Blue Star Families

Blue Star Families strengthens military families and our nation by connecting communities and fostering leadership. We're a leading non-profit organization providing impactful programs and data-driven research to address the unique challenges faced by military families. Our work influences policy and fosters a sense of belonging for those who serve and their loved ones. We leverage a robust technology stack including ASP.NET, Cloudflare (hosting and CDN), and DNSSEC for a secure and reliable online presence. Our engineering practices emphasize agility and collaboration within a primarily virtual work environment. We pride ourselves on a flexible, supportive culture that values innovation and data-driven decision-making. Our commitment to inclusivity and a strong sense of mission drives our work. Blue Star Families boasts a track record of success, securing significant funding and achieving impactful results through our various initiatives, including the annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey and the Campaign for Inclusion. As a growing organization with a substantial online reach, we offer competitive salaries and benefits, including remote work flexibility and professional development opportunities. We are always looking for talented and passionate individuals to join our team and make a difference in the lives of military families. Founded in 2012, we're a small but mighty team of 1-10 employees headquartered in California but with a national reach and virtual workforce. We've received substantial grant funding, most recently a $1 million grant from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation in December 2023, demonstrating the impact and value of our work.
