Senior Data Engineer

🌍 London (in office 3 days/ week)🤝 Product and Engineering💚 Reporting to our CISO

We're not just closing the digital divide; we're reconnecting distributed organisations, enabling seamless communication, and re-engaging employees like never before. 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.

Data plays a critical role in how we build, operate and scale the platform — from powering internal insights to enabling Blink IQ , our customer-facing analytics product.

The Role

You will be one of the first dedicated hires in our data function, helping establish the foundations of Blink’s data platform and engineering practices.

This is a hands-on role with significant influence over how the platform evolves. You will help modernise parts of our stack, improve performance and reliability, and support the development of Blink IQ 2.0 , our customer-facing analytics product.

You’ll work closely with engineering, DevOps and stakeholders across the business, and help shape how the wider data function grows over time.
