About Blinq
Blinq is the AI contacts app for people who meet people.
We're on a mission to unlock the world's relationship potential. So much of what's possible in the world is locked inside relationships that never quite happen. A missed conversation, a forgotten follow-up, the right person at the wrong time. We're building so those chances aren't left to chance.
What started as the world's #1 digital business card is now used by 4 million professionals and at 93% of the Fortune 500. We've raised $45m+ from Blackbird, Square Peg, HubSpot Ventures, and Touring Capital.

Why join Blinq
You want to be part of an AI-native company at an inflection point. Big enough to have real momentum, customers, and resources. Small enough that the work you do shapes where it goes from here.
You want to do the best work of your life alongside people doing the same. We hold an unusually high bar for talent and we hire people who treat that as a feature, not a threat.
You want to build something globally ambitious from a part of the world that doesn't always think this big. Our team is in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco, and New York, and we're betting that the next category-defining company in our space comes from Australia.
You want to work in person, on purpose. Three days a week in the office, two wherever works for you. Creative energy and momentum compound face to face.
How we work
We've all joined Blinq to find out how good we really are. That shows up in how we work:
We are professional optimists. We think what's possible first and let constraints come second.
We hold an insanely high talent bar. A players only.
We are obsessed with craft. The details are the thing, not the polish on top of it.
We are truth obsessed. We say what's true even when it's uncomfortable,



and we have the courage to pursue contrarian but correct bets.
We do more with less. Calculated frugality and beautiful simplicity guide how we build.
We are all here to genuinely do our life's best work.
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.
Role & Impact
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 solid bias towards building high‐quality mobile experiences.
This is a hybrid role working from our Melbourne office.
What You'll Do
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
What You'll Bring
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
What you get
Equity and ownership.
We're building something massive and we want you to share in the upside. Genuinely.
Competitive salary and a real growth path.
As Blinq grows, your role and compensation grow with it.
Time to switch off.
20 days of annual leave plus a flexible policy for everything life throws at you beyond that.
Good times, often.
Team lunches, padel, games nights, Barry's sessions. We like hanging out and it shows.
Regular catered lunch
at some of our offices, plus an always‐stocked snack bar.
