Head of engineering

Melbourne
Blinq
Posted: 2 May
Offer description

Role & Impact We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to lead and scale Blinq’s engineering organization across Web and Mobile, and to architect the next evolution of our platform around an agentic workforce.

Our 35‑person engineering team is the core engine behind Blinq’s growth. This role goes beyond traditional engineering leadership—you’ll be responsible for shaping how humans and intelligent systems build, ship, and operate software at Blinq.

You’ll partner directly with the Founder to define and execute a deeply technical, platform‑first strategy that enables rapid product iteration, embeds AI into the development lifecycle, and unlocks step‑function gains in engineering velocity and quality.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. You’ll stay close to the code, architecture, and systems design — setting a high technical bar and ensuring we build with rigor, scalability, and taste.

What You’ll Do

Lead, mentor, and grow a high‑performing team of Web and Mobile engineers, while embedding a culture of ownership, craft, and technical excellence

Define and execute Blinq’s platform strategy, ensuring systems are scalable, resilient, and built for speed

Drive adoption of an agentic engineering model — integrating AI tools and workflows that meaningfully increase developer leverage

Stay close to the code: review architecture, dive into complex technical problems, and guide key implementation decisions

Partner with the CEO/Founder to shape long‑term technical direction and align engineering with company strategy

Own engineering execution end‑to‑end — from ideation to production — with a focus on velocity, quality, and reliability

Build and evolve team structure, hiring exceptional talent while maintaining a high‑performance bar

Establish scalable processes and systems that enable fast iteration without compromising engineering standards

What You’ll Bring

Experience leading and scaling a high‑performing engineering organization (~35 engineers), including managing managers and senior ICs

Strong technical background—you’ve been deep in the weeds before and can still engage at the code, system design, and architecture level

Proven ability to define and execute platform and technical strategy for high‑growth products

Deep curiosity and conviction around AI/agentic workflows and how they reshape how engineering teams operate

Strong product instincts and a bias toward building experiences users love

Ability to operate in a fast‑paced, high‑ownership startup environment

Exceptional coaching and talent development skills — you raise the bar for everyone around you

What You Get

Equity & ownership: We’re building something massive, and we want you to share in the upside

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

Free food: Enjoy daily breakfast and lunch at some of our offices, plus an always‑stocked snack bar

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
