Java Developer

Hard requirements (all must be present - non-negotiable)

- 5+ years Java/J2EE enterprise application development

- Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Hibernate

- RESTful web services and Microservices in AWS

- Multi-threading and Executor framework (must be explicitly demonstrated in work history, not just listed in skills)

- JavaScript front-end: HTML5, CSS3, TypeScript, AJAX, JSON

- JSP and JSTL

- SQL design, stored procedures, query optimization

JBoss and/or Apache Tomcat deployment experience

- Web application security best practices

- GitHub Copilot (any level)

- Angular - critical note

Angular depth is the single most common reason candidates fail the technical screen. Please do not submit a candidate whose Angular experience cannot be verified by version number.

Job Description

This is a full-stack role with an even split between middle-tier Java development and modern front-end development. Candidates must demonstrate genuine depth on both sides of the stack - this is not a backend role with incidental UI responsibilities.

Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Hibernate, MyBatis

RESTful web services design and implementation

Microservices architecture on AWS

JBoss and/or Apache Tomcat application server deployment

JSP, JSTL

DevOps & Tooling GitHub Copilot in Agent mode - active use in development workflow required

Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes

Web application security best practices (OWASP, OAuth2, JWT)

Preferred Qualifications P&C insurance domain experience

Performance tuning experience (JVM, database query optimization, front-end load performance)

AWS certifications

Angular - critical note

Angular depth is the single most common reason candidates fail the technical screen. Please do not submit a candidate whose Angular experience cannot be verified by version number. Before submitting, confirm: What version of Angular did the candidate most recently use?

Was it used in a production application or primarily listed as a skill?

Can the candidate describe a component or feature they personally built?
