Github Copilot Jobs in Washington, DC (NOW HIRING)

• Work Split: 80% testing and creating test cases / 20% development support. Note: This is not a heavy feature-development role.

• Core Mission: Focus is entirely on automated testing, coverage, and code correctness.

• Framework Status: No greenfield development. Frameworks are already built; the candidate will not be building anything from scratch.

• Backend vs. Frontend: Purely focused on the Java back-end. Very little to zero front-end interaction or front-end testing is required (despite the "full stack" mention in the official JD).

• Architecture: Core Spring Boot applications in a monolithic setup (not microservices).

• Cloud Infrastructure: AWS is not important for this position. Do not screen for heavy cloud architecture.

• Growth: High possibility of extension.

Technical Stack & Environment

• Language: Core Java. While the job description says Java 8+, the codebase is modernizing—most of the application is on Java 21.

• Testing & Code Quality: Requires a heavy, proven background in JUnit and SonarQube. Candidates must have a strong Java development background to read, understand, and effectively test complex code.

• AI Tooling: The team primarily utilizes GitHub Copilot (no custom/proprietary AI testing suite right now). Experience using Copilot to automate and speed up unit testing is a major plus.

Role Overview ICM BTO enterprise models technology needs a Senior Java Developer to support growing business needs for model analytics for the company's mortgage portfolio. The developer will work closely with business partners to deliver a web application for our Finance division. You will play a meaningful role in driving activities in delivering the solution.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience.

• 4+ years of Java software development experience.

• A strong understanding of the Java language and Java 8+ standard library.

• Strong knowledge of automated Java test frameworks.

• Strong Java unit and integration testing skills for code coverage and correctness (JUnit / Mockito / SpringBoot Test / MockMvc / SonarQube).

• Familiarity with version control (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).

• Familiarity with databases and SQL.

• Ability to understand and write code documentation that conveys your solution to others.

Preferred Qualifications

• AI-Assisted Automatic Testing suite development experience is a plus.

• Knowledge of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks is a plus.

• Experience with Agile and Scrum development methodologies.

Keys to Success in this Role

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and technical skills.

• Ability to think critically and act expeditiously to evaluate situations, make decisions, and tackle problems.

• Flexible and versatile to adapt to any new environment and work on any project.

• Strong oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work well with a variety of personalities.

• Ability to work optimally with continuous change.

• Proven intuition for business, problem-solving skills, intellectual maturity, and relationship management skills.

• Must be a self-starter, quick learner, and diligent. Good interpersonal skills and the ability to partner optimally.

Here is the core reality of the role in three quick points:

• Testing Over Feature Development: The role is an 80/20 split dedicated almost entirely to test automation, code coverage, and correctness rather than building new features from scratch.

• Backend Java Monolith: Work is strictly backend within a monolithic Spring Boot architecture that is actively modernizing to Java 21 (no frontend or cloud/AWS experience required).

• Advanced QA & AI Tooling: Requires deep expertise in Java testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito, SonarQube), and highly values candidates who use GitHub Copilot to accelerate unit testing.
