About Us
Blueprint is a software talent agency that builds and places high-caliber engineers directly into product teams at fast-growing tech companies.
Our engineers are trusted to think, decide, execute—and most importantly— own outcomes . Clients come to us when quality, speed, and judgment matter more than headcount.
We operate globally and remotely, with a strong bias toward autonomy and accountability.
Were looking for people who thrive in fast-paced startup environments and take initiative and ownership while working closely with our partners.
