Role
Who you are
- 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
Desirable
- 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
What the job involves

- 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
- You will have the opportunity to be part of something impactful, large-scale, and meaningful. Most importantly, you’ll work for a company with a strong purpose, with an ambitious and supportive team embarking on a journey most start-ups can only dream of!
Our take
Apps catering to frontline workers are seeing a surge of interest in the market these days, as businesses finally start to wake up to using tech to better connect with these employees, and investors eye up an interesting and new growth opportunity in enterprise IT.
Blink’s particular approach has been to try to create a user interface, and functionality, that caters both to asynchronous activities as well as real-time information, the idea being that front-line workers are most likely not going to be looking at the app continuously throughout the day, so the priority for making sure important things surface when they do is especially higher.
Blink was founded in London — where it has found strong traction with metropolitan bus networks and the NHS (where thousands of frontline workers in clinical and nonclinical roles are on Blink).
Now Blink is HQ’d in New York in an attempt to focus on the U.S. market. There are an estimated 2.7 billion people working on the front line according to the company, so there’s a fair amount of room for growth despite an increasingly competitive landscape with well-funded projects like Justworks, Workplace from Meta and When I Work.
