Senior Software Engineer

Blink Health
New York, NY
On-site

Who this role is best for

Aimed at experienced software engineers with AI integration expertise who are eager to shape technical standards in a collaborative, high-impact healthcare tech environment.

Best fit for

  • Candidates who are comfortable shaping technical standards and culture in a new engineering org
    — “This is a chance to be one of the engineers who was there at the beginning, setting technical standards.”
  • Individuals who actively use AI tools in their engineering workflow and can advocate for their integration
    — “Active, hands-on use of AI tools as a core part of your engineering workflow.”

Things to consider

  • The Bay Area location is a foundational requirement, not a preference, for this role.
    — “BlinkRx is opening its first Bay Area engineering office.”
  • The role demands a high level of autonomy and initiative, as permission is not expected for innovation.
    — “Engineers who experiment relentlessly, integrate it into everything they touch, and are done waiting for permission to do their best work.”

How to stand out

  • Highlight your experience in system ownership and end-to-end launches in your resume and interviews.
    — “Proven experience owning significant systems or product areas from design through launch.”
  • Demonstrate how you have embedded AI into your engineering workflow, not just used it as a feature.
    — “build with AI as a way of working, not as a feature.”
  • Emphasize your ability to lead code reviews and raise technical standards for teams.
    — “Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code and lead code reviews that raise the bar for the entire team.”
  • Showcase your cross-functional collaboration experience with product, design, and operations teams.
    — “Partner cross-functionally with product, design, data, and operations to shape roadmaps and accelerate impact.”
  • Demonstrate your ability to rapidly prototype and iterate with a bias for action.
    — “Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate with a learning mindset and a bias for action.”

About the role

Original posting from Blink Health via Greenhouse

Company Overview:

Blink Health 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 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!

The Opportunity:

BlinkRx is opening its first Bay Area engineering office, and we are building the founding team now. This is not a lateral move into an established org. This is a chance to be one of the engineers who was there at the beginning, setting technical standards, shaping how AI gets embedded into an engineering culture from day one, and writing code that ships to production fast and reaches real patients immediately.

We are looking for Full Stack Engineers who build with AI as a way of working, not as a feature. Engineers who experiment relentlessly, integrate it into everything they touch, and are done waiting for permission to do their best work. The founding team sets the culture and the trajectory. That opportunity does not come around often, and it is rarer still when the company is already proven at scale.

Responsibilities:

Lead architecture and execution for complex features or systems across multiple teams or domains, with an emphasis on AI-integrated solutions. 

Design and evolve backend and frontend architecture for scalable, high-performance systems. 

Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code and lead code reviews that raise the bar for the entire team. 

Actively integrate AI tooling into your development workflow and help establish that standard across the engineering organization. 

Investigate and resolve complex performance and reliability issues end-to-end. 

Drive the release of new features with testing, documentation, and monitoring from day one. 

Partner cross-functionally with product, design, data, and operations to shape roadmaps and accelerate impact. 

Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate with a learning mindset and a bias for action. 

Communicate complex technical topics clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.

Qualifications:

5+ years of software engineering experience 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 such as Python, JavaScript, or Go. 

Active, hands-on use of AI tools as a core part of your engineering workflow. 

Experience in distributed systems, API design, and performance optimization. 

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.
