Senior Backend Developer

About the role

Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer to design, build, and operate foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products. This role focuses on building backend platform capabilities—request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing—that must handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-throughput platform components including request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing.
• Build and operate internal platforms or shared services consumed by multiple engineering teams.
• Ensure systems handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational overhead.
• Lead multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for supported organizations.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to manage technical decisions and trade-offs.
• Mentor engineers and shape engineering culture through code review, design review, and onboarding contributions.

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.
• Track record building and operating internal platforms or shared services consumed by multiple engineering teams.
• 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.
• Strong working knowledge of data storage systems across relational, key-value, document, and search workloads.
• Ability to lead 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.

Preferred 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.
