About Bluelight

Bluelight is building software tools to help home service contractors build successful businesses.

We are relentlessly pursuing a world where analytics and AI products deliver actual real-world value, not just hype.

The Job at a Glance

As a Product Engineer you will build and own products & features from beginning to end.

This means talking to users, understanding our strategy and goals, and figuring out what you (and the team) should be building next.

What You’ll Do

  • Product engineers at Bluelight are truly full stack. You’ll design and ship the front end in React/Next.js, write Postgres and/or Clickhouse queries, and, depending on the team, develop and fine-tune machine learning models in Python.

  • Develop and optimize applications within our tech stack (Next.js and Postgres).

  • Transform low-fidelity UX wireframes into high-quality, functional user interfaces.

  • Collaborate closely with the founding team to refine both product and technical roadmaps.

  • Design and implement effective product growth loops in partnership with our product team.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

Has a proven track record of successful projects that significantly improved user experience.

Possesses a deep understanding of software engineering principles and best practices.

Has hands-on experience developing and shipping applications using Next.js and Postgres.

Thrives in a startup environment—self-motivated, highly efficient, and capable of working independently.

Holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or has equivalent practical experience.

Why Bluelight?

Join us and contribute to a team that values innovation, efficiency, and direct impact. At Bluelight, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Work remotely with flexible hours.

Engage with a team that’s driven by innovation and committed to operational excellence.

Play a key role in a startup environment where your contributions have visible impacts.

Enjoy the potential for contract extension and further professional growth within our company.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you are a good fit for this role and Bluelight. Include examples of past projects related to user experience improvements or startup environments.
