Backend Software Engineer

Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. The Backend Software Engineer will design, build, and operate foundational platforms and shared services for high-throughput backend systems, including request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing. The role also involves leading multi-quarter platform initiatives, improving internal developer experience, and mentoring engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate the foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products
• 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
• Leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for the organizations they support

Requirements:

• 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
• U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply
• We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position
• 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
