Job Description

Senior Backend Engineer, High-Throughput Platforms

Bright Vision Technologies

• Design and build internal platform services and shared infrastructure that hundreds of engineers depend on every day, with explicit focus on developer experience and operational ergonomics. • Architect high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend platforms capable of sustaining very high request volumes with predictable, well-bounded tail latency. • Build durable, replayable event-processing pipelines and asynchronous job execution platforms that other product teams compose to ship features faster. • Design and operate caching, rate-limiting, and request-shaping layers that protect upstream systems and enable safe scaling under bursty workloads. • Develop platform abstractions, SDKs, and paved-road libraries that codify best practices and let product teams consume capabilities without re-implementing them. • Establish robust observability, SLOs, and capacity-planning practices for platform services, raising the operational bar across the organization. • Drive multi-region, fault-tolerant, and geo-distributed designs with rigorous attention to availability, durability, and graceful degradation under failure. • Lead incident response for high-impact platform issues, conduct blameless post-mortems, and drive durable engineering improvements that prevent recurrence. • Define and enforce platform-wide standards around API design, schema evolution, deployment, and backward-compatibility guarantees. • Optimize platform performance through careful profiling, data-driven tuning, and algorithmic improvements that move the needle on throughput and cost. • Partner with infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to ensure platform services meet enterprise reliability, compliance, and security obligations. • Mentor mid-level engineers and lead architectural discussions across teams, helping the broader organization grow in distributed-systems maturity. • Produce clear technical design documents, decision records, and operational runbooks that make the platform legible to future maintainers. • Continuously evaluate emerging platform technologies, open-source projects, and architectural patterns for strategic adoption.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • 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.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
