Senior Software Engineer

BluestaqColorado Springs, CO

About The Position

Senior Software Engineers are the technical anchors of our teams. You'll be the go-to person for a domain or service, ensuring that what we ship is not only functional but well-designed, tested, and sustainable. Your work will directly impact mission readiness, and your mentorship will shape the next generation of engineers at Bluestaq. You'll balance hands-on delivery with technical leadership, raising the bar for code quality and system design.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in multiple programming languages and frameworks
  • Proven ability to design and deliver complex features across the full stack
  • Deep understanding of software architecture patterns and design principles
  • Experience with automated testing strategies and test-driven development
  • Track record of mentoring junior engineers and improving team practices
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across distributed systems
  • Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and modern deployment practices
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly
  • You use modern AI tools with judgment: integrating them into workflows where they're impactful, reviewing their outputs, and handling proprietary or sensitive data responsibly.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with microservices architectures and distributed systems
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing
  • Background in performance optimization and scalability
  • Experience working on government, defense, or mission-critical systems
  • Knowledge of security best practices and secure coding standards
  • Contributions to open-source projects or technical communities
  • Experience with observability tools and practices (logging, metrics, tracing)
  • Familiarity with customer-facing environments, including Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs) or similar collaborative forums with stakeholders

Responsibilities

  • Own features and modules that span multiple components/services and require coordination with other teams or roles
  • Design and implement non-trivial features with clear tradeoffs (performance, readability, complexity, security)
  • Write solid tests (unit, integration, basic end-to-end) and help improve test coverage and reliability
  • Identify and address code smells, refactoring opportunities, and tech debt in your area
  • Understand core architecture patterns in use (microservices, event-driven, SPA, component-based UI) and work within them effectively
  • Operate independently within your product area: scope work, make reasonable design decisions, and proactively raise risks
  • Act as an escalation point for junior engineers when debugging issues or clarifying designs
  • Mentor others via pairing, feedback, and sharing context, not just fixing things yourself
  • Lead medium-sized features from idea → design → implementation → production → follow-up
  • Debug complex issues that span multiple components or services, including production incidents
  • Make incremental improvements to architecture, patterns, and tooling in your domain

Benefits

  • Relocation assistance may be available for this role and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
