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 is seeking a Senior Backend Developer focused on high-throughput platform development. The role designs, builds, and operates foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams use to deliver their products. Areas of focus include request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing, with requirements for very high traffic volumes, predictable latency, and minimal operational toil. The ideal candidate brings deep distributed systems expertise and platform-engineering instincts, treats internal developer experience as a first-class concern, and has led multi-quarter platform initiatives that raise engineering standards across an organization.

This is a full-time, direct W2 position that is 100% remote within the United States. The salary range is $100,000–$150,000 annually, and 11 or more years of professional backend or platform engineering experience are required. U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, EAD holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply; the company cannot sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• 11 or more years of professional backend or platform engineering experience.
• Demonstrated experience 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.
• Experience leading multi-quarter platform initiatives across teams, including stakeholder management and technical decision-making.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to author concise technical design documents and present trade-offs clearly.
• Ability to mentor engineers and shape engineering culture through code review, design review, and onboarding contributions.

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate foundational backend platforms and shared services used by multiple engineering teams.
• Develop platform capabilities for request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing.
• Build systems that handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil.
• Lead multi-quarter platform initiatives across teams, including stakeholder management and technical decision-making.
• Author technical design documents and communicate technical trade-offs clearly.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to engineering culture through code reviews, design reviews, and onboarding.
