Black Cape Tenets of Success

At Black Cape, we believe that people are our greatest asset. When you join the Black Cape team, you become part of a group of dedicated professionals committed to mission success and continuous growth. Black Cape strives to ensure that your skills, experience, and aspirations align with impactful projects, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We seek to recruit talented people with varied experience levels including college graduates, exiting military personnel, talented subject matter experts (SMEs), and seasoned professionals from the industry with years of experience. The following tenets are crucial to what makes Black Cape perform at a high level each and every day.

Flexible AGILE Development Processes with an Emphasis on Time Management

TeamworkWe believe good teams and continual learning are core to delivering extraordinary results. Our teams are typically 4-8 engineers that fully understand and manage the software development lifecycle and the project management process. Teams come up with agile processes that work for their customers rather than strict adherence to any one standard. Engineers are responsible for everything from requirements gathering and sprint planning to UI development, backend coding, testing, DevOps, and deployment. On a daily basis, you will have a standup with your team, hold design sessions to work through tough issues, or plan the next sprint.

Engineers are Professionals

Start UpWe believe in treating our engineers like professionals. That means providing engineers with top of the technology, creating policies that allow flexible work locations, and time off plans that make sense. This also means that we expect the very best out of our engineers and a high level of maturity in your conduct and actions. We want engineers to use the latest tools and techniques to generate game changing results for our customers. Our customers look to us for innovative solutions, and as engineers, we constantly sharpen our skills while adding new tricks to our bag.

Mentorship and Constant Learning

Growing UpBlack Cape seeks people who strive to learn and improve their skills. This includes conducting research on new techniques or state-of-the-art methods to solve problems, working on important AWS or COMPTIA certifications, or using your time off work to develop personal projects that make you a better developer. Do you have a desire to help junior engineers refine their skills and become better engineers? Do you want to learn to leverage new and improved technology to meet exacting customer requirements? We want learners that want to take new, innovative ideas and apply them to our mission sets.
