Expression of Interest?
This isn’t a live role - yet.
We’re always looking to meet sharp humans who see the world a little differently and want to help us reimagine how people connect. If the role you’re looking for isn’t listed right now, this is your chance to raise your hand early. We’ll reach out when something opens up that matches your energy, your skills, and where we’re headed next.
What is Blinq?
Blinq is building the fastest, most intuitive way to share who you are and remember who you meet. What started as the world’s #1 digital business card is now the starting point for over 50 million new relationships a year - and growing at unicorn pace.
Our vision is to build the world’s intelligence layer for professional relationships - one that remembers for you, prompts when it matters, and keeps you in play. If that’s the kind of scale and ambition you want to be part of, you’re in the right place.
Why You’ll Love It Here
• Rapid growth: Doubling ARR every few months, expanding our product surface, and rapidly building our team across Sydney, San Francisco, Melbourne, and New York.
• Well-resourced: $45m+ raised from the likes of Blackbird, Touring Capital, Hubspot Ventures, and Square Peg - we’re continuously investing in the people and tools that fuel our mission.
• A rare moment to join: We’re hitting an inflection point - big enough to have momentum, small enough for you to shape the journey.
• Customers love it: 140k+ reviews and a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store - people around the world rely on Blinq to make that first interaction count.
• We work in person, on purpose: We believe creativity and energy are better face-to-face - so we spend 3 days a week in the office and the rest where you work best.
People & Talent at Blinq
Our People & Talent team is the heartbeat of Blinq, ensuring we’re always bringing on and growing the people who keep our mission alive. We champion a culture where everyone feels seen, supported, and motivated to do the best work of their lives. If you’re passionate about crafting a workplace that’s fast-moving, deeply human, and built for scale, you’ll feel right at home.
Role & Impact
You’ll build the team that builds Blinq. As Senior Recruiter, you’ll shape the future of our engineering capability. You'll partner directly with our founder, VP Eng, and Head of Talent to raise the bar on who we hire and how we hire them. This role is about craft, not coordination - a high-trust, high-impact position for someone who sees recruiting as a product, not a pipeline.
What You Will Do
- Drive impact — you'll own engineering hiring end-to-end with a strong focus on senior and critical engineering hires (e.g. Staff, Principal, and Leadership)
- Partner with our founder, VP of Eng, and hiring leads to deeply understand needs and build funnels that will put Blinq in a position to win
- Build creative, multi-channel, always-on funnels of high-calibre talent across both digital and in-person experiences
- Design and run recruiting processes that move fast and build strong candidate engagement
- Continuously evolve our assessment methods, interview design, and hiring rituals to drive quality over convenience
What You’ll Bring
- 7–10 years of full-cycle recruiting experience with a strong track record in building engineering teams
- World-class sourcing - you know what good looks like, you know how to find them, and you know how to hook them
- You’re obsessed with candidate experience, able to convert interest and leads into highly engaged candidates
- World-class partnership skills - you know how to build trust and credibility with leaders and hiring teams
- A growth hacking mindset - you think in systems, you move fast, you solve problems, and you use AI tools and your talent tech stack to multiply your impact and the quality of your work
What You Get
We hold a high bar and move with intent. You’ll get the clarity, trust, and ownership to meet it - and a team that pushes to do the best work of our lives. We back that with:
• Equity & ownership: We’re building something massive, and we want you to share in the upside. Genuinely.
• Competitive salary & growth path: As Blinq grows, your role and compensation grow with it - no glass ceilings here.
• Generous paid time off: At least 20 days fully disconnect each year, with a flexible policy beyond that.
• Parental leave that grows with you: 12 to 26 weeks full pay, based on tenure.
• Free food: Enjoy daily breakfast and lunch at some of our offices, plus an always-stocked snack bar.
