azure security and application protection services.
