The Senior Java Developer with strong Application Security Focus is a security-minded senior developer role, rather than a generic Java developer position. The role requires deep hands-on Java development experience and the ability to understand complex Java-based applications, but its primary purpose is to take ownership of application security topics and vulnerability remediation within the development context. The position is not intended to directly develop new code or make code changes.
The candidate will review existing application code, analyze security findings and potential defects, assess vulnerabilities based on severity, exploitability, business impact, and remediation urgency, and provide expert guidance on robust remediation approaches. This includes knowledge of AI-supported code analysis methods as well as application security tooling such as SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and vulnerability management solutions. A core responsibility is to own and coordinate application security topics for the development team, drive vulnerability remediation follow-up, and support developers with experience-based recommendations while the actual implementation remains with the development teams.
By combining senior development expertise with a strong security mindset, the role helps safeguard the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of applications, strengthens secure development practices, and ensures that vulnerability remediation is understood, prioritized, tracked, and technically guided. The role acts as an advisory and review function as well as the technical interface to central security teams, for example the Cyber Hygiene team, translating centralrequirements into practical development guidance and providing technical feedback from the application teams.
