What is Blinq?
Blinq is building the fastest, most intuitive way to share who you are and remember who you meet. What started as the world’s #1 digital business card is now the starting point for over 50 million new relationships a year - and growing at unicorn pace.
 
Our vision is to build the world’s intelligence layer for professional relationships - one that remembers for you, prompts when it matters, and keeps you in play. If that’s the kind of scale and ambition you want to be part of, you’re in the right place.

Why You’ll Love It Here
Rapid growth: Doubling ARR every few months, expanding our product surface, and rapidly building our team across Sydney, San Francisco, Melbourne, and New York.
Well-resourced: $45m+ raised from the likes of Blackbird, Touring Capital, Hubspot Ventures, and Square Peg - we’re continuously investing in the people and tools that fuel our mission.
A rare moment to join: We’re hitting an inflection point - big enough to have momentum, small enough for you to shape the journey.
Customers love it: 140k+ reviews and a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store - people around the world rely on Blinq to make that first interaction count.
We work in person, on purpose: We believe creativity and energy are better face-to-face - so we spend 3 days a week in the office and the rest where you work best.
 
Engineering at Blinq
Our engineering team is the engine behind Blinq’s success. We’re building tools that make sharing who you are instant and human. Every line of code, every release, and every experiment is focused on driving meaningful impact. If you thrive on solving complex, high-impact problems with a tight-knit team, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager / Senior Engineering Manager with a strong mobile background to lead one of our core product teams.
 
This is a hands-on, player-coach role. You won’t just set direction - you’ll actively contribute to the codebase, unblock engineers, and lead from the front on complex technical problems.
 
We’re looking for someone who is deeply technical, not afraid to get on the tools, and who leads by example.
 
You’ll balance technical leadership, people leadership, and execution, with a strong bias towards building high-quality mobile experiences.
 
This is a hybrid role working from our Melbourne office.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of mobile engineers 

  • Actively contribute to the codebase - designing systems, reviewing code, and shipping features alongside your team

  • Set and uphold a high technical bar through hands-on involvement in architecture, design, and implementation

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data to define roadmap and priorities

  • Drive best practices in Android development, including architecture, testing, performance, and scalability

  • Maintain a high bar for code quality, reliability, and user experience

  • Support hiring efforts and help build a world-class engineering team

  • Foster a strong, inclusive, and high-ownership engineering culture

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in Android development

  • 2+ years of experience leading or managing engineering teams (or strong informal leadership experience)

  • Strong hands-on coding ability - you are comfortable jumping into the codebase and contributing meaningfully

  • Strong proficiency in Kotlin and modern Android frameworks

  • Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns (e.g. MVVM, Clean Architecture)

  • Experience with performance optimization, offline support, and reliability in mobile apps

  • Ability to balance shipping quickly with maintaining high engineering standards

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
