Backend Application Engineer
Bright Vision Technologies
Role Description We are seeking a Backend Application Engineer focused on high-throughput platform development to design, build, and operate the foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products. This role focuses on building backend platform capabilities that must handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil. Key Responsibilities - 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. Qualifications - 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. Preferred Qualifications - 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. Requirements - This is a 100% remote, full-time, direct W2 position with Bright Vision Technologies. - Candidates must be willing to work directly as a full-time W2 employee of Bright Vision Technologies and contribute to our in-house SOW deliverables. - No new H1B sponsorship is available for this role. - Candidates who are currently on a valid H1B visa and require a transfer are welcome to apply. - A technical coding assessment is mandatory. How to Apply For immediate consideration, please send your resume to [email protected] or contact us at (908) 505-3544.

Role Description We're looking for a Middle+ Software Engineer - Java/Kotlin to join our Auth team — a team that owns authorization for our mobile app Plata and for web, sitting at the intersection of authorization and infrastructure. Almost everything else depends on this domain working correctly, which makes the job both high-impact and genuinely hard: dozens of internal teams rely on us, requests may require upfront analysis and discovery, and a task that seems straightforward on paper can unveil fascinating architectural challenges once you dive in. It's the kind of environment where priorities shift and incidents happen — we are looking for someone who can adapt quickly to changing contexts and confidently design solutions, rather than waiting for a fully-scoped plan. Challenges that await you: - Work within our authorization domain, getting hands-on with OAuth2 flows and the AWS infrastructure behind them - Handle integrations and feature development for internal consumer teams - Clarify requirements with stakeholders, and design the solution - Participate in incident response and on-call rotations when things break, to keep our infrastructure robust - Build solid, high-quality solutions efficiently in a fast-paced environment - Launch new platform initiatives from the ground up as our ecosystem evolves Qualifications - Minimum of 3 years of experience in a similar position - Strong knowledge of one of the JVM languages (Java, Kotlin, or Scala). Currently, we are using Kotlin, and familiarity with it will be an advantage. - You have worked with Micronaut, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka - If you're not familiar with Micronaut but work with Spring and its ecosystem — we're looking for you too - Comfortable with ambiguity: you can take a vaguely described problem, figure out what's actually being asked, and design a reasonable solution yourself - Prior experience in a platform team (rather than pure product development) is a strong green flag — you know what it's like to serve many internal consumers and juggle competing priorities - B1 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team Requirements - Experience leading a non-trivial refactor, spotting architectural problems early, or designing systems in conditions of real uncertainty (Bonus) - An interest in eventually working with Go is also a plus (Bonus) Benefits - Relocation support to Serbia, Cyprus, Georgia or Kazakhstan with full visa & permit support to the employee and family - Flexible work from one of our offices or remote - Healthcare Coverage - Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications - Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements - Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave Company Description - Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions - Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication - Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community - Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together - High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who dare to challenge the status quo of incumbent finance
