• Collaborate with DevOps to configure AWS IAM policies and VPC security groups.
• Deliver a final security audit report with remediation recommendations by project end.

Must-have skills

• Strong Java development experience (Java 11+).
• Proficiency with Spring Boot, REST API design, and MySQL.
• Hands‑on knowledge of security best practices (OWASP, JWT, IAM).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
• Ability to write clean, testable code and unit tests (JUnit).

Nice to have
