Job Description:
We are looking for a senior backend engineer with complex async integration experience who can own a vertical slice end-to-end—from API contracts down to stored procedures—cross language boundaries when needed and grow into the broader platform.
Core Requirements:
Backend Java: Deep familiarity with the core provisioning stack, including:
Spring Boot / Spring Framework: Dependency injection, service-layer architecture, and configuration management.
Spring MVC / REST controllers: Building and consuming RESTful endpoints, request/response modeling, and error handling.
JAX-WS or Spring-WS: SOAP service consumption and integration across internal service hops.
Spring Data JDBC / JPA or raw JDBC: Database access patterns, transaction management, and stored procedure execution.
Maven or Gradle: Build tooling, dependency management, and multi-module project structures.
JUnit / Mockito: Unit/integration testing and mocking external dependencies in complex flows.
Java concurrency fundamentals: Thread safety and async callback correlation across long-lived request chains.
Logging / observability: Structured logging (SLF4J/Logback) and distributed tracing for triage and debugging.
T-SQL / MSSQL: Stored procedures, schema migrations, query optimization, concurrent safety, and idempotent migration patterns.
Distributed Systems / Async Patterns: Experience with callback-driven flows across multiple hops, including correlation, ordering, and failure modes in async chains.
Couchbase / Elasticsearch: Understanding cache consistency implications for critical writes during the provisioning flow.
Integration Debugging: Ability to trace failures across system boundaries using logs and callbacks involving multiple external systems.
Security Awareness: Proactive identification of exposure risks when handling sensitive credentials across service hops.
Nice to Have:
.NET / C#: Ability to read, navigate, and debug C# code (particularly WCF SOAP services and ASP.NET) to triage cross-boundary issues independently.
WCF / SOAP Patterns in .NET: Familiarity with .NET SOAP implementations (service/data contracts, binding configurations) to debug payload mismatches or integration failures.
Telecom / eSIM Domain Literacy: Understanding SIM lifecycle concepts (ICCID, IMEI, profile status, activation codes, eUICC).
SMPP / SMS Messaging: Familiarity with the SMPP protocol, SMS message flows, and gateway architecture.
We are an equal opportunity employer. All aspects of employment including the decision to hire, promote, discipline, or discharge, will be based on merit, competence, performance, and business needs. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, citizenship/ immigration status, veteran status, or any other status protected under federal, state, or local law.

Senior Backend Developer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior backend developer in Texas?
Senior backend developer roles in Texas do not require a state-issued license or registration. Employers typically look for a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, combined with several years of progressively complex engineering work. Texas's large technology and financial services employers expect demonstrated experience with cloud platforms, distributed systems, and API design, and many promote internally from mid-level engineering positions to senior roles based on project impact and technical depth.
How much do senior backend developers make in Texas?
Senior backend developers in Texas earn a median of about $132,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,600 for the lowest 10% to over $183,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior backend developers in Texas?
Employers hiring senior backend developers in Texas right now include BV Teck, EY, and Photon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, major financial institutions, and rapidly scaling technology companies means consistent, year-round demand for experienced backend engineers.
Which Texas cities have the most senior backend developer jobs?
Plano, Dallas, and Austin have the most senior backend developer openings in Texas. Austin's dense technology ecosystem and the presence of major corporate campuses drive volume there, Dallas attracts financial services and enterprise software firms, and Houston's energy-sector companies and growing healthcare networks create steady demand for backend engineers managing large-scale data and integration systems.
Are there remote senior backend developer jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 69% of senior backend developer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how effectively backend engineering work translates to distributed team environments. Roles focused on API development, cloud infrastructure, and data pipeline engineering are the most consistently offered on a fully remote basis.
How can I get hired as a senior backend developer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a junior or associate software engineer role at a mid-size Texas technology company or a large employer with a formal new-graduate program, such as the engineering rotational programs run by Dell Technologies in Austin or JPMorgan Chase in Plano. Building a portfolio of deployed projects using cloud services and open-source contributions strengthens a candidacy significantly. Adjacent roles in QA automation, DevOps, or data engineering at Texas firms also serve as practical bridges into backend development.
