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 company is seeking a Backend Software Engineer to design, build, and operate foundational high-throughput platforms and shared services. The role involves developing request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching, asynchronous job execution, and durable event-processing capabilities while leading platform initiatives and improving developer experience.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate the foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products
• Build 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

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
• 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
