Senior Software Engineer 2

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer II at Blink, you’ll take on some of our most critical technical challenges and deliver high-impact solutions that shape the future of our products and platforms. You’ll lead the design and execution of initiatives that often span multiple teams, ensuring millions of customers have seamless, affordable access to prescription medications.

You’ll work hands-on to build scalable, reliable systems while also influencing technical strategy, mentoring engineers across the team, and partnering closely 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. As a Senior Software Engineer II, you’ll be both a builder and a leader raising the bar for technical excellence and helping drive Blink forward.

Role Success

You are an engineer who thrives on solving some of the most complex and meaningful challenges in healthcare. You have a track record of delivering technical solutions that span multiple teams and systems, and you’re excited to build products that give our customers the best possible experience purchasing prescription medications.

We believe in using a small number of well-known tools like AWS, Python, Javascript, MySQL, and Linux. We are looking for Senior Engineer II candidates who value simplicity, pragmatism, and impact — engineers who not only write code, but also take on broad ownership, drive cross-team initiatives, and mentor others to raise the bar.

Senior Engineers II at Blink take ownership of our hardest, most strategic problems. Your job is to envision and refine solutions that scale across teams, set high standards for engineering excellence, and execute with autonomy and accountability.

You will collaborate closely with talented cross-functional teams — designers, product managers, data scientists, marketers, and operators — as well as across multiple engineering groups. Through these partnerships, you’ll shape technical direction, grow our business, and above all, ensure that our customers have access to the least expensive and highest satisfaction pharmacy experience on earth.

At Blink, we determine the specific focus of engineering roles through the interview process. Key potential areas of ownership include: our telemedicine platform; our home delivery experience; our growth systems; our core pharmacy platform; and new product line development. We’ll work with you to find the right fit.

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

• Give and receive feedback with empathy and honesty
• Build trust within and across teams to unlock high-impact collaboration

What We Are Looking For

• Minimum of 7+ years in a software engineering role, with significant experience driving initiatives that span multiple teams or systems.
• Strong system design and architecture expertise, especially in distributed or large-scale platforms.
• Experience owning projects or domains from design through delivery and ongoing evolution.
• Proven ability to mentor other engineers and improve team performance.
• Comfortable influencing technical direction and building consensus among multiple stakeholders.
• Collaborative and communicative — a Class-A communicator who simplifies complexity, builds alignment, and drives clarity.
• BA/BS degree in Computer Science or related field; advanced degree preferred but not required.
