What this job asks for AI summary
A backend-focused engineering lead role on a Digital Onboarding platform, responsible for designing and maintaining Java/Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs, and cloud-native services on AWS. A significant portion of the work involves application security — identifying and remediating vulnerabilities across OWASP, penetration testing, and static/dynamic scanning findings. The role also covers mentoring engineers, supporting the full delivery lifecycle, and potentially expanding into Python or frontend work over time.

Why we read it this way (7)
The job title is 'Lead Software Engineer' with no explicit seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 7+ years requirement and lead/mentor scope support a Senior classification.
No specific work location city is stated. The posting explicitly excludes Colorado, California, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Maine, and Washington — the role is on-site Monday–Friday but no metro is identified.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in CS/IT or related field) is qualified with 'or equivalent industry experience,' so it is not treated as a hard gate.
AWS-specific services (ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, API Gateway, CloudWatch, IAM, Secrets Manager) are listed under the required experience section with 'such as' framing, indicating the named services are illustrative examples of required AWS depth rather than each individually gated — captured as required per section placement rules, with ECS/EKS combined as alternatives.
Fortify, SonarQube, Snyk, Black Duck, Checkmarx, WebInspect, and Apiiro appear under the 'great to have' section and are marked preferred.
Python, React, Next.js, and front-end technologies (JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS) are explicitly called out as 'great to have' / nice-to-have and are marked preferred.
ServiceNow (VITs) appears only in the preferred 'great to have' section in the context of vulnerability remediation processes.
