Senior Java Developer – Application Security Focus (m/f/d)

Senior Java Developer with strong application security focus is a security‑minded senior developer role, requiring deep hands‑on Java development experience and the ability to understand complex Java‑based applications. The primary purpose is to take ownership of application security topics and vulnerability remediation within the development context. The position is not for direct code development.

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 and 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.
