Blackbird Studios | Sr Developers and Design-gineer | Remote in Americas or Western Europe | Contract to hire
Blackbird is a software dev studio specialized in a Human Centered approach to launching totally new, high-impact software products for a wide variety of public and private sector clients, from early stage startups to Fortune 50 companies. We don’t do marketing sites! We build complex, cool, interactive fullstack web and mobile applications that are fun to build, challenging, and that people use every day. We work directly with brands or through partnerships with some of the top design studios in the world (like IDEO).
Blackbird is very different from most other software studios. We operate in very collaborative and strategic relationships with our clients and partners which gives us a uniquely strategic seat at the table and the opportunity to regularly deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business, then build, launch, and evolve new software products from the ground up.
Our services include CTO consulting, software development, UX/UI, training and capabilities building. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 2-12 months with 2-10 people on each project to build full stack web, mobile, IoT, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is Typescript, React, React Native, Node (recently loving Remix!). We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Flutter, Elixir/Phoenix, Rails, Swift, and Kotlin. We are a remote-first company but with very active collaboration on video and Slack. Occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings.
We are looking for people who are excited about building great software products, who are great teammates, and who are passionate about continuously refining best practices for creating successful digital products. Experience in dev team leadership, new product development, collaboration with business and design stakeholders, and consulting experience are not required but are all huge plusses.
Specifically, right now we are looking for:
- Sr full stack developers
- Lead level full stack devs with experience in team leadership roles
- A design-gineer.
For that last role, we're working on a cool internal design-tech project and need an awesome UX designer who also understands code and dev workflow.
Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume, Github, or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!
The design-gineer role: would you consider someone who started their career in design, works closely with designers, but has been predominately a full-stack developer for a decade?
I wouldn’t refer to myself as a designer today, but it’s in my roots, interests, and I still love to be involved in it. I’ve built a few basic visual simulators and editors, and it’s kind of my happy place; right between the heavy lifting of abstracting complex logic and the art and science making it look, perform, and feel great. If that’s anything like what the role entails, I’d love to chat.
