Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with deep expertise in distributed systems to design, build, and operate large-scale, high-throughput backend services that power mission-critical workloads.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement large-scale distributed backend systems using Java, Go, Scala, or similar high-performance languages
• Architect data partitioning, replication, and consistency strategies appropriate to each workload’s requirements
• Build resilient APIs and event-driven services with strong observability, idempotency, and graceful degradation patterns
• Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and cost, using profiling, benchmarking, and load testing
• Lead detailed architecture reviews, technical design discussions, and trade-off analyses
• Implement robust failure-handling patterns including retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and saga workflows
• Design and operate data stores at scale, including relational, key-value, document, and search engines
• Build comprehensive observability into services with structured logs, metrics, and distributed tracing
• Drive incident response and post-incident learning for critical backend services
• Mentor mid-level engineers and lead by example in code quality, design, and operational rigor
• Partner with SRE and platform teams to drive reliability improvements and reduce operational toil
• Contribute to long-term architecture and platform strategy, helping shape multi-year technical roadmaps and ensuring near-term execution remains aligned with the broader engineering direction
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time

Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
• Six or more years of professional backend engineering experience, with significant time on distributed systems
• Strong programming skills in Java, Go, Scala, or similar
• Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts, including consensus, replication, and CAP trade-offs
• Hands-on experience with high-throughput message systems such as Kafka
• Experience operating systems at scale, including capacity planning and performance tuning
• Strong SQL skills and experience with both relational and NoSQL data stores
• Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills
• Excellent communication, documentation, and mentorship skills
• Experience leading complex technical initiatives across multiple teams
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-based platforms in production
• Exposure to service-mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)
• Familiarity with chaos engineering practices and tools
• Open-source contributions to relevant distributed systems projects

Benefits

• Full-time, direct W2 with Bright Vision Technologies (no C2C, no 1099, no third-party)
• Long-term, multi-year, aligned to the Bright Vision SOW delivery roadmap
