Lead backend platform development for high-throughput distributed systems and shared services. Responsibilities include designing request routing, traffic management, caching, asynchronous processing, event-driven architectures, and data platforms. The role involves operating reliable systems, leading multi-quarter initiatives, making technical decisions across teams, mentoring engineers, producing technical documentation, and improving internal developer experience.
Lead Backend Developer – Remote
Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential.
Job Title: Lead Backend Developer
Location: 100% Remote (U.S.)
Position Type: Full-time, Direct W2
Salary Range: $80,000–$95,000 Annually
Experience Required: 6+ years
Sponsorship: U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply. We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.
Job Summary
We are seeking a Lead Backend Developer 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 — 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. The ideal candidate combines deep distributed systems expertise with strong platform-engineering instincts, values internal developer experience as a first-class concern, and has a track record of leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for the organizations they support.
