Senior Backend Developer
About The Position
Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. The company describes this as an opportunity with significant career growth potential. The Senior Backend Developer is a full-time, direct W2 role, remote within the United States, with a stated annual salary range of $100,000–$150,000. The position requires 11 or more years of experience. The employer cannot sponsor new H-1B visa petitions; U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, EAD holders, and candidates transferring an H-1B are encouraged to apply. The role focuses on high-throughput platform development. The developer will design, build, and operate foundational platforms and shared services used by other engineering teams. These capabilities include request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing. The systems must support very high traffic volumes while maintaining predictable latency and minimizing operational toil. The ideal candidate brings deep distributed-systems expertise, strong platform-engineering instincts, a commitment to internal developer experience, and experience leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that raise engineering standards.
Requirements
