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.

You would work closely with Product, Marketing, Sales and Engineering teams, collaborating with technical and non-technical peers to drive meaningful change. Be part of a start-up business and product-led growth at Blinq!

What You’ll Do

- In this role, you will become the strategic owner and technical leader of our data and analytics platforms.
- Building and optimising data pipelines which are scalable to support the collection, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data into databases, warehouses or lakes.
- Ensuring data quality and accuracy by implementing robust validation and observability processes.
- Collaborating closely with Product, Marketing, Sales and Engineering teams to align data systems with business goals and measure success effectively.




- Driving cross-functional efforts to address data integrity, reporting, and insights, while remediating inconsistencies and gaps.
- Documenting data processes, architecture, and workflows to ensure clarity and continuity across teams.

What You'll Bring

- You are a excellent collaborator who can work to understand the needs of different stakeholders and develop a strategy that considers each of these.
- You are an exceptionally strong communicator and are confident in advocating for data-driven practices and driving internal education around data.
- Extensive experience with SQL, data modeling tools like Dataform, and programming languages such as Python or R and data system architecture designs.
- Hands-on expertise with a modern event data stack and familiarity with tools such as Segment, Amplitude, BigQuery, Looker Studio, Google Analytics, SSGTM, CDP and AWS/GCP.
- A strong vision for building a scalable, reliable, and cutting-edge analytics platform, with the ability to develop a roadmap to achieve this.
- A solid grounding in mathematics, statistics, and data visualisation.
- Experience in MarTech and working with data systems that support machine learning workflows is desirable.
- High proficiency in A/B testing and event system design is also highly desirable.

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.
