About BlackSpade:

At BlackSpade, we value engineering capability and low-level logic over a legacy corporate resume. Traditional software roles are evolving rapidly, and our firm is scaling to meet the enterprise demand for AWS, DevOps, and Agentic AI Orchestration. If you are a high-aptitude engineer who understands systems architecture but lacks a long formal corporate history, we want to talk to you.

We don't hire resumes; we hire brains.

The Role & Career Path:

You will join BlackSpade as an Associate Engineer. To ensure alignment with our high-stakes enterprise projects, your first 3 weeks will consist of an intensive, fully paid internal onboarding and technical immersion framework focused on Enterprise DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, and Agentic AI workflows.

Following successful completion of our onboarding track, you will be deployed on-site with our premium enterprise partners in Finance, Fintech, and Technology sectors in Manhattan, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley.

The BlackSpade Engineering Guild:

You will not be operating in a silo. As a BlackSpade engineer, you receive continuous, direct 1-on-1 technical and architectural guidance from our senior engineering staff embedded within top-tier systems across the country. We provide the infrastructural support and continuous engineering education you need to excel in enterprise environments.

Enterprise Portfolio: Build an elite, enterprise-grade engineering profile quickly.
