Head of Engineering

The first interaction two people have is the bedrock of all strong business relationships. If you can make that experience special, you can start to build a great second interaction, and so on. Blinq is the tool to help people do that. We're building a platform that allows you to share a snapshot of who you are with anyone, anywhere via digital business cards, dynamic email signatures and virtual backgrounds. Our ambition is to become the live identity layer on the internet and truly transform the way people connect.

🏆 Come be part of the fastest growing venture-backed startup in Australia. As an early member of Blinq, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape the direction of the company in a self-managed, results-driven start-up. There’s no corporate nonsense here and zero micro-managing. You are your own boss. You’ll get guidance and support from our small, energetic team and feel empowered to perform at your best to ultimately delight our users. Our product is B2C and B2B, and bottom-up SaaS product-led growth.

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to lead web and mobile engineering teams. This is a senior hands-on role where you will get stuck into the code. As we grow, you'll lead teams. You'll also help set the engineering culture and build a team of world-class developers. You'll report to the CEO.
