Job Description

Blinq Technologies is revolutionizing professional networking with their digital business card platform that facilitates over 50 million new relationships annually. As the #1 digital business card solution, they're building the world's intelligence layer for professional relationships. The company has secured $45m+ in funding from prominent investors like Blackbird, Touring Capital, Hubspot Ventures, and Square Peg.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll be integral to the engineering team that powers Blinq's success. The role focuses on building and maintaining APIs and services that enable everything from identity sharing to real-time analytics. You'll work with Node.js and TypeScript to create secure, scalable systems while collaborating across frontend, mobile, and data teams.

The position requires 5+ years of backend development experience, with deep Node.js knowledge and strong async architecture fundamentals. You'll be working in a hybrid environment (3 days in office) with a fast-growing team across Sydney, San Francisco, Melbourne, and New York. The company offers significant benefits including equity ownership, competitive salary, generous PTO, and extensive parental leave.

This is an expression of interest posting, meaning while it's not an immediate opening, it's an opportunity to be considered for future positions that match your skills and experience. Blinq is at an inflection point - established enough to have momentum but small enough for you to make a significant impact. With their rapid growth, doubling ARR every few months, and exceptional customer satisfaction (4.9/5 App Store rating), it's an exciting time to join the team.
