Full Job Posting

Key Responsibilities

  • Delivering self-service platform features end to end, from spec to production, working with AI agents at each step and working across every layer of the platform:
  • Backend: Java 21 / Spring Boot services integrating with GitHub, Azure DevOps, Active Directory, ServiceNow, CyberArk, Cloudsmith, Snyk and SonarQube
  • Frontend:the DevX portal (Angular) and documentation site (MkDocs)
  • Golden paths:Azure DevOps pipeline templates, component templates and TypeScript pipeline extensions
  • Compliance:policy-as-code (OPA / Rego) for automated change-management checks
  • Infrastructure:IaC, Kubernetes on Amazon EKS, RDS PostgreSQL and the platform's own CI/CD
  • Writing unit tests, automated functional tests and post-deployment checks as part of every change
  • Building and improving the agent skills, steering and knowledge bases that our AI-native delivery depends on
  • Solving integration and reliability problems with a focus on blast radius, observability and safe rollout
  • Supporting the capabilities we build

Skills and Experience

  • We value breadth over depth. If you don't have everything listed, don't rule yourself out. Your intellect, attitude and passion for improving how engineers work matter most.
  • Essential
  • Minimum of 3 years of commercial software engineering, delivering features end to end
  • Strong skills in Java (Spring Boot) or TypeScript, and confidence working in other languages
  • Experience with REST APIs, microservices and cloud-native design patterns
  • Hands-on CI/CD pipeline experience (Azure DevOps preferred)
  • Working knowledge of Docker and at least one cloud platform (AWS preferred)
  • Understanding of DevSecOps and building security into delivery pipelines
  • Daily use of AI coding assistants or agents, or a strong drive to work that way, with the judgement to review and own what they produce
  • High agency: you act like an owner, work self-sufficiently when needed and see problems through to resolution
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and a collaborative, customer-focused mindset
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a STEM subject (or comparable experience)
  • Highly Desirable
  • Experience in several of these areas is enough:
  • Azure DevOps YAML templates, extensions and decorators
  • Kubernetes / Amazon EKS, AWS IAM and RDS, and IaC (CloudFormation, CDK or Terraform)
  • Angular or React, Node.js, and Python or Bash scripting
  • Security and identity: Snyk, SonarQube, OIDC/OAuth 2.0, Active Directory, CyberArk
  • Test automation frameworks, Dynatrace and PostgreSQL
  • Agentic development tools such as Kiro or GitHub Copilot, and prompt and context engineering
  • Experience mentoring and upskilling junior engineers
  • Emerging Technology Bonus Points
  • Agentic AI: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, MCP servers and agent skills
  • Policy-as-code with Open Policy Agent (Rego)
  • Developer experience metrics and platform adoption measurement
  • Thanks for reading this far. We'd love to hear from you if you want to join a technology innovation company with start-up agility and Fortune 500 stability, where AI-native engineering is already how we deliver.
  • Aflac is an equal opportunities employer
