Backend Software Engineer

Bright Vision Technologies is hiring a Backend Software Engineer to develop high-throughput foundational platforms and shared services used by engineering teams. The role focuses on distributed systems, traffic management, data processing, caching, and durable event processing with predictable latency and low operational overhead.

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

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
