Software Engineer - Mid

We are seeking talented software engineers with a passion for creating high-quality web applications. We're using our human-centered design approach to modernize legacy software used by our defense, federal, and commercial customers, replacing them with scalable web applications that improve their user experience and productivity.

Our purpose is singular — to optimize human performance through digital products.

To work at BluestoneLogic, you must have a strong background in web development. You’ll need to be comfortable working in a collaborative environment and have excellent communication skills. In addition, you should be able to work independently and as part of a team, and be committed to delivering projects on time.

You have...

• A curious mind. You enjoy digging into how technology works and then thinking about how you would do it differently. 
• A passion for turning innovative ideas into real solutions. You love a good technical challenge and you enjoy experimenting ways to solve it, even when your ideas fail.
• A desire to be understood. You speak clearly and write concisely. Your goal is to ensure your audience grasps your ideas, decisions, results, and recommendations.
• An open mind. You seek input from others to understand their perspective, and you appreciate constructive feedback on your work.
• A penchant for helping your teammates. You enjoy sharing your extensive knowledge and insights with others to help them improve their work and grow as engineers.

We have...

• A devotion to making technology work for people. We know technology can help people work faster, better, and smarter. We help our customers and users raise their productivity level and eliminate wasting their time.
• A dedication to detail. We believe semantics are critical to making our ideas a reality. We work hard to ensure that our team and our customers have a shared understanding of the products that we design and build.
• An affinity to action. We'd rather learn from our mistakes than wait until we designed the perfect solution. Sure, we plan our projects, but we want to get started as fast as possible then iterate until we find the best solution that works for our customers and users.
• A drive for continuous improvement. We are always looking for new ways to solve old problems. Whether they're for our customers or ourselves, we always seek opportunities to do something better.

• Experiment with modern technology to figure out how to solve our customers' complex problems
