Conversion to Full-Time: This is the heart of the program: residents who successfully complete the residency may be eligible to join Bluestaq full-time as an Associate Software Engineer. Full-time offers are contingent on performance and business need.
Position Description Ready to launch your software career? The Bluestaq Software Engineering Residency Program is an 11.5-week, paid, cohort-based program built around one goal: turning promising early-career developers into full-time Bluestaq Associate Software Engineers. This isn't a coffee-run internship. From week one you'll work real backlog items on the systems our U.S. Space Force customers use every day, guided by a dedicated engineer-mentor, and you'll close out the program by presenting your capstone work directly to Bluestaq engineering leadership.
Who We’re Looking For We're offering the residency to early-career software talent ready to commit to a full-time engineering role, including: final-year associate, undergraduate, or master's students (graduating by January 2027), recent graduates in Computer Science, Mathematics, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. If you're excited about learning fast, collaborating, and shipping real-world solutions, we want you on our team.
