Technology Fellow

Blue Cypress is seeking a technology fellow - an entry level position for a recent graduate from a bachelors or masters degree in Computer Science. 

Blue Cypress is a technology incubator exclusively dedicated to building SaaS and AI products for the social sector (non profits, associations, NGOs). We believe that driving transformative change in our world by supporting these organizations with cutting edge technology is a deeply meaningful purpose and seek team members who align with these beliefs.

Purpose & Philosophy 

The Blue Cypress Labs Technology Fellowship is a 3-year, high-intensity career accelerator designed to transform top-tier computer science graduates into future leaders. The program’s purpose is to: 

• Accelerate your development into a founder-level technologist within 3 years 
• Provide broad exposure to technologies, companies, and product contexts across the Blue Cypress ecosystem 
• Provide the opportunity to directly serve nonprofits, associations, and other social-impact organizations. You don’t just learn cutting-edge technology; you apply it to strengthen communities and create technology that matters 

We offer outsized career growth: fellows graduate positioned to lead new ventures, become senior leaders within portfolio companies, or launch their own startups. 

Core differentiators:

1. Founder-level access — direct mentorship from the Chairman, CTO, and the rest of Blue Cypress Leadership Team 
2. Breadth of exposure — rotations across projects, products, and companies 
3. Leadership opportunities — mentoring peers as early as Year 2, leading projects by Year 3 
4. Career acceleration — Startup-founder-readiness in 3 years vs. 7–10 years in traditional tracks 

Rotations 

• Year 1–2: Rotate across technologies, companies, and product contexts to build a broad “CTO toolkit” 
• Year 3: Specialize as project leads, incubate ventures, and operate independently of the CTO and Chairman except for strategic guidance 

Workload & Recovery:

• The fellowship is incredibly intensive (60-70 hours/week is typical) 
• We embrace a “work hard, play hard” philosophy, pairing deep focus and effort with intentional recovery 
• Recovery periods are actively supported so fellows can sustain peak performance and long-term growth 
• In addition, we create opportunities to have fun together as a group, building camaraderie and making the journey enjoyable as well as intense 

This position is open only to US Citizens and permanent residents. Candidates with OPT/CPT will not be considered.
