Combining design, tech & talent to drive business growth

Originally founded on mobile development, Bilue is now a design and technology leader across mobile, cloud, web, enterprise integrations, TV and emerging technologies.

We offer the end-to-end capabilities of a large agency with the attitude and approach of a nimble independent. We create multi-disciplined teams that form close collaborative relationships with our clients and third party vendors.

We provide clients with multi-platform engineering, Agile delivery and quality assurance, monitoring, support & maintenance, strategic consulting, experience design, and brand and UI design.

We’ve worked with leading brands like Woolworths, Guzman y Gomez, Stan, Seek, and Domain.com.au.

Bilue
Everything about Bilue excited me, from the logo to the history of the name. When I further looked up the company culture, description, the socials and whilst talking to Biluers during the interview process, I said to myself “I want to be a Biluer!
Amazing, talented people to work with. There’s always help available when needed, and everyone is extremely warm and friendly. The CEO is one of the best I’ve ever worked with, so down to earth and approachable.

Engineering culture

We work on client projects as part of an agency model at Bilue.

We’ll usually spend around one year with a client on average, with check-ins around the 6 to 9 month mark to make sure we’re enjoying the work and that our talents are being best used. We work in an embedded way, joining client teams and working alongside their people.

Engineers at Bilue follow an agile (Scrum) way of working with retrospectives and sprints. Collaboration happens across tools like Slack, Jira, Miro, Figma, and Zoom.

We don’t try to impose a “one size fits all” way of working on our clients. Instead, we prefer to fit in seamlessly with client teams, adopting our client’s preferred ways of working while still contributing improvements, new ideas and solutions, and gently challenging the status quo when it makes sense. For example, we recently introduced “Desk Checks” with some of our clients, where we encourage technological knowledge sharing between teams.

Most engineers at Bilue work remotely four days a week and come into one of our offices in Sydney or Melbourne one day a week.

Engineers usually aren’t required to work on the client site, although we might occasionally travel to visit our clients for a special occasion like a workshop or team lunch.

The engineering team comes together every fortnight to participate in communities of practice around iOS and Android engineering. We also run a company wide weekly showcase on Friday morning to share our learnings and progress with the rest of the Bilue team.

The team actively participates in the engineering community, helping to organise the CocoaHeads and Google Developer Groups meetups. (Bilue is also the major sponsor of Sydney CocoaHeads, with Bilue’s CEO, one of the original co-founders).

You’ll thrive as an engineer at Bilue if you’re curious, have strong technical fundamentals, are passionate about technology, and enjoy learning new things. Working with a diverse range of clients and technologies means there’s plenty of opportunity for technical and professional growth at Bilue.
