## Job description

Company Overview:

[Blink Health](https://www.blinkhealth.com/)is the fastest growing healthcare technology company that builds products to make prescriptions accessible and affordable to everybody.  Our two primary products – BlinkRx and Quick Save – remove traditional roadblocks within the current prescription supply chain, resulting in better access to critical medications and improved health outcomes for patients.

[BlinkRx](https://www.blinkhealth.com/blinkrx)is the world’s first pharma-to-patient cloud that offers a digital concierge service for patients who are prescribed branded medications. Patients benefit from transparent low prices, free home delivery, and world-class support on this first-of-its-kind centralized platform. With BlinkRx, never again will a patient show up at the pharmacy only to discover that they can’t afford their medication, their doctor needs to fill out a form for them, or the pharmacy doesn’t have the medication in stock.

We are a highly collaborative team of builders and operators who invent new ways of working in an industry that historically has resisted innovation. Join us!

Senior Software Engineer

## About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer at Blink, you'll take on some of our most critical technical challenges and drive high-impact product development. You’ll lead the design and execution of solutions that ensure millions of customers have seamless, affordable access to prescription medications. You’ll work hands-on, but also shape our technical strategy, mentor engineers, and partner cross-functionally with product, design, data, and operations to accelerate Blink’s growth.

We believe in pragmatic engineering using trusted tools like AWS, Python, JavaScript, MySQL/Postgres, and Linux. We value simplicity, bias for action, and a deep focus on customer impact. This is an opportunity to be both a strategic leader and a builder.

What Success Looks Like

- You lead architecture and execution for complex features or systems across multiple teams or domains.
- You consistently raise the bar for code quality, reliability, and system design.
- You are a trusted partner to product and business leaders, shaping roadmaps and identifying opportunities to scale impact.
- You mentor and support senior and junior engineers alike, helping grow both technical skills and product intuition.
- You build with urgency and care, keeping customer experience and long-term maintainability in balance.

Key Focus Areas:

You’ll own one or more strategic initiatives, which may include:

- Our telemedicine platform
- The home delivery experience
- Growth experimentation and personalization
- Core pharmacy infrastructure
- Development of entirely new product lines

What You’ll Do:

Technical Leadership & Execution

- Design and evolve backend and frontend architecture for scalable, high-performance systems
- Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code
- Lead code reviews and promote engineering best practices
- Investigate and resolve complex performance or reliability issues
- Drive the release of new features end-to-end with testing, documentation, and monitoring

## Team Development & Mentorship

- Provide technical guidance and coaching to senior and junior engineers
- Help shape our engineering culture by modeling ownership, curiosity, and high standards
- Foster strong cross-functional collaboration to ensure alignment between engineering, product, and business

Innovation & Learning

- Stay ahead of industry trends, tools, and technologies—and bring them back to the team
- Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on ideas with a learning mindset
- Champion experimentation and data-driven decision making

Communication & Feedback

- Communicate complex technical topics clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
- Give and receive feedback with empathy and honesty
- Build trust within and across teams to unlock high-impact collaboration

## What We’re Looking For

- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with increasing scope and impact
- Proven experience owning significant systems or product areas from design through launch
- Strong expertise in at least one modern language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Go, etc.)
- Experience in distributed systems, API design, and performance optimization
- Passion for mentoring and helping teams grow
- Track record of influencing without authority and aligning stakeholders across functions
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Why Join Us:

It is rare to have a company that both deeply impacts its customers and is able to provide its services across a massive population.  At Blink, we have a huge impact on people when they are most vulnerable: at the intersection of their healthcare and finances. We are also the fastest growing healthcare company in the country and are driving that impact across millions of new patients every year.  Our business model not only helps people, but drives economics that allow us to build a generational company. We are a relentlessly learning, constantly curious, and aggressively collaborative cross-functional team dedicated to inventing new ways to improve the lives of our customers.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity of all kinds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
