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.

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of hands-on Java/J2EE enterprise application development, with demonstrated ability to speak to specific projects and technical decisions.
Back-End
  • Core Java including multi-threading, Executor framework, and concurrency patterns
  • 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
  • SQL design, stored procedures, and query optimization
  • XML/XSLT, JSON
Front-End — candidates must demonstrate current, hands-on experience
  • Angular version 14 or higher — component architecture, reactive forms, RxJS, routing, and integration with Spring Boot REST APIs
  • TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, AJAX
  • 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?

Job Responsibilities
