Software Development Engineer (SDE) — Java Backend

About

We are supporting a large cloud security organization building a backend platform for software vulnerability management. The scope includes software composition analysis (SCA), third-party software supply chain analysis, CVE-to-codebase matching, and ticketing/remediation plumbing. This is a platform-shaped build — not a one-shot deliverable. The client is funded and ready to move; there is a competing firm already in conversation, so speed of candidate delivery is critical.

• Onshore US-based (non-negotiable — funding requirement)
