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!
As a Senior Software Engineer II at Blink, you’ll take on some of our most critical technical challenges and deliver high-impact solutions that shape the future of our products and platforms. You’ll lead the design and execution of initiatives that often span multiple teams, ensuring millions of customers have seamless, affordable access to prescription medications.
You’ll work hands-on to build scalable, reliable systems while also influencing technical strategy, mentoring engineers across the team, and partnering closely with product, design, data, and operations to accelerate Blink’s growth.
We believe in pragmatic engineering using trusted tools like AWS, Python, JavaScript, MySQL/Postgres, and Linux. We value simplicity, bias for action, and a deep focus on customer impact. As a Senior Software Engineer II, you’ll be both a builder and a leader raising the bar for technical excellence and helping drive Blink forward.
Role SuccessYou are an engineer who thrives on solving some of the most complex and meaningful challenges in healthcare.

We believe in using a small number of well-known tools like AWS, Python, Javascript, MySQL, and Linux.
