About the company

Blue Acorn iCi designs and builds online stores and digital content experiences for global brands that need to connect customers with their products. Its work spans the path from deciding which technology to use through implementing platforms and improving how customers move through a website. The company combines design and technical consulting with hands-on services for enterprise clients, including the migration of existing sites to different commerce systems. Brands hire its teams for transformation programs, platform implementations and ongoing optimization rather than buying a single standalone application. Part of Infosys, Blue Acorn iCi formed in a 2019 merger and is headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina.

What believers are saying

  • Remote work is part of the model: Blue Acorn iCi describes its culture as remote-first.
  • Employees get work tools: Blue Acorn iCi says it invests in software and equipment for all employees.
  • Pay expectations are explicit: its remote Adobe Experience Platform Architect role lists annual base pay of $140,000-$195,000.

What critics are saying

  • Senior architects juggle client demands: the listed platform architect advises multiple accounts and supports pre-sales.
  • US applicants need independent work authorization: its careers board excludes employer visa sponsorship now and in future.
