🏢 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.

🎯 The Role

As a Senior Platform Engineer at Blinq, your customers are our engineers. You'll own the systems, pipelines and tooling that sit between an idea and a shipped feature, and make that path faster, safer and more enjoyable across every stack we build on: iOS, Android, and our TypeScript web and backend services on Google Cloud.

The role blends two things. Part of your time sits alongside our SRE team: making it easy for every engineer to instrument their own code and understand how it behaves in production, through the patterns, tooling and AI assistance that make good observability the default rather than a specialist skill. The larger part is developer experience: shortening CI/CD, building internal tools, paving the roads engineers use every day, and hardening how we detect and manage vulnerabilities. Security runs through all of it: the platform you build is how secure defaults reach every engineer, so the easy path and the safe path should be the same path.

Underneath all of it is AI. Blinq is an AI-native company and we expect the same of our engineering practice. You'll use AI tools heavily in your own work, and you'll be the person who works out where AI belongs in the developer workflow, builds the environments and guardrails that let coding agents do useful work, and brings the rest of the team along. Our ambition is a loop where writing, testing, building and distributing software can increasingly run end to end with AI in it, and the platform you build is what makes that possible.

This is not a back-office role. You'll spend a lot of your week with other engineers and with QA: pairing on their problems, sitting in their retros, watching where they lose time, and shipping fixes that they notice. The measure of success is whether engineers at Blinq say the platform made them faster.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Work with our SRE team to make observability self-serve: build the patterns, libraries, templates and AI-assisted workflows that let engineers instrument their own services and apps well, across RUM, APM, metrics and logging in Datadog.
• Turn what we learn from incidents and operational health into platform improvements that engineers benefit from without having to think about it.
• Make CI/CD meaningfully faster and more reliable across web, backend, iOS and Android: caching, parallelism, flaky-test detection, and release automation for the mobile stores.
• Make it fast and easy to spin up, test and share isolated environments for work in progress, across web, backend and mobile, for people and for automation.
• Partner with QA to make automated testing a natural part of how engineers work, with fast and trustworthy signal for engineers and agents alike.
• Own the inner loop: local and cloud development environments, seed data, scaffolding and templates, so a new engineer or a coding agent can be productive on day one.
• Build internal tools that remove toil, and retire ones that no longer earn their keep.
• Pair with product engineers on the problems that slow them down, and treat their feedback as your roadmap.
