About Blink

Blink is an employee app for frontline workers, with industry-leading engagement and a DAU of 99%. We're dedicated to scaling our platform through precision, automation, and innovation. As part of a world-class engineering team, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of how we support frontline workers.

The Role

We're looking for a pragmatic, delivery-focused Engineering Manager to lead two of our Product & Engineering (P&E) teams. You'll drive effective execution, uphold engineering standards, and support first-time managers in adjacent teams. Though this is not a hands-on coding role, your technical experience will help unblock teams when needed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead two cross-functional P&E teams: with a focus on high-quality, timely delivery, you'll ensure work is well-defined, prioritised, and continuously flowing.
• Champion Agile Execution: Instil and evolve Agile and Kanban-based workflows. You'll help teams break work into manageable increments, visualise progress, and improve flow efficiency over time.
• Enable High-Quality Engineering: Promote robust engineering practices — including code reviews, CI/CD, automated testing, and clear documentation — to support sustainable delivery.
• Mentor New Leaders: Coach and support team leads in adjacent groups who are taking their first steps into engineering management, helping them build confidence and delivery discipline.
• Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Design, and Platform stakeholders to ensure alignment on priorities and outcomes.
• Support When Needed: While not a coding role, your background allows you to dive into technical discussions, triage urgent issues, and assist in unblocking teams when necessary.
