Senior Software Engineer

Vivid is building the first Resilience Posture Management platform. Our AI continuously maps your full recovery stack - across backups, infrastructure, recovery plans, and dependencies to provide real-time visibility into what will recover and what won’t, tests your recovery capabilities, and proactively identifies and fixes risks before it’s too late.

For the first time, organizations can truly understand and manage their recovery risk - transforming resilience from a wishful assumption into a managed capability.

Mission: Build the scalable backend engine that powers Backup Posture and the Detection Engine.

We are seeking a self-sufficient Senior Backend Engineer with extensive experience to join our team. You will take ownership of critical architectural components and lead initiatives, own the data highways and the logic layer, ensuring our platform processes telemetry from thousands of assets efficiently.
