Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bright Vision Technologies is a software development company that builds scalable, secure, and user-friendly solutions to help businesses automate and optimize operations. The Senior Backend Engineer will design, build, and operate large-scale distributed backend systems and services, focusing on scalability, reliability, performance, observability, and technical strategy. The role also involves architecture leadership, incident response, mentoring, and collaboration with SRE and platform teams.
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
