Blackbird | Dev Shop | Remote (US only) | Contract

Blackbird builds web, mobile, IoT products for startups and innovative companies. We work on interesting, greenfield projects, and rely on small, veteran teams who have lots of autonomy. Everyone is a remote contractor, and our work culture is low-drama and highly collaborative. No pointless meetings, no bureaucracy, no egos and lots of time spent building things. Projects typically range from 3-12 months and usually require full time hours (35/week).

We’re looking for senior full stack engineers / CTO consultants / data scientists. We value engineers who are strong technically as well as great communicators. We work with lots of freelancers who appreciate the steady, interesting work.

Our typical stack is TypeScript, React, Postgres, and AWS although it will vary project to project.

If you enjoy moving fast, working with great engineers, and building something from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.

If interested, reach out directly to me at vance [at] blackbird.us with your resume, link to your LinkedIn, and a small blurb on why you think you'd be a good fit. Must be based in the USA and have 5+ years of engineering experience.
