You will build backend services that ingest bank-supplied artifacts (Postman collections, OAS, configuration files), expose them through REST + Thymeleaf admin surfaces, and integrate LLM-driven assistance (Bedrock Knowledge Bases + Agents, RAG over our internal corpus) into the day-to-day operator workflow.\nThe role is hands-on Java + Spring Boot with meaningful GenAI integration work - not a research role and not a pure prompt-engineering role. You'll own features end-to-end, from OpenSearch index design through Bedrock Agent wiring to the admin UI that exposes them.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and develop services in the Compass Spring Boot codebase - REST APIs, admin Thymeleaf views, OpenSearch-backed data flows.\nIntegrate AWS Bedrock(Claude family models, Knowledge Bases, Agents) into Java services for RAG, summarization, and operator-assist features.\nBuild and maintain ingestion pipelines that turn bank-supplied artifacts (Postman collections, configuration YAML, FDXmapping spreadsheets) into structured OpenSearch documents.\nWire OpenSearch indexing, tenant-scoped routing and vector search for RAG retrieval.\nImplement CI/CD via the existing GitHub-based pipelines; keep build and deploy times honest.\nOptimize application performance, scalability, and security\nCollaborate with the mappings team, the Bedrock / KB content team, and the frontend / Thymeleaf maintainers to define and ship features.\nWrite clean, maintainable, well-documented Java; favor small focused commits and reversible changes.\nStay current with the Java ecosystem and the GenAI tooling landscape\nRequired Skills & Qualifications\nTechnical Skills\nStrong proficiency in Java 17+\nSpring Boot\nSpring MVC+ Thymeleaf\nREST API design - JSON-in / JSON-out, paginated search endpoints, multipart upload\nMicroservices / service-oriented design within a single deployable\nHands-on OpenSearch / Elasticsearchexperience\nExperience integrating LLMsinto Java applications via REST clients or SDKs - AWS Bedrockpreferred\nRAG architectures- chunking, embedding, retrieval, citation\nVector databases\nCloud platform experience - AWS, specifically:Elastic Beanstalk(Compass deploy target - not Kubernetes)\nBedrock(KB + Agents)\nS3, IAM, CloudWatch\nMulti-account Organization layout\n\nExperience with Git, Maven, and CI/CD pipelines\nComfortable with relational and unstructured databases\nPreferred Skills\nPrior work in fintech / open banking / FDX/ account-aggregation / payment-network connectivity- or willingness to learn the domain fast.\nExperience with Generative AI and LLM applicationsin production\nFamiliarity with Pythonfor AI prototyping and one-off data tooling\nExperience with AI security, prompt-injection defense, and data-privacy standards\nExposure to Postman collection parsing\nExposure to Atlassian APIs\nEducational Requirements\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or related field - orequivalent demonstrable experience shipping production Java + GenAI systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3318,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T13:48:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.178,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":155,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:18","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ninth-wave-ai-java-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ninth-wave-ai-java-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T08:27:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13567,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2884289},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2884289"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fninth-wave-ai-java-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fninth-wave-ai-java-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fninth-wave-ai-java-developer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ninth-wave-ai-java-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fninth-wave-ai-java-developer"}]}
