Senior Backend Developer

About the role

Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. We leverage cutting-edge technologies to create scalable, secure, and user-friendly applications. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a skilled Senior Backend Developer to join our dynamic team and contribute to our mission of transforming business processes through technology.

Responsibilities

• Design and build internal platform services and shared infrastructure that hundreds of engineers depend on every day, with explicit focus on developer experience and operational ergonomics.
• Architect high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend platforms capable of sustaining very high request volumes with predictable, well-bounded tail latency.
• Build durable, replayable event-processing pipelines and asynchronous job execution platforms that other product teams compose to ship features faster.
• Develop platform abstractions, SDKs, and paved-road libraries that codify best practices and let product teams consume capabilities without re-implementing them.
• Establish robust observability, SLOs, and capacity-planning practices for platform services, raising the operational bar across the organization.
• Drive multi-region, fault-tolerant, and geo-distributed designs with rigorous attention to availability, durability, and graceful degradation under failure.
• Lead incident response for high-impact platform issues, conduct blameless post-mortems, and drive durable engineering improvements that prevent recurrence.
• Define and enforce platform-wide standards around API design, schema evolution, deployment, and backward-compatibility guarantees.
• Optimize platform performance through careful profiling, data-driven tuning, and algorithmic improvements that move the needle on throughput and cost.
• Partner with infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to ensure platform services meet enterprise reliability, compliance, and security obligations.
• Mentor mid-level engineers and lead architectural discussions across teams, helping the broader organization grow in distributed-systems maturity.
• Produce clear technical design documents, decision records, and operational runbooks that make the platform legible to future maintainers.
• Continuously evaluate emerging platform technologies, open-source projects, and architectural patterns for strategic adoption.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Six or more years of professional backend or platform engineering experience.
• Demonstrated track record building and operating internal platforms or shared services consumed by multiple engineering teams.
• Strong, hands-on expertise designing distributed systems with rigorous attention to consistency, availability, latency, and failure-mode behavior.
• Advanced proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, Scala, Rust, or modern C++.
• Deep understanding of high-throughput messaging, streaming, and event-driven architectures using technologies such as Kafka, Pulsar, or NATS.
• Proven experience leading multi-quarter platform initiatives across teams, including stakeholder management and technical decision-making.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to author crisp technical design documents and present trade-offs clearly.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and shape engineering culture through code review, design review, and onboarding contributions.

Qualifications

• Experience operating Kubernetes-based platforms or contributing to internal developer-platform initiatives at scale.
• Contributions to widely-used open-source platform or infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with control-plane / data-plane patterns, service mesh internals, or workflow-orchestration engines.
• Experience designing platform APIs with strong backward-compatibility and versioning guarantees.
• Public technical writing, conference talks, or other community contributions on platform engineering topics.

Skills

• Strong backend programming skills in Java, Go, Scala, Rust, or modern C++.
• Experience with high-throughput messaging systems like Kafka, Pulsar, or NATS.
• Knowledge of data storage systems including relational, key-value, document, and search workloads.
• Proficiency in distributed systems design and architecture.
• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills.
