Blink, a mobile-first employee experience platform, puts everything employees need right in their hands. With teams in Boston, London, and Sydney, we're making waves worldwide, partnering with industry leaders like Domino's, JD Sports and McDonald's.

We are seeking a highly skilled full stack engineer with a strong background in full-stack development to join our 'rapid delivery' team.

As a member of this 4-5 person strong team you will leverage your expertise in TypeScript, Express, Node.js, Next.js, SQL, and React to build and enhance our platform.

You should be comfortable assisting customers occasionally and enjoy tackling challenging problems with a focus on effective and timely solutions. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, embraces challenges, and is ambitious with a startup mentality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes, practices, and tools, with a focus on efficiency and scalability.
• Provide cross-functional technical guidance and support both internally across the company and externally with customers, ensuring clear communication and timely follow-through.
• Assist customers on technical calls as needed, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills and a focus on customer success.

• Full-stack Development & Integrations: Extensive experience with TypeScript (including React, Next.js, Express, and Node.js), SQL, and building seamless integrations with external systems. Proficiency in a statically-typed backend language such as Scala or Java.
• Identity & Access Management: Understanding of SCIM for user provisioning and identity management, as well as SAML 2.0 and Single Sign-On protocols. Must be capable of effectively implementing and troubleshooting SSO and SCIM integrations.
• High-Quality Code: Proven track record of writing clean, testable, and maintainable code that meets high standards of software quality. A developer who consistently levels-up the code base.
• Problem-Solving & Scalability: Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop scalable and durable features in high-availability environments.
• Adaptability & Communication: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with excellent communication skills to support both internal teams and external customers. Must be able to articulate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences effectively.
  

Nice to have:

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with Grafana and other monitoring tools.
• Prior experience with Scala and Java is a plus.
