Product and Engineering
Reporting to our CTO
We're not just closing the digital divide; we're reconnecting distributed organisations, enabling seamless communication, and re-engaging employees like never before. Blink, a mobile-first employee experience platform, puts everything employees need right in their hands. With teams in Boston, London, and Sydney, we're making waves worldwide, partnering with industry leaders like Domino's, JD Sports and McDonald's.
We're forming our first engineering squad dedicated to accelerating Blink's growth in the United States. The US is a key market for us, and this team will play a direct role in building the products and integrations that meet the needs of US customers — including core integrations with partners such as Workday. You'll work with a high degree of ownership, delivering outcomes end to end. The squad runs its own roadmap while staying aligned with other engineering squads on shared initiatives and technical direction.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer with strong React Native experience to join a team of talented developers, engineers and designers building the future of the digital workplace. Our product is highly secure, highly available, performant and beautifully designed. Day to day, you'll:
- Build solutions that make people's everyday work lives easier, across both our mobile apps and web platform - through the use of intuitive interfaces and thoughtfully curated AI tools.
- Work with UI/UX and product designers on new ways of interacting with applications, including a 'conversational UI'.
- Debug, fix and improve application performance.
- Write clean, well-documented, maintainable code while rapidly iterating and shipping.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
You're ambitious and want to grow in a fast-moving company: resourceful, inquisitive, a fast learner who picks up new concepts quickly and empathises with customer pain points. You're proactive, happy to push boundaries, and work well both independently and as part of a team. Specifically, you'll bring:
- Mobile & full-stack development: Extensive experience with TypeScript across React Native, React, and backend technologies (we use Java + Scala), plus SQL — designing, developing and maintaining full-stack features, mobile experiences and seamless integrations with external systems.
- Backend depth: Proficiency in a statically-typed, JVM-based backend language such as Scala or Java.
- Architecture: Detailed knowledge of architectural patterns and how to apply them.
- UI craft: Skill in writing responsive, accessible and maintainable UI components.
- Quality: A proven track record of clean, testable, maintainable code, and experience with unit and integration testing, CI and CD. You consistently level up the codebase.
- Problem-solving & scalability: The ability to build scalable, durable features in high-availability environments.
- Ambition & drive: A self-starter with a growth mindset, eager to take on tough challenges and contribute meaningfully to the team and company.
- Adaptability & communication: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can articulate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Nice to Have
- Prior production experience with Scala and/or Java.
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with Grafana and other monitoring tools.
- Embraced AI-powered development lifecycle
