Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. They are seeking a skilled Senior Backend Developer to design, build, and operate foundational platforms and shared services that enable other engineering teams to deliver their products.
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
- Design and operate caching, rate-limiting, and request-shaping layers that protect upstream systems and enable safe scaling under bursty workloads
- 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
Skills
- 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
- Strong working knowledge of data storage systems across relational, key-value, document, and search workloads
- 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
- 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
Benefits
- Full-time, direct W2 with Bright Vision Technologies (no C2C, no 1099, no third-party)
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
- Support H1B transfers for qualified candidates.
